TN Assembly passes resolution urging Centre to use official OBC names in 2027 Census

The resolution covers Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes and Denotified Communities listed by the Tamil Nadu and Union governments. It also calls for these official lists to be built into the census portal so that people can select their caste from a fixed list rather than enter names themselves. The resolution said caste details should be collected for these communities in the same manner as data for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
