Hyderabad, February 3, 2024: Senior Congress leader Mohammed Ali Shabbir officially began his role as Advisor to the Telangana Government for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes, and Minority Welfare today.
Following a special prayer ceremony held at the BR Ambedkar Secretariat office, Shabbir formally assumed his duties. State Minister for Revenue, Information and Civic Relations Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, State Minister for Culture Joupli Krishna Rao, and BC Commission Chairman Krishna Mohan Rao were present to offer their congratulations.
Shabbir also received well wishes and introductions from other dignitaries, including government advisor Malurvi, GAD Secretary Raghunandan Rao, Minority Welfare Department Secretary Umar Jalil, Residential Educational Institutions Secretary Naveen Nicholas, and several public representatives.
Shabbir’s appointment comes after extensive deliberations within the state government. He brings with him years of experience in public service, having previously served as a minister in undivided Andhra Pradesh and holding leadership positions in the Congress party.
His new role as advisor will see him overseeing crucial policies and programs aimed at the upliftment and welfare of marginalized communities in Telangana. His experience and dedication are expected to be valuable assets in driving positive change for these groups.
The official statement from the government did not mention the duration of Shabbir’s appointment or any specific tasks he will be undertaking initially. However, his extensive experience suggests he will likely focus on issues such as education, employment, and social justice for SC, ST, BC, and minority communities in the state.
This news is likely to be welcomed by members of these communities who hope that Shabbir’s appointment will lead to improved access to resources and opportunities. It will also be interesting to see how Shabbir approaches his new role and the impact he has on the lives of marginalized communities in Telangana.
