A status report on the implementation of the SCs and STs (prevention of atrocities) Act in Tamil Nadu was released by the Tamil Nadu Right to information campaign. The Strategic Multi -Actor Round Table (SMART) was attended by over 50 participants from all over the state. P. S. Krishnan IAS (Former Secretary to Government of India, Ministry of Welfare) delivers the presidential address and received the first copy of the report from M.S Porkodi. R. Karupusamy, Director READ, presided. Edwin, HRF presented the findings. Shri Karupusamy presented a toolkit developed to monitor the act using RTI and the rules. This motivated the participants, who resolved to continuously monitor implementation of the act in Tamil Nadu, and formed the state level implementation monitoring group for the purpose.
