Quick decision sought
October 21st, 2010
DC Correspondent
Hyderabad, Oct. 20: The National Commission for Scheduled Castes feels
the need for a quicker decision on the controversial categorisation of
Scheduled Castes in the state.
Maintaining that categorisation was a serious issue, the commission
chairman and Member of Parliament, Dr P. L. Punia, said delaying the
decision affects the overall interests of the SCs. He, however,
refused to reveal whether he was for or against categorisation.
"There are two other members in the commission and we will take a view
and communicate it to the Centre," he said.
He was in favour of reservations in the private sector also because,
he said, the private sector depends on the government, national banks
and state-owned financial institutions for its survival and thus
cannot insulate itself from reservations.
Dr Punia said there were large deficiencies in the state implementing
the sub-plan in the budget for SCs. The expenditure under sub-plan of
9.53 per cent is very little. There are also complaints of SC sub-plan
funds being diverted for other projects and expenditure on
recreational facilities being shown under the sub-plan. He said the
Chief Minister had assured him that the sub-plan for projects that
exclusively benefit SCs would be strictly implemented.
