[edit] EVR and Kula Kalvi Thittam/Hereditary Education Policy Rajaji introduced a new education policy based on family vocation which its opponents dubbed Kula Kalvi Thittam (Hereditary Education Policy). As per this policy schools will work in the morning and students had to compulsorily learn the family vocation in the afternoon. A Carpenter%u2019s son would learn Carpentry, a priest's son chanting hymns and a barber%u2019s son hair cutting and shaving after school in the afternoon.[27] EVR felt that the scheme was a clever device against Dalits and Other Backward Classes as their first generation was getting educated only then.[28] EVR demanded its withdrawal and launched protests against the Kula Kalvi Thittam (Hereditary Education Policy) which he felt was caste-based and was aimed at maintaining caste hegemony. Rajaji quit in 1954 and Kamaraj scrapped it after becoming chief minister.[29][30]
