MGR selected duly qualified persons as ministers. He exhorted the ministers to fulfill the promises given to the people by the party. He never hesitated to get advice from experts in Science and Technology and fully knew that the corrupt administration would destroy all the best efforts of the Government. He also followed the foot steps ofAnnathurai.
The AIADMK government identified 201 communities belonging to Backward classes for purposes of relief and reservation under articles 15(4) and 16 (4) of the constitution. With a view to uplift the backward classes, the economic development corporation was set up in 1980. The AIADMK administration showed attention for socially neglected people. Rural communities were still devoid of the basic necessities of life even after 35 years of Independence.
The Tamil Nadu official language act was enacted for the development of the Tamil language. People settled in other states were encouraged to study Tamil. Inorder to enhance Tamil language and literature Tamil scholars were honoured by giving prizes and laurels.
