In March 2013, the state assembly had passed a resolution asking the Centre to include 17 castes of the state into the list of Scheduled Castes (SC) category.
In the resolution presented by social welfare minister Avdhesh Prasad and passed by the voice vote in the House, it was stated that in a detailed study by UP SC/ST Research and Training Institute, these 17 castes have been found “deserving” to be included in the SC list.
Earlier, the Mulayam Singh Yadav government, too, had passed the same resolution in February 2004 and had sent the recommendation to the Central government for inclusion of these castes in SC list in December 2004.
