The Mutharaiar Joint Action Committee (MJAC) comprising 12 organisations that work towards the development of the community has called upon the State government to conduct caste-based enumeration of the population in the State.
The committee requested the Chief Minister to form a commission to collect caste-based data in Tamil Nadu and provide proportionate reservation in education and employment for the communities.
The panel, led by its coordinator S. Paneerselvam, also appreciated the Centre for allocating ₹200 crore for Denotified Tribes and for conducting an ethnographic study on 11 native tribes including the Mutharaiar.
