Why do scheduled caste and scheduled tribe need to be directed by the government
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) are among the most disadvantaged socio-economic groups in India. With its focus on ‘faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth’ the 12th Five Year Plan highlights that concerns of the poor, the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, minorities, differently abled and other marginalised groups must be addressed for growth to be inclusive.
The Government of India has enacted progressive legislation, programmes and schemes for the development and empowerment of the SCs and STs. The Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (FRA); The Provision of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996; Minor Forest Produce Act 2005; and the Tribal Sub-Plan Strategy are focused on the socio-economic empowerment of STs.
The Government of India also has special schemes to enable access to opportunities including scholarships for education, financial support and skill building for setting up enterprises, reservations in jobs, and special courts to address instances of atrocities and violence.
Through the Scheduled Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) and the Tribal Sub Plan (TSP), the Government of India is channelling funds from the Planning Commission for the development of SCs and STs respectively. Of the total Plan budget, as of 2001, the Government of India has earmarked 16 per cent for the development of SCs and 8 per for the development of STs, in the Union and State Budgets.
Answer:Sheduled caste(Sc) and Sheduled tribe(St) need assistance of government because they are not much educated or even not educated and they don't are financially strong. They are deprived of many things . Other classes dominate them and try to rule on them. They are treated as inferiors and are not given respect by the other social groups. And that's why they need assistance of government to sustain their life without any discrimination and difficulty.
