Seven castes brought under Devendrakula Velalar title
The State government has come out with a revised list of Scheduled Castes in the light of the Central law on Devendrakula Velalar coming into force on May 15. A cluster of seven castes — Devendrakulathan, Kadaiyan (excluding those in the coastal areas of Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Ramanathapuram, Pudukkottai, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam districts), Kalladi, Kudumban, Pallan, Pannadi, and Vathiriyan — has been given the generic title of Devendrakula Velalar, which comes as entry no. 17 in the revised list. The Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department on Tuesday issued an order and asked district collectors, heads of departments and other authorities looking after the issue of community certificates to go by the latest list.
