In the fulfillment of empowering our women folk, We have undertake many socio - economic programs includeing gem cutting training programmes, training on Tailoring Aids awareness programmes etc.,
It was discovered that 95% of the dalit households live in huts made of muds and hay while the remaining 5% live in tiled houses in Tamilnadu.
Landholding pattern of the union is much alarming. In our panchayat union 80.6% dalits own lands less that 1.00 hectare of land and 14.5% of dalits are land less laborers.
The landlines are the reason for all kinds of oppression. As the dalit of our district do not possess lands, they have to depend upon upper caste people like Udiyars, Gounder,Reddiars, Muthiriars, Chettiyars, Vanniars and Vellalas for their lively hood.
A very conspicuous feature in the living condition of the dalits is the extensive oppressive situation in which they live. The social oppression they suffer is varied and multifaceted which includes different kinds of social resections and compulsions as well as discriminations, harassment's and other atrocities. Following are major restriction on dalits.
-Entry in village tea shops
-Availing of village barber service for shaving availing of village dhobi service.
The allotment of seats in the local body counsels to Dalit women is really a mockery it is the high caste male or mirasdar who really rules the local government under the shadow of dalit women.
It is the dalit women who are sexually oppressed ill-treated etc. by the landlords in their work places. The Economic spare does not give justice to the dalit women. Dalit women are paid low wages, they are paid Rs. 10 -15 per day for the agricultural works whereas men are paid double tax wages paid to women. Dalit women are not treated equally by men. Dalits women are battered and ill treated by men. Besides this, they are the ones who rear the children, collect fire wood fetch drinking water and earn for living. Not even 1-% dalit women own property on their names.
Though caste atrocities are not reported frequency but the segregation or dalit I all respect, is being practiced in all the village of the district. Even though there are many
-Drawing water from well located in non-dalit areas.
-Washing / Bathing in canal embankments.
-Taking procession of dalit funeral members in high caste streets
-Taking procession of dalit festivals in high caste streets
-Walking with footwear's in the streets of dalits.
-Taking part in the village common meetings
-Sitting coffee / Tea in the same glasses or cup of Tumblers
-Those are used for high castes.
Even though the dalit have their own traditional panchayat set up at each village level., these panchayats do no make any significant changes in the lives of the dalits. This panchayat set right quarrels among the dalit of their villages, collect money form the members of the dalit and celebrate their villages festivals. Dalit and celebrate their village festival. Dalit lack leadership qualities and hence they do not take upper hand in the decision making process of common village affairs.
Inspite of the fact that the dalits are found to be the largest community, normally in some areas, none of them figures in village and panchayat councils except in the councils reserved for dalts. The independence of the dalit members in the councils are highly questionable. This reflects the actual reality in the village where economic power, caste hierarchy and leadership qualities are basic qualifications if one wishes to be the part of the policy and decision making bodies. dalit organizations functioning in our area, No concrete steps have been initiated by these origination.
These women are not paid just wages, no service conditions such as leave, bonus, increment medical allowance etc., is given to them Moreover, the dalit women are the sexual targets by the employers, managers and other male workers the sad fact is that women of dalit community members are not provided with maternity facilities, and compensations are not extended to dalit women for the casualties that takes place during working hours.
In the dalit organization, the leadership which is presently dominated by the urban middle class men and urban dalit elites of men should be prepared to share the resource women and involve them in the decisions making bodies. Considering the discrimination under which the women have suffered for long including those from within the community special priority should be given to involve them more meaning fully in all the structure of the dalit organization.
To mitigate the suffering of women training programmes for the formation of women Sangams, credit union and to deal with local issues including caste discriminations and environment protection are planned.
We hope our above mentioned innovative efforts will empower women or our area.
