Andr Pradesh has declared the Andhra Pradesh scheduled caste (subdrasification), 2025, which meant a decisive step towards categorizing the planned caste (SC) to subgroups for targeted provision of good living conditions.
The Regulation issued under GO No. 19 was signed by Governor S. Abdul Nazeer 16 April 2025 and was subsequently published in the State Bulletin on April 17 (Thursday).
The Decree, designated as the Andhra Pradesh No. 2 of 2025, seeks to provide a legal framework for the classification of SC communities to three subgroups to resolve the differences in representation and access to social care programs.
To ensure integrated and fair progress between different pads within the planned caste in Andhra Pradesh, the state government declared a regulation proposed by the Social Security Department.
Reservation
Within the initiative, 59 planned castes in the state were divided into three categories based on their population, backwardness and social cohesion. A percentage of booking for each of these three categories was also determined.
12 Sub-skastes in Group I, which have 1% reservation, were Bavuri; Chachati; Chandala; Dandasi; Dom (dombara, paydi, lano); Ghasi (HAVEDI, Reli Chachandi); Godagali (Godagula); Mehtar; Paky (moti, toti); Pamidi; Reli; and Sapra.
Similarly, 18 Sub-Castes in Group-II, which have 6.5% reservation, was Arundhatiya; Bindla; Chamar (power, Muchi, chamar-rudindas, chamar-roshidas); Chambhar; Dakkal (dokkalware); Dhor; Godari; Gosangi; Jaggali; Jambulu; Kolupulavandl (Pambada, Pambanda, Pambala); Madiga; Madiga dasu (Mashteen); Manga; Mang Garodi; Matangi; Samagara; and sindhol (chindoll).
In the group-III there are 29 sub-casits, which has 7.5% reservation and are involved in ADI predators; Anamuk; Araya Mala; Arwa Mala: Bariki; Byagara (byagari); Chalavadi; Ellamalawar (Yellamalawandl); Holya; Holya Dasari; Madasi Kuru (Madari Kuru); Mahar; Mala (Mala Ayawware); Mala Dasari, Mala Dasu; Mala Hannai; Malajang; Mala ointments; Mala Sale; Mala Sanyasi; Manne; She pushed; Samban; Yatala; Valanvan; Adi Andhra; Mashti; Mithha Ayyalvar; And Panchama (Pariah).
The 200-point schedule system would be monitored for subcategory. It would work in two cycles (each of points 1 to 100).
The government believes that the regulation will ensure fair and equal access to educational and job opportunities for all groups within the SCS, thus meeting constitutional goals and ensuring collective development.
Previously, the government established a commission for one person, headed by IAS Rajiv Ranjana Mishr’s retirement officer, which suggested subdrasification. The decree would be made in all 26 state districts.
