“Creation of a social justice department akin to health and education departments is essential to create a more just society,” said A. Kathir, founder of Evidence, an NGO based in Madurai.
He was speaking at a civil society consultation workshop on social justice and equity organised by Madras School of Social Work (MSSW) along with the Tamil Nadu government organised for various non-governmental organisations (NGOs) operating in the district and surrounding districts, here on Tuesday.
