Raja Mahendranath, president of SC/ST Chamber of Commerce, recommended the establishment of a special MSME park for SCs/STs in Kurnool district and sought 100% reimbursement for SC/ST urban entrepreneurs’ development charges.

Mr. Mahendranath further proposed setting up incubation centres and enhancing electricity subsidies for SC/ST entrepreneurs. Members of the Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI) proposed the implementation of a State-level procurement policy for SC/ST institutions.
