However, he brought to the notice of the BC Commission that many castes were yet to receive the fruits of development and stressed on the need for necessary corrective steps to ensure their holistic development.

The State BC Commission had a bigger role to play and must make an integrated study and suggest constructive measures to make their lives better, he observed. These Communities had a substantial population in the State and development should be accessible to them, besides integrating them into the mainstream, he said.

The former National DNT Commission Chairman discussed every issue of the nomadic communities during the meeting, which lasted for close to two hours. This was followed with a separate meeting with Principal Secretary Burra Venkatesham.
