The Tamil Nadu Arunthathiyars (Special Reservation of seats in Educational Institutions including Private Educational Institutions and of appointments or posts in the services under the State within the Reservation for the Scheduled Castes) Act, 2009
Education200915 sections
This law provides special reservation benefits to the Arunthathiyar community, a group of Scheduled Castes in Tamil Nadu, to help them overcome social and educational disadvantages. It mandates that sixteen percent of the seats reserved for Scheduled Castes in all educational institutions, including private schools and colleges, and in government jobs must be set aside for Arunthathiyars. This preferential treatment applies within the existing SC quota and ensures that if more qualified candidates from this community are available, they are given priority. The measure aims to promote equality and improve access to opportunities for this historically marginalized group.
