Why has Andhra taken such a step?

  • It was an election promise made by Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy before the May 2019 elections.
  • Reason Cited:
    • Several complaints have come from people belonging to several backward castes that benefits and schemes of the government were not reaching them properly.
    • The current CM had promised that, if he is elected, he would set up separate corporations for Backward castes which have a population of more than 30,000 so that each corporation can micro manage a particular caste’s people and their needs.
    • Separate funding would be provided for these corporations to deliver government’s schemes and benefits to the beneficiaries.

The Plan

  • Welfare of BCs would be a priority for government which would spend up to Rs 75,000 crore for schemes and benefits for backward classes over five years.
  • Each corporation will have 1 chairperson and 12 directors from their respective sub categories. (There are 13 districts in AP, one from each..!!)
  • Corporations will identify the eligible beneficiaries of a particular sub-caste and ensure that the welfare is directed at them.
