Thirumavalavan asks government to restore Adi Dravidar Welfare name

Times of India reported that VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan asked the Tamil Nadu government to restore the Adi Dravidar Welfare Department name instead of continuing under the broader Social Justice label. TVK Tracker records this as a portfolio, identity, and social-justice demand inside the ruling support ecosystem. It does not change department status by itself, but it gives a specific public test to track: whether the cabinet, government orders, or rules of business revise the department name or clarify the policy reason for retaining the current structure.
