SC And ST

Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai also said that the central government has not enumerated caste-wise population other than SCs and STs in census since Independence.

Fundamental rights explicitly guaranteed by the Constitution are being casually eroded in the garb of religious freedom laws

The report also finds that certain states have strikingly higher levels of disparity between the percentage of SC/STs in their total population and in their prisons

He emphasised that physical infrastructure is also necessary for providing education, nutrition and health facilities to SC/ST
