Some of the resolutions passed in the Annual General Body meeting held on 16-11-2003 at Kochi are given below:- 1. The Central Organisation will constitute a Seperate Wing to take up the issue of Santhikars who are membership of our community to redress their grievances in service conditions. 2. Nearly 3 lakh Tulu speaking members of our community are living in Kerala. But the Government of Kerala inspite of promises, has not recognised them as a Linguistic minority and grant them seperate quota in Education and Employment. 3. Sealing them as "Upperclass", the Udupi Brahmins are denied with reservation in education, employment and other fields. This should be rectified immediately by way of amending the existing reservation system. 4. Government of India should include Tulu Language in the 14th Chapter.

We intend to share the inner feeling of all of us after the retirement, over the real joy and thrill experienced from the lap of mother ship Shivaji and togetherness we felt throughout the service tenure. We like to share the joy and sorrow of the life together and collectively. Many juniors and seniors influenced the total development of our own character and helped in laying the foundation of our achievement at this stage. Let us clear our mind of thoughts and tensions and let us shower in abundance the natural love and feeling of unity and team spirit. So that we all can depart this world with joy and fulfillment. Perfection is in rarity but positive approach can enrich the life in all spheres even at this age. Let us hold our hands together in creating a wonderful, healthy and peaceful tomorrow.
