  2. Medari caste is nomadic in nature and their main raw material is Bamboos which r avble in forest areas. Their financial status is awfully bad. Since the caste is in BC A Caste No 14 they couldn't get the benefits though their caste is included in ST Category in Karnataka. I urge upon the PM to include this caste in Andhra/Telangana in ST Category immediately to get social n economic benefits thru which they can improve their status.

  4. Has any leader of our caste is focussing on ST STATUS by urging upon the YSRCP nd YSJagan. If our efforts are strong, Jagan govt.will definitely take a positive action on our legitimate nd rightful demand.
