The G.O. to raise the Scheduled Tribe quota from 6% to 10% will be passed by the state government within the next week, according to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao(KCR). This declaration was made by CM KCR during the Sunday evening in the name of 'Adivasi-Banjarala Atmeeya Sabha' at NTR Stadium. KCR said, 'This will work like a noose to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, unless the centre recognises our G.O.' Additionally, CM KCR declared that the 'Girijana Bandhu' programme, which is comparable to the current Dalit Bandhu scheme in the state, would also be put into effect soon. According to KCR, local tribal people without their own land will receive financial aid in the amount of Rs 10 lakhs.
