Andhra Pradesh Assembly has enacted the historic legislation providing statutory status for implementation of the sub-plans for Scheduled Casts and Scheduled Tribes.

The Andhra Pradesh assembly has passed a bill late last evening after a three day debate .

The legislation will ensure fund allocation proportionate to the SC and ST population and is expected to prevent diversion of sub-plan funds for other activities and not allowing them unspent.

With this, Andhra Pradesh has become the first state in the country to enacting such legislation.
