Classify SCs into groups based on socio-economic conditions: MRPS Earlier the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) submitted a representation to Telangana Chief Minister  Revanth Reddy, urging immediate steps for the categorization of Scheduled Castes (SC) to ensure social justice.

MRPS President Manda Krishna Madiga emphasized the necessity of classifying SCs into different groups (Group 1, 2, 3, and 4) based on their socio-economic conditions, as seen in other states.

The organization also stressed the need for an equitable distribution of SC reservation benefits across all sectors. MRPS stressed on its commitment to fighting for a fair and just reservation system that benefits all sections of the Scheduled Castes.
