to include Medara community in ST list
New Delhi: 27 December 2011
A Constitution Order Amendment Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha to include Medara community in the list of Scheduled Tribes in Karnataka. The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Second Amendment) Bill, 2011 was introduced by Tribal Affairs Minister V Kishore Chandra Deo on 27th Dec 2011, to fulfill the long standing demand for considering the grant of Scheduled Tribes Status to the 'Medara' community in Karnataka.
At present there are 50 communities appearing in the list of Scheduled Tribes in Karnataka. The Tribal Ministry proposal, made on the recommendation of the Karnataka government, seeks to amend the entry at serial no. 37 occurring under Part VI, relating to Karnataka of the Schedule to the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950 and insert the 'Medara' community after the community 'Meda' Scheduled Tribes of Karnataka.
The amendments will entail additional recurring and non- recurring expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India on account of benefits likely to be provided to the persons belonging to the Medara community out of the continuing schemes meant for the welfare of the scheduled tribes.
Detailed copy of the bill can be had from Deekonda NarsingaRao (09849552877), AP-Hyderabad on email: medaramail@gmail.com
