PANAJI: The Chief Minister, Mr Digambar Kamat, on Friday, said that
his government has fulfilled the demand of the Scheduled Tribes and
Scheduled Caste communities by setting up the Scheduled Caste and
Scheduled Tribes Commission for the state for settling the issues
relating to these communities.
Addressing reporters at the state secretariat after swearing in Mr
Pandurang Madkaikar, the Cumbharjua MLA as chairman of the one man
commission, Mr Kamat said that the government has provided enough
funds for the welfare of the SC/ST communities and funds to the tune
of nearly ` 10 crore have already been earmarked for implementation of
various schemes for SC/ST communities.
He also said that the Tribal Welfare Department has already been set
up by the government so also a corporation.
He further said that more funds would be provided for the welfare of
the SC/ST communities, even as he added that Mr Madkaikar has been
told to identify the new premises to house the Commission and other
offices.
Later in a brief statement to the press, Mr Madkaikar said that the
government by setting up the commission has fulfilled the long pending
demand of the ST communities.
He also said that most of the issues of the ST communities have been
addressed by the government, even as he expressed hope that the
remaining issues would also be settled before the next Assembly
elections.
He further said that the single member commission was a quasi-judicial
authority with powers of a civil court and would deal with all issues
pertaining to the ST communities, including reservation for them and
implementation of various schemes for their welfare.
