Irregularities in Dalit scheme grants: DSS
Shidlaghatta, Dec 3, DHNS:
Out of the Rs 1,600 crore worth grants released by the Central
government for the welfare of Dalits in the country, 90 per cent is
misappropriated, alleged Melur Manjunath, district unit convener of
Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samiti.
Addressing a press conference, he said all parties are busy making
money, than working for welfare of Dalits. Dalit associations
mushrooming all over the State have become a major problem.
On 'made snana'
"Made snana ritual, which involves devotees rolling over the food left
over by Brahmins promoted in Kukke Subramanya temple in Dakshina
Kannada and Chikkaballapur districts is a pathetic ritual. It
deteriorates human values. Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samiti not only
opposes this ritual strongly but will stage protest if such incidents
are repeated," he warned.
Total sanitation in Dalit colonies is still a distant dream. In
records, all the facilities have been provided to the Dalit colonies.
But in reality, none of these projects and facilities in record exist
in reality. All the grants have been misused by the officers
concerned.
Some of the associations forcibly collecting money at government
offices, in the name of Dalit welfare, is a major reason behind poor
condition of Dalits as the grants or money does not reach the
eligible.
Irregularities in the Department foSocial Welfare is on rise.
Substandard materials are used for hostel construction near
Hanumanthapur gate. So the building may fall even before inauguration.
Hostel contracts are also taken up by the Dalit leaders. There are
complaints that in these hostels children are deprived of quality
food.
