Sourashtra Munnettra Kazhagam (SMK)

SMK IS AN ORGANISATION: NOT A POLITICAL PARTY. 
 There are hundreds of Organisations and Associations in our community doing lot of services. SMK is started for the following purpose:
  1. To unite Sourashtras all over the world
  2. To unite all Sourashtra Organizations and Associations together
  3. To get political recognition -  we are above 2 ½ % of the total population of  Tamil Nadu. But we do not have any MLA or MP and there is no one to represent the community at large.
  4. Once we unite  and come together under one umbrella, we will have a say, command  and recognition.  You all know the union is strength.
  5. The majority of our population are weavers. They do not come under  social security as they are  under  un-organized sector. They do not get any assistance  from the Govt like Green house scheme, loans, housing plots which other categories of people  get.
SMK will represent them to get all the benefits and fulfil their requirements. SMK will fight to get the weavers status as agriculturist status to get loans etc. To get Most Backward Status as there are lot of poor weavers  backward in education and are below poverty line This organization will co-operate with all the organization / Associations of our community  and other communities to uplift our community. This organization is not against any other organization and does not intent to do parallel activities. All the Sourashtras above 18 year of age by default should become  member of  SMK.
