VIJAYAWADA: The State Cabinet has given its nod to the recommendations of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on the report submitted by One Man Commission headed by Rajiv Ranjan Mishra on sub-classification of Scheduled Castes.
It is learnt that the Cabinet, which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu at the Secretariat on Monday, approved the GoM’s recommendations to implement the SC sub-classification by taking State as a unit.
Though there was a proposal from the public representatives that it would be better to take the district as a unit for the purpose, the Cabinet had decided to consider the State as a unit for implementation of the SC categorisation, based on the 2011 census, and district as a unit after the completion of the 2026 census.
A resolution approving the report of the One Man Commission will be passed in the Assembly, and sent to the National Commission for Scheduled Castes.
As promised during the NDA election campaign, the Cabinet approved the proposal to provide up to 200 units of power per month to the houses of handloom weavers, and to supply up to 500 units of power to powerloom units free of cost. This will benefit 93,000 weavers and 10,534 powerloom units.
The draft bill to enact The Andhra Pradesh State Teachers Transfer Regulation Act, 2025 for teachers working in Government, Zilla Parishad, Mandal Parishad, and Municipal Schools across the State got the Cabinet clearance.
