He wanted it to fill posts lying vacant with various departments in ITDA-Utnoor. Uyike Sanjeev, vice president of the organisation, sought the government to maintain status of GO MS No 3, enabling tribal youngsters to get jobs reserved to tribals.

He urged the government to remove Lambadas from the list of STs. He wanted it to abrogate GO 317. The leaders requested the forest department to stop digging trenches around agriculture fields and to issue land titles to Podu farmers.
