PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS OF SHRI G.MURALIDHAR RAO, PRESIDENT OF AISC/ST RPS., ON 12the JANUARY, 2014 ON STATE LEVEL CONVENTION ON SC/ST PROBLEMS

Distinguished Gusts, Office Bearers and Members,

Jai Bheem!

            It gives me a great pleasure in welcoming you all to the State Level Convention on SC/ST Problems followed by General Body Meeting and Election of Central Office bearers and Managing Committee Members of our Society.  At the outset, as President of All India SC/ST Rights Protection Society, I welcome our Chief Guest and Guests of Honor for having accepted our invitation to attend our Convention and address our Members.

            You are aware that, ours is a Society the Listens, Cares and Delivers.  It is unique Society not only in the State of Andhra Pradesh but also in the Country.  It is working for the cause of not only Scheduled Cates and Scheduled Tribes but also other weaker sections in the Society.  It is a National level non-political social organization striving its best to ameliorate the conditions of SCs and STs for the past more than four (4) decades.  I am fortunate to associate with this Society in the capacity as President for the past more than one decade.

            As regards, the activities and financial affairs of our Society, our Secretary General Shri M.Janaiah and Secretary Finance Shri A.Shivraj are eagerly looking forward to present their reports before the Members for their approval after having discussions, if any.  As President of the Society, I would like to place my views that are of advisory nature before the Members and welcome the comments, if any on the same.

            My advice to the Members who are staunch Ambedkarities, they should prepare themselves to sacrifice certain comforts that are being enjoyed by them in order to contribute at least 1% of their income and devote their precious time to the Society that is really working on the lines of Dr.B.R.Ambedkar.

            Please remember that our beloved savior Dr.Ambedkar sqaid that he lost faith in the educated men of the Community and pinned his faith on the illiterate, therefore, keeping this in view, we educated have to be very sincere and honest in carrying out the work entrusted to us by the Society and get the good name.  He also said that do not be in a hurry to marry, as the marriage is a liability.  One should not impose it upon their children unless they are financially able to meet the liabilities arising from marriage.  Those who will marry will have to keep in mind that to have too many children is a Crime.  The paternal duty lies in giving each child a better start than it parents had. It is a fact that man must eat to live and should live and work for the well being of Society.  Ambedkar said that Education was a sword and being a double-edged weapon was dangerous to wield. Am educated man without character and humility was more dangerous than beast.  If his education was detrimental to the welfare of the poor he remarked, the educated man was a curse to Society.  Fie upon such an educated MAN character is more important he emphasized than education.

            Dear Members, kindly go through the NOTE attached to my Report listing out the issues that are to be taken up by the Society in the near further, in order to get certain benefits to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections in the Country, hence I request all of you to come forward to join the silent agitation to be announced.  Please remember, no political party in the present juncture is ready to extend their helping hand to us in getting the above issues granted by the Govts., therefore, there is every need to stand our own and fight.  You know, it is everybody’s bounden duty to extend their helping hand by sparing their precious time and money otherwise, it is highly impossible for the Society to fight out along without your support, therefore, it is my earnest appeal to you to be very vigilant and help us to try our level best to protect our reservations as enshrined in the Constitution of India and join us to fight for genuine demands.

            It is a fact that, for the past more than 60 years, we have been enjoying the fruits of reservations, without putting any effort and further we don’t try ourselves all these years either for improvement in the existing facilities or tried to add some extra facilities, only because we have become very lethargic and not taking any interest.  If this perpetuate in future, a day will come where Manuwadis put an end to these reservations.  For our own interest, I believe that all my members will heed to my advice and accordingly support the Society to go ahead with the action plan as and when decided.

            My thanks to the Members those who are extending their helping hand all these years and supporting the Society for doing its best to do some good in the interest of its Members and other needy.

            My special thanks to S/Shri M.Upender, R.B.Devanand, Murthy, M.Janaiah, Jaipal Singh, D.Nagaiah, M.R.Rajender Kumar, Md.Yousuf, R.SArinivas Rao, D.Vasakudeva Reddy, M.Ravi Kanth, M.Devanand, Smt.A.Sulochana Devi, J.Sukrender, M.Nagesh, A.Shivraj and Members of Adilabad District Branct specially Smt.T.Susheela, Linagala Rajasammaiah, K.Vithobaq and M.Rajaram for having shared the burden of the Convention and paved the way for bringing the Souvenir in a desired way on time.

While concluding my address, I request all my Members to conduct the proceedings of today’s Meet in a peaceful way.

Yours in Dr.Ambedkar Mission

G.Muralihar Rao, President.
