Speaking on the occasion, the District president of KVPS Muttamala Prasad said that without a proper set of rules by the government for SC and ST Sub-plan Act, which was achieved after several movements, the funds which must be invested for the development of dalits are being diverted for other purposes.He alleged that the government is showing discrimination towards dalits without allotting sufficient amount of funds as par the ratio of the dalit population present in the State and the Country.
“As many as 17, 000 unemployed youth and women applied for loans under self-employment to the SC-Corporation last year out of which about 3,709 members received sanctioning letters, from which only 700 members were issued with cheques with subsidy.
