He told The Hindu that the Irulars wanted to pursue education and come up in life but the lack of basic amenities and denial of community certificates to the students by the revenue officials were reasons for their backwardness.

Jobs
These Irulars have given up their trade and have now taken up jobs either as daily wage earners or pick up forest produce for their livelihood. Though these people have been living in this hamlet for close to three generations, only a handful among them have managed to get houses built by the Tribal Welfare Board.
Even in this colony, roads, streetlights or water facilities are a rarity. Drinking water is supplied at only one spot, at the entrance of the village and since it is insufficient, the Irulas draw water from an open well.
P. Madhu, a resident of the colony, alleged that there was corruption in the identification of beneficiaries for the Kalaignar Housing Scheme.
The Irulars also said that they were finding it difficult to obtain community certificates and charged the officials with corruption.
It was only after the intervention of Mr P. Dillibabu that the district administration issued about 130 certificates.
The Irulars also have a long list of complaints. These include the denial of old aged pension to over 30 senior citizens and 30 students needing to trek two kilometres to Theerthamalai if they wanted to pursue school studies beyond middle school.
Only two girls, P. Lakshmi and S. Revathy are pursuing Plus One at the Government Higher Secondary School in Theerthamalai. Both of them complain that they have not yet received scholarship.
