Just 0.3% among the Vaddera community, traditionally engaged in stone crushing and 1.9% of the Kummari community, traditional pot makers, have completed their post graduation, reflecting that the years of government support have not percolated to the most backward communities among the Backward Classes. These figures were reflected in the report on the life and livelihoods of these two communities prepared by the Centre for Economic and Social Studies (CESS). The study was initiated with the support of Marri Rajshekhar Reddy, Secretary of Marri Lakshman Reddy Institute of Technology (MLRIT). The study revealed some startling statistics with regard to their education and lack of support from the government on their livelihoods. The study was submitted to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao by the State Planning Board vice-chairman B. Vinod Kumar and TRS Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituency incharge Marri Rajashekhar Reddy.More Related News
