The All India Banjara Seva Sangh (AIBSS), led by K G Vanzara, called for uniform Scheduled Tribe status for the Banjara community during World Banjara Day celebrations in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Vanzara highlighted the inconsistent classifications of the Banjara people across different states, where they are sometimes categorized as Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, or Nomadic Tribes. The community, which numbers around 20 lakh in Gujarat, submitted a memorandum to both the Central and Gujarat governments outlining their demands. Key issues discussed included the need for 100 square metre residential plots for the homeless, issuance of caste certificates, and protection against land grabbing. Vanzara emphasized the community's traditional occupation of sand mining and called for prioritizing their rights in lease allocations. The event also focused on social reforms, including reducing ritual expenses and promoting community welfare. A procession marked the celebrations, with notable community members being recognized for their contributions.
