Karnataka: Give three percent reservation to nomadic tribes, KSNTM panel urges
Bengaluru: A delegation of the Karnataka State Nomadic and Tribals Mahasabha (KSNTM), led by its president B.L. Hanumanthappa, has urged Justice H. Nagmohan Das, who heads the commission to review the implementation of internal reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs).
The delegation requested the commission to consider the recommendations made by the Balkrishna Renuke Commission (2004) for nomadic tribes and the Bhiku Ramji Idate Commission that was formed in 2014, to compile a catalogue of denotified, nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, as reported by Deccan Herald on Friday.
Hanumanthappa stressed that the KSNTM has demanded the Justice Nagmohan Das Commission to allocate at least 3 percent reservation specifically for nomadic tribes in the state.
He told DH that these commissions were formed by the union government to know about the status of nomadic tribes. “They have made elaborate recommendations,” he added.
