RAJANNA-SIRCILLA, FEBRUARY 04, 2026: The Telangana Social Welfare Residential Degree College for Women in Shatrajpalli of Vemulawada mandal celebrated the ‘Telangana Social Justice Day on Wednesday to commemorate the passage of the caste census and SC sub-classification reports in the Legislative Assembly on this day in 2025.
On this occasion, intending to instil the values of social equality, justice, and inclusiveness among students, both students and faculty members together took a Social Justice Pledge. College Principal K Lavanya and other faculty members were also present.
It may be mentioned here that the state government issued orders stating that February 4 be observed annually as “Telangana Social Justice Day” to commemorate the passage of the caste census and SC sub-classification reports in the Legislative Assembly on this day. In recognition of the government’s commitment to social justice, equity, and inclusive development, February 4 will be marked each year with official ceremonies, awareness programmes, lectures, and cultural events.
It may be recalled that the Congress-led government in Telangana has promised to conduct a caste census and undertake SC sub-classification if it is voted to power in Telangana during the 2023 Assembly polls. Accordingly, the state government initiated steps to conduct a caste census and undertake SC sub-categorisation. It conducted a caste census between November and December 2024 and appointed a one-man judicial commission in November 2024 to submit a report on SC sub-classification. The government received caste census and SC sub-categorisation reports on February 2 and 3 this year. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy immediately convened a special session of the Legislative Assembly on February 4 and tabled the resolutions in the House seeking approval for both reports. The House approved both resolutions by a voice vote on February 4.
