Mayawati launches financial aid scheme for 3.1 million BPL families

Virendra Singh Rawat | 2010-11-02 01:10:00

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati today launched a financial aid
scheme for 3.1 million below poverty line (BPL) families in the state.

The scheme titled â€˜Uttar Pradesh Mukhyamantri Mahamaya Garib Arthik
Madad Yojnaâ€™ would provide Rs 300 per month to the identified BPL
families.

The financial aid would be credited to the bank account of the female
head of the BPL families every six months. This way, the scheme would
entail an additional annual burden of Rs 1,116 crore to the exchequer
in the first phase.

To mark the beginning of the scheme, Mayawati handed over bank pass
books and certificates to 10 beneficiaries at a function here. Fifty
per cent of the beneficiaries under the scheme belong to the SC/ST
categories.

She said the scheme included those BPL units, which had not been
covered under other pro-poor schemes. It would cover 15 million people
belonging to 3.1 million BPL families.

In the next phase, the remaining BPL families would be covered under
the scheme, which was announced on January 15 this year during
Mayawatiâ€™s birthday celebrations.

She said the Centre had identified only 10.07 million BPL families in
UP for the purpose of providing food grain at cheaper prices, however,
the number of BPL families was greater.

[ZESTCaste] Reservation in promotion: Contempt notice to Rajasthan chief secretary

Reservation in promotion: Contempt notice to Rajasthan chief secretary
Abhinav Sharma, TNN, Nov 1, 2010, 07.16pm IST

JAIPUR: Rajasthan High Court on Monday issued show cause notices to
chief secretary and secretary, department of personal, for allegedly
advancing consequential seniority to SC and ST candidates in as many
as 110 services of the state including RAS despite the pendency of
litigation in the court.

The order came on a contempt petition filed by All India Equity Forum.
"It was alleged by the petitioner that a division bench of high court
has quashed two notifications by which the various service rules
including those of RAS were modified to adjust the candidates of SC
and ST in promotions over and above the available seniors candidates
from general category. In an appeal by the state government, the
Supreme court has heard the matter and reserved the final judgment on
August 4, this year but still the government has issued promotion
lists in various departments without waiting for the outcome of the
orders of court, which amounts to contempt of the court," said Shobit
Tiwari, counsel for the petitioner.

It was contented by the petitioner forum that since the order of the
high court is still operational and there is no authority with the
government to have issued promotion lists in various departments till
the issue has been finally settled by the apex court, the lists so
issued are devoid of legal sanctity and undermine the authority of
justice. It is noteworthy that the high court in February this year
while dealing with as many as 18 writ petitions has held that, "the
state government could not have amended the various service rules on
the basis of 85th constitutional amendment to provide consequential
seniority to SC and ST RAS officers as the same was enabling provision
particularly without conducting any survey to ascertain backwardness
of the candidates, inadequate representation of his cast in service,
and that such promotion of his would not cause any effect on the
overall efficiency of the general administration."

Taking congnizance of the fact that the special leave petition filed
by the state itself is pending for final orders by the Supreme Court,
and no survey as held by high court previously has still been
conducted by the state government, the court issued notices to chief
secretary and secretary, DOP to respond to the contempt petition
within a period of ten days.

[ZESTCaste] Jats adamant on quota, to assemble in Delhi Nov 25

Jats adamant on quota, to assemble in Delhi Nov 25

Tuesday, November 02, 2010 3:27:01 PM by IANS ( Leave a comment )
Chandigarh, Nov 2 (IANS) Haryana's Jat leaders Tuesday said that they
will gather in the capital Nov 25 to give the central government the
ultimatum on their demand for other backward class (OBC) status and
job quota for the community.

Members of the Jat community are seeking reservation in government
jobs and educational institutions, as given to OBC sections.

"Both the central and state governments are delaying the issue of our
demands and they are not at all serious about them. They are only
buying time by making false promises. We have decided to converge in
New Delhi on Nov 25 to give final ultimatum to the central
government," said Yash Pal Malik, president of the All India Jat
Aarakshan Sangarsh Samiti, while addressing reporters here Tuesday.

"Thereafter, we would intensify our campaign and there is a
possibility that we would also show a small trailer to the government
on Nov 25," he added.

Earlier, Jat community members had threatened to seal the Delhi
borders Oct 3, before the start of the Commonwealth Games. They later
changed their decision.

"We had got a request from the Congress government not to interrupt
the Games. They had promised us that immediately after the Games, they
would take up our issue, but it did not happen," said Malik.

"Some members of a political party had also attacked and threatened
me. But we are not going to step back and would continue fighting till
all our demands are met," he said.

Earlier Sep 13 and 14, Hisar district of Haryana saw a widespread
violence by Jat community members on this issue. A mob went on the
rampage, targeting government and private property.

One youth was killed in police firing, and several people were injured
in clashes. Following the violence, Hisar superintendent of police
Subhash Yadav was booked and transferred from his post.

[ZESTCaste] No SC contestant for 5 yrs, village gets Thakur as head

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/No-SC-contestant-for-5-yrs--village-gets-Thakur-as-head/704669

No SC contestant for 5 yrs, village gets Thakur as head

Kautilya Singh Posted online: Sat Oct 30 2010, 01:08 hrs
Kanpur : After five years, Malasa, a Thakur-dominated village in UP's
Ramabai Nagar district, has finally got a gram pradhan — a Thakur.
Since August 2005, when the state reserved the pradhan's post for
Scheduled Caste — the village had been without a panchayat or a
pradhan. No one contested the election in 2005 and the subsequent
by-elections that were rescheduled eight times.

This time, the pradhan's seat was dereserved and as many as eight
candidates, all Thakurs, filed nominations.

In the results declared on Thursday, Ashish Singh defeated Raghuveer
Singh by a margin of 510 votes.

Ashish Singh said: "If no Dalit contested in the last five years, it
was no fault of other villagers. On several occasions, senior Thakur
residents had asked Dalits to file nomination, but they could not
muster the courage."
