IndiaThe Prajapati Community Service Foundation (PCSF), an NGO representing the Prajapati community, has called on political parties to nominate candidates from their community in proportion to their population ahead of upcoming Assembly elections in five states in early 2027. The foundation, established in 2024, provides financial aid to students from economically disadvantaged Prajapati families, who are recognized as an Other Backward Class (OBC) in several states and as a Scheduled Caste (SC) in parts of Madhya Pradesh. PCSF leader Raajesh Prajapati stated that the organization has already received a response from the Congress and plans to engage with other parties like the BJP, Samajwadi Party, AAP, BSP, and INLD. They have organized training sessions for community delegates and aim to field at least 20 candidates in state elections and five in the 2029 Lok Sabha polls to increase representation in policymaking.
