Call to make OBC Mahasabha a success

Ongole: The Andhra Pradesh BC Welfare Association called upon the BCs in the Prakasam district to actively participate and make Akhila Bharata Jateeya OBC Mahasabha a success which is scheduled for August 7 in Hyderabad.

The association president, Kesana Sankara Rao asked the members from all the districts to discuss the agenda behind the scheduled meeting with all and motivate them to participate in it for the benefit of all BCs.

Sankara Rao said that though the BC population is about 60 per cent in the country, only 0.15 per cent of them are receiving opportunities in education, employment and political areas. He complained that there is no fees reimbursement being implemented for the BCs in national institutions like IITs and IIMs.

He said that the OBC students are also not receiving scholarships and fellowships at the national level. He announced that to demand equal right for the OBCs in all fields, they are organising OBC Mahasabha on August 7 at Hyderabad and asked all BCs to participate and make it a success. Later, he released the pamphlets.

The association honorary president Kunchala Venkateswarlu, district working president Pendyala Narayana, district general secretary Balagani Anjaneyulu, spokesperson Bandaru Swamiraju and others also participated in the programme.
