Paper I · 15 Policies of Telangana State · 15.3 Welfare of women and social groups

15.3.2 Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes and minorities: caste survey, SC sub-categorisation, residential societies and schemes

Telangana pairs special funds and residential "Gurukul" schools for SC, ST, BC and minority children with two big social-justice steps of 2024-25: a statewide caste survey (BCs 56.33% including Muslim BCs) and the country's first law sub-dividing the 15% SC quota into three groups (in force 14 April 2025); the proposed 42% BC quota remained blocked in court and pending assent.
