AMMK general secretary, T.T.V. Dhinakaran on Thursday, May 2, 2024 reiterated his stand against the plan to bring Kallar reclamation schools under the control of the Directorate of School Education.
In a post on his social media handle (X), Mr. Dhinakaran said after the assurance by the authorities against any such move in the wake of resistance to an announcement during the 2023-24 Budget that the Reclamation Schools would come under the Directorate, welfare associations for denotified communities now appealed to the government to stop the Directorate from taking control of the schools.
He apprehended that the proposed action would lead to the loss of concessions being enjoyed by nearly 30,000 students in 298 Schools and taking away the rights of Piramalai Kallars.
