The Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Castes (Sub-Classification) Act, 2025
The Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Castes (Sub-Classification) Act, 2025 provides a framework for sub-classifying Scheduled Castes to ensure equitable distribution of reservation benefits in state public employment and educational admissions. It categorizes different Scheduled Caste communities into specific sub-groups to allocate reservation percentages fairly, extending these rules to backlog vacancies as well. The law applies to state government posts and state-controlled educational institutions within Andhra Pradesh, explicitly excluding Central Government services and institutions. By preventing dominant groups from monopolizing quota benefits, the Act aims to advance social justice and equal opportunity for marginalized communities.
