HYDERABAD: Seven resolutions on various developmental works were adopted during the TRS plenary on Monday. One of them was about mounting pressure on the Centre to take up a Backward Class (BC) census. The resolution also demanded that a separate Ministry for Backward Classes be set up in the Union government.

The assurances included according the national project status to either Palamuru-Rangareddy or Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation schemes, setting up a tribal university, increasing the State’s equity in Singareni Collieries Company Limited, reorganisation of Assembly seats, division of Andhra Pradesh Bhavan, sanction of Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) in Karimnagar, Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) and Navodaya schools, a steel factory in Bayyaram, among others.
