Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said on Monday that the Telangana government’s welfare initiatives for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and minorities are deeply rooted in the ideology of Dr B. R. Ambedkar.

Paying rich tributes to Ambedkar on his birth anniversary, Revanth Reddy said the “people’s government” was implementing transformative welfare schemes guided by Ambedkar’s vision. These include key decisions such as enhancing quotas for backward classes and reclassifying Scheduled Castes.

The chief minister highlighted the government’s efforts to provide quality education through Ambedkar Knowledge Centres and Young India Residential Schools and to promote self-employment among marginalized communities through the Rajiv Yuva Shakti Scheme.
