Tamil Nadu had numerous women reformers like Moovalur Ramamirdham Ammaiyar and Dr. Muthulakshmi Ammaiyar to name a few. They fought against the Devadasi system. In honour of Moovalur Ramamirdham Ammaiyar’s contributions, the Tamil Nadu government introduced the “Moovalur Ramamirdham Ammal Ninaivu Marriage Assistance Scheme”.
