Union Minister Requests Fast-Track Inclusion of Kadugolla Community in ST List
Union Minister V. Somanna has urged Home Minister Amit Shah to expedite the inclusion of Karnataka's Kadugolla community in the Scheduled Tribes (ST) list. The proposal, which has passed scrutiny by the Registrar General of India and been forwarded to the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, aims to address the community's social, educational, and economic backwardness. The demand for ST status has been pending for several years, with state government recommendations made in 2015 and 2018.
