Various Ministers participate in the State-level birth anniversary celebrations of Sardar Gouthu Latchanna, organised by the BC Welfare Corporation in Vijayawada, and recall his contribution to the freedom movement and struggle for the rights of Backward Classes and other sections of society
Ministers of the coalition government, S. Savitha, Anagani Satya Prasad, Kollu Ravindra, Kolusu Parthasarathi, and K. Atchannaidu, have drawn inspiration from the ideals of freedom fighter and BC leader Sardar Gouthu Latchanna, as they announced welfare and development programs for BC communities. At the State-level birth anniversary celebrations of Sardar Gouthu Latchanna, they highlighted his contributions to the freedom movement and his lifelong fight for the rights of BCs, farmers, and workers.
Latchanna, born in a poor Gouda family in 1909, joined the struggle against British rule at the age of 21, facing imprisonment for his efforts. Following his ideals, the government has prioritized the educational and economic advancement of BC communities, expanding residential educational institutions and providing 10% reservation in liquor outlets for Geetha community members.
The ministers also discussed plans to strengthen BC representation in local bodies and introduce a BC Protection Act. The celebration included cash awards for Gouda community students who excelled in exams, presented by the Anagani Satya Prasad Charitable Trust.
