Telangana to Present Caste Census Report in Special Assembly Session
The Telangana state cabinet is set to convene on February 5 to discuss key issues concerning the caste census and the categorization of Scheduled Castes (SC). The meeting will be a crucial step in addressing these matters before presenting the caste census report in the state assembly.
According to Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy, the report will first be reviewed by the cabinet sub-committee, which held a meeting under his chairmanship to deliberate on the findings. Following the sub-committee’s review, the full cabinet will assess the report before it is formally presented in the upcoming special session of the Telangana Legislative Assembly, scheduled for February 5.
The caste census and the categorization of SC communities are significant issues for the state, and the government’s commitment to transparency and careful consideration of the census data has been emphasized. The results of the caste census, once tabled in the assembly, will likely have broad implications for policy and social welfare in the state.
This cabinet meeting and subsequent assembly session mark an important step toward addressing issues related to caste-based classification and ensuring equitable representation and benefits for communities within Telangana.
