From Our Special Correspondent
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore
Bangalore, Oct 29: Karnataka has taken upon itself the task to
ascertain whether the people belonging to Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes are uniformly benefitted by the facilities of
reservation for education and employment provided under Articles 15
and 16 of the Constitution.
A judicial inquiry commission headed by retired High Court judge, Mr
Justice A J Sadashiva, has been entrusted with the responsibility of
finding out whether all the people belonging to SC/ST communities are
uniformly benefitted and whether some sections are denied of the
benefits and also to suggest ways and means for redressing the
situation.
As many as 101 sub-castes or tribes have been included in the
Scheduled Tribes category in the State under Article 341 of the
Constitution.
In view of the fact that reliable and authentic data pertaining to
social, economical, educational, political and cultural status of all
families belonging to different sub-castes or tribes among the
Scheduled Tribes was not readily available, the A J Sadashiva
Commission is conducting two specific surveys.
Under the surveys, data pertaining to persons employed in the Central
and State Governments as well as Central and State Government
undertakings and also to ascertain the economic, social, political and
cultural status of all ST communities.
The Sadashiva Commission has already completed the data entry process
pertaining to 24 lakh ST families, which has been entrusted to the
State-owned KEONICS Ltd. The State undertaking has also prepared the
necessary software for compiling and analyzing the data. The final
report will be prepared after studying the data with facts and
figures, the Commission has said in a press release.
As part of the study, the Commission has appealed to social
scientists, prominent leaders and organisations and those involved in
the work of upliftment of the SC/ST people to give their views and
suggestions to the Commission at its office on 21st Floor,
Visveshwaraya Podium Block, Dr B R Ambedkar Veedhi, Bangalore, by
