The Telangana government issued orders for a 10 per cent reservation for Schedule Tribes (ST) in educational institutions and government jobs.

Previously, candidates of the ST community were given six per cent reservation in the state, as stated in a report by PTI. 

Recently, while addressing a public meeting, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao said his government will soon issue orders for increasing the quota to 10 per cent for STs in government jobs and educational institutions.
