- The Karnataka State Adi Dravida Samaj Seva Sangh has urged the government to resolve the Adi Dravida community's demands at the cabinet meeting in Mangaluru on September 18.
- The association is seeking a ₹10 crore government grant for renovating the community's deities Satya Saaramani and Kanada Katadara Moolakshetra, a promise made in the Congress party's election manifesto.
- The association says the state government's hurried implementation of internal reservation has been a setback for the Adi Dravida community, which was left out because it has no specific sub-caste.
- Association state president Ganesh Prasad has asked that the community be included in the Scheduled Castes under the name 'Saaramani' and that an anthropological study be conducted.
- The outcome of the cabinet meeting will decide whether these long-pending community demands move forward.
