AP Implements SC Sub-Categorization: Recruitment Drive to Follow

AP Implements SC Sub-Categorization:
The Andhra Pradesh government issued an ordinance to implement sub categorization among Scheduled Castes (SC). The aim is to ensure equal growth among all SC communities. This step followed a bill passed in both Assembly and Legislative Council. The Governor approved the bill. The ordinance helps in quick implementation of the law.

AP Implements SC Sub-Categorization:
The law divides 59 SC communities into three groups. The classification is based on population, backwardness and social indicators. Group I includes 12 castes. Group II includes 18 castes. Group III includes 29 castes. Each group gets a fixed percentage of reservation.

Group-I (1% Reservation): Bavuri, Chachati, Chandala, Dandasi, Dom, Ghasi, Godagali, Mehtar, Paki, Pamidi, Relli and Sapru.

Group-II (6.5% Reservation): Arundhatiya, Bindala, Chamar, Chambhar, Dakkal, Dhor, Godari, Gosangi, Jaggali, Jambuvulu, Kolupulavandlu, Madiga, Madiga Dasu, Mang, Mang Garodi, Matangi, Samagara and Sindhollu.

Group-III (7.5% Reservation): Adi Dravida, Anamuk, Araya Mala, Arva Mala, Bariki, Byagara, Chalavadi, Ellamalavar, Holeya, Holeya Dasari, Madiga Kuruma, Mahar, Mala, Mala Dasari, Mala Dasu, Mala Hannai, Malajangam, Mala Masti, Mala Sale, Mala Sanyasi, Manne, Mundala, Samban, Yatala, Valluvan, Adi Andhra, Masti, Mitta Ayyalavar, Panchama.

The Social Welfare Department prepared the ordinance. The Cabinet approved it. The law will ensure fair opportunities in education and jobs. A 200 point roster will be used for implementation. This will work in two cycles from points 1 to 100.

The government said this step aligns with constitutional goals. It will provide fair representation to all SC categories. The ordinance will apply to all 26 districts of Andhra Pradesh.

The recruitment process will speed up with this new law. The state government announced that teacher recruitment (DSC) will happen by June. The ordinance will support this process by ensuring proper representation in jobs.

The government believes this move will help in inclusive development of all SC communities. Each group will now get benefits based on their actual condition.
