Purohits conference held in Tamil Nadu

The Purohiths (priests) conference held here has appealed to the government to
constitute a welfare board for them and provide assistance for the education of their children.
    
The purohits, at the conference yesterday, said since they were economically backward, the government should implement various welfare schemes for them. The conference, organised by South Indian Purohits Trust, was inaugurated by Rama Gopalan, leader of Hindu Munnani.
   
Speaking on the occasion, Kanchi seer Sri Jayendra Saraswathi asked purohiths to work for the welfare of the people.
