Government Considers ST Status for Nonia Community

The Indian government is thinking about giving the Nonia community, who are considered very backward, the status of a Scheduled Tribe.

This decision would be based on a survey that looks at how poor the community is.

This announcement was made during an event honoring a freedom fighter named Buddhu Nonia.

A caste census will be conducted, and the government aims to ensure fair representation for the community once the census data is available.

The government is working to help backward classes.
