Musheerabad: BC Association President R Krishnaiah expressed his concern over meagre allocation in the central Budget introduced in the Parliament on Friday. He termed the allocation of Rs 1,050 crore for 70 crore BCs as meagre and demanded at least Rs 1 lakh crore for BC welfare.
Krishnaiah said that not even a single scheme was announced for the educational, employment, financial and political development of the BCs. He said that Kasturirangan Commission has recommended the establishment of 8,000 BC hostels and to provide free education, but the budget did not allocate funds to support the initiative, he said.
He also expressed his displeasure for not providing any details on employment generation in government departments, public sector companies and railways. He demanded the government to introduce BC sub-plan with Rs 50 crore funds for providing employment opportunities to BCs.
