Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan has sought to politically empower the Backward Classes and improve their self-worth by establishing 56 BC Corporations something that was hitherto never done before. Many national level BC leaders also hailed this as a revolutionary decision. The AP Government for the welfare of BCs and women from the Kapu, Balija, Ontari and Telaga communities, has come out with various schemes like the YSR Kapu Nestham and Jagananna Chedodu.

The formation of BC corporations was another measure to ensure the development of the 139 BC castes to focus on their all-round development.

For empowering the women in the BC communities 50 percent reservations have been provided for them. Nearly 29 of the total 56 corporations are led by women as chairpersons. In addition to this, the state government has also appointed 12 directors representing all 13 districts to each corporation.
