Orphans to be included in SC, ST lists
Warangal, April 3 : Orphans in the state who are under the care of
government orphanages and whose parents cannot be identified would be
henceforth listed among the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
This was revealed by Backward Class Welfare Minister Basavaraju
Saraiah on Sunday who said that these orphans would be issued SC/ST
certificates.
Mr Saraiah was speaking to media persons after participating in a Bala
Vikas Programme in Hanmokonda in Warangal district on Sunday.
Mr Saraiah said that the government will also provide primary
education to these orphans up to the tenth standard. "Such a
revolutionary and historical decision is perhaps the first in the
country, and it has been taken considering the orphans' welfare and
future," he stated.
