A three-day national conclave on denotified, nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes concluded in Hyderabad on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, MLC and deputy chairman of State Legislative Council Banda Prakash and State BC commission chairman Dr. Vakulabharanam Krishna Mohan Rao said Telangana was a leading State in implementing development and welfare schemes for backward castes, most backward classes and nomadic communities.
They vehemently opposed the Centre’s indifferent attitude towards implementing welfare schemes for these sections. They sought to know why the rights of these sections, won after decades of struggle, were being stifled. They also sought to know why the Centre was refusing to take up a socio-economic caste census and wondered how development would take place without the allocation of adequate funds.
