On the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti, Telangana became the first state in India to implement the Supreme Court-backed SC sub-categorisation. The state government announced it as a historic move towards social justice and equitable reservation for marginalised SC sub-castes.
Telangana’s Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy established a one-man commission led by a retired High Court judge to review Scheduled Castes (SC) categorization, following a Supreme Court ruling. The commission must report within 60 days, impacting job notifications and local elections. Additionally, a social and economic survey for Backward Castes will be conducted.
