AIMIM Demands BC E Caste Survey
AIMIM Seeks Separate Caste Survey for BC-E in Telangana
Introduction: AIMIM’s Call for Inclusive Representation
Hyderabad: On Wednesday, October 16, a delegation from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) approached the Backward Class (BC) Commission in Telangana, urging the commission to conduct a separate caste survey for the BC-E category. This request comes alongside a proposed survey of 14 sub-classes that fall under the BC-E category and are eligible for a 4 percent reservation in the state. The AIMIM emphasized the importance of including these sub-classes in the comprehensive survey to ensure fair representation.
Government’s Initiative for a Statewide Survey
The Government of Telangana issued directives on October 11 for a comprehensive, door-to-door survey. This statewide survey aims to gather data on socio-economic, educational, employment, political, and caste aspects across Telangana. The Telangana Backward Classes Commission has been tasked with overseeing the survey, working in coordination with the planning department. The focus of this survey is to accurately determine the percentage of reservations for Backward Classes, including the BC-E category, in local bodies.
Focus on BC-E and the Need for a Separate Survey
The AIMIM has specifically urged that a separate caste survey for the BC-E category in Telangana be conducted alongside the general survey. According to AIMIM, this focused approach would allow for a more precise understanding of the BC-E community’s needs and challenges. The survey is aimed at accurately reflecting the socio-economic conditions of the BC-E category, which could influence future policy decisions regarding reservations and welfare schemes.
Planned Public Hearings and Stakeholder Consultations
To ensure a thorough and inclusive process, the Telangana Backward Classes Commission plans to conduct public hearings across the state. The hearings will begin from October 24 and will be held in the ten old district headquarters. During these sessions, the commission aims to gather feedback and insights from local communities and stakeholders. A formal notification will be released soon to inform the public about these hearings.
In addition to the public hearings, the commission will consult with various intellectuals and representatives from the Backward Classes, including those from the BC-E category in Telangana. These consultations are intended to incorporate diverse perspectives and to ensure that the survey reflects the real needs of the community.
List of Sub-Classes Proposed for the Survey
AIMIM has highlighted the need to include 14 specific sub-classes within the BC-E category in Telangana for a detailed survey. These sub-classes include:
- Achchukattalavandlu, Singali, Singamvallu, Achchupanivallu, Achchukattuvaru, Achukatlavandlu

Importance of the Survey for Reservation Allocation
The data collected through this survey will play a crucial role in shaping the reservation policies for the Backward Classes in Telangana. The Telangana Backward Classes Commission will use the findings to determine the appropriate percentage of reservations to be allocated to various BC communities in local government bodies. This step is seen as a move towards ensuring that all sub-categories, including the BC-E category in Telangana, receive fair consideration in state policies.
Conclusion: A Step Towards Fair Representation
The AIMIM’s call for a separate caste survey for the BC-E category in Telangana highlights the importance of understanding the diverse needs of different communities. With the government’s commitment to conducting a comprehensive survey, there is hope that the data will lead to more effective policy decisions. The involvement of various stakeholders and public hearings further emphasizes the inclusive approach being taken in this crucial process.
