Seventeenth Loksabha > Title: Regarding inclusion of Gangamath and its synonymous caste which is known as Koli in the ST list of Karnataka.

DR. UMESH G. JADHAV (GULBARGA):  Sir, I thank you for allowing me to speak during ‘Zero Hour’.

       Sir, I had asked Unstarred Question No. 1299 from the Minister of Tribal Affairs regarding status of inclusion of Gangamath and its synonymous caste which is also known as Koli in the ST list.   I have received the reply but it is partially satisfactory.  The reply is that the matter regarding inclusion of Koli samaj  in the ST list is under consideration.  It is a long pending request.  I would request that they should be included immediately. This community is educationally, socially, and economically very backward.
