The invitation for the celebration of the silver jubilee of PARAVAR NALA PERAVAI OF CHENNAI and the feast of OUR LADY OF SNOWS, to be held on 25 th August, 2018,at Kamarajar Arangam in Teynampet, has come to me yesterday. I do not know who delivered the invitation. Any how , thanks for the invitation.
The reading of the invitation reveals quite a few dignitaries are being honoured for their outstanding feats in their life time. The significant feature of the celebration is the invitation extended to different fisher federation , parties and sangams. A good move to synthesise the community beyond religion.
A welcome feature is the announcement of participation of Dy. Chief Minister, hon ‘ble O. Panneerselvam ,minister for fisheries,hon’ble D. Jayakumar, and minister for rural industries, hon’ble Benjamin and former MLA JCD Prabhakar, VN Ravi MLA, SATYA MLA, Inbadurai MLA, and a host of other political personalities.t
The PERAVAI has taken a new step.The Global PARAVAR congratulates the efforts and appreciates its attempts to break political new grounds.
The PERAVAI has also invited leaders of different political parties. It is necessary that the occasion should be utilised to focus their attention on our political needs.
The following political agenda is looming in the air.
1.exclusive constituencies in the Tamilnadu coast. At least six in number, leniently drawn,parallel to the coast with concentration of fishermen as voters. In this connection the case filed by Peter Rayen and the orders obtained by him in the high court of Madras has to be highlighted in the meet.
2.A separate ministry in the central government, for fisheries or and fishermen to look after the industry and fishermen
3.safeguards for fishermen , fishing in alien seas , from Tamilnadu. A corporation to be organised by Tamilnadu Government.
4.preference to boys and girls from our communities in the Tamilnadu fisheries university and maritime courses in central maritime and marine universities..

The GLOBAL PERAVAI WISHES THE CELEBRATION ALL SUCCESS.
