The Andhra Pradesh (50 Percent Reservation to BCs, SCs, STs and Minorities in all the Nominated Posts) Act, 2019
The Andhra Pradesh (50 Percent Reservation to BCs, SCs, STs and Minorities in all the Nominated Posts) Act, 2019 mandates a fifty percent reservation for marginalized communities in all nominated administrative positions across the state. It applies to government appointments in state boards, corporations, committees, and trusts, specifically benefiting Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Minority groups. By legally reserving half of all non-elected public posts for these underrepresented populations, the legislation ensures equitable social representation, political empowerment, and centralized administrative oversight through the General Administration Department, overriding conflicting prior laws to guarantee compliance.
