Headmasters in Tamil Nadu have been told not to mention a student’s caste or religion while issuing transfer certificates if the parents make a request.

In a circular to all chief educational officers, V C Rameswaramurugan, director of school education, said headmasters could issue the certificates after getting parents or guardians to submit a letter requesting that caste and religion should not be mentioned.

"The chief educational officers should ensure that these orders were followed by the headmasters while giving transfer certificates for the students who are passing out in 2018-19 academic year," Rameswaramurugan said in the circular.

The directions were issued based on the representations made by Akhil Bhartiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad state president Sanjeev on January 24, 2019.

Recently, 35-year-old lawyer Sneha Parthibaraja from Tirupattur in Vellore district got a ‘no caste, no religion’ certificate after several years of struggle.
