Udupi: Eradicate disparity and untouchability- Bhat
Udupi April 6: The district administration in association with Udupi
Zilla Panchayat, Udupi Municipality and District Social Welfare
Department observed the 103rd birth anniversary of Babu Jagjivan Ramat
the Ambedkar Bhavan here on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Raghupathy Bhat said that the government
should take up measures to eradicate disparity and untouchablity in
the society. However the current improved status of SC and ST
community people is pleasing owing to the increased awareness among
them. As many as Rs 8.80 crore has been earmarked for the development
of Koraga community in the current budget, he said and demanded that
the amount of Rs 50,000 allotted for the construction of houses to
Koraga families should be raised to Rs 1 lakh.
He said plans have been chalked out to construct as many as 150 houses
in CMC limits and 400 houses in the rural areas for Koragas. Health
insurance schemes have been adopted by the Municipality to offer
health services to Koragas. Nearly 600 families come under the
provisions of the scheme. Each family is entitled to a sum of Rs
30,000, Bhat said. CMC President Dinaker Shetty, District Women and
Children Welfare Department Officer Suman and others were present.
