BANGALORE: Funds meant for welfare schemes of the scheduled castes and
tribes (SC/STs) remain unutilised in gram panchayats and CMCs,
disclosed Minister for Social Welfare A Narayanaswamy."I fail to
understand how the officers can afford to be so casual in spending
money when it has been earmarked for the welfare of the SC/STs, which
is rampant in CMCs and gram panchayats. So, I have decided to direct
the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement to probe the matter and
submit a report in two months," Narayanaswamy told the media on
Thursday. He refused to admit that the elected representatives too
were responsible if the funds meant for SC/STs remain unutilised. "It
is the direct responsibility of the officers, as elected
representatives have their limitations. Ultimately, it is the
bureaucracy which should prepare the action plan whereas ministers
only draw the policy," the minister asserted. He said he has already
completed one round of discussion with the officials of the DCRE and a
GO will be issued shortly.
