KCR plans to develop Most Backward Classes in Telangana

​Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has announced that a special comprehensive plan will be put in place for the development of the Most Backward Classes (MBCs) in the State.

KCR said while continuing the BC Corporation, a separate MBC Corporation would be set up and funds for the MBCs will be allocated in the State Budget and the funds will be spent through the MBC.

Despite the fact that several programmes and schemes were implemented since Independence but most backward classes are still suffering in the darkness due to lack of any development and welfare. There is a need to bring these most backward classes into the light and special programmes should be implemented for them while continuing the welfare schemes for the BCs, the CM explained.

KCR reviewed measures to be taken for the welfare of the MBCs at Pragathi Bhavan here on Monday. Finance Minister Eatala Rajender, MLA Srinivas Goud, MBC Association national president Kalappa, General Secretary I Sangam Surya Rao, Vice-President Nethikar Premlal and others participated.

The Chief Minister had lunch with the MBC leaders and representatives and held a marathon meeting for six and half hours.

The Chief Minister said several castes and families have been distressed due to loss of hereditary professions and lack of assistance from the government. They were not extended political and economic help.

The government will identify such classes, families and find out their financial status and an exclusive MBC Development Corporation will help in addressing their problems, he felt. There will not be any political interference in the Corporation affairs, the CM assured.

The MBCs will directly get funds from the government and will decide which caste wants, what measures to be taken to develop their profession and trades etc. Children of MBCs will be admitted in large numbers in Government Residential Schools.
