Department for the Welfare of SC/ST/OBC Achievements

1. Delhi has the distinction of having a separate department for the Welfare of the SC/ST/OBC headed by a senior officer. The department facilities accelerated development of the SC/ST/OBC people and is implementing more than forty plan schemes in the field of educational, social & economic development by way of providing monitory support both as grant and loan.
2. “Delhi Safai Karamcharis Commission” has been constituted to look into the grievances of Safai Karamcharis of NCT of Delhi.
3. In another decision which has benefited lakhs of SC /ST people who have migrated to Delhi from other parts of the country, the guidelines for issue of SC /ST certificates have been liberalized. Earlier, only the people who migrated prior to 1951 were being issued SC/ST certificates as natives of Delhi. For others, there was a tedious process of verification from their home district, which took months. Under the new order issued on July 27, 2005 the applicants who are born in Delhi or who have studied in Delhi or who have resided in Delhi for the last 5 years will be issued the caste certificates without such verification.
4. Until recently, the benefit of reservation in jobs in Delhi was available only to the native of Delhi and not to the migrated SC/ST people. An order has been issued on June 30, 2005 making all the SC /ST candidates, irrespective of their nativity, eligible for the jobs under the Government of NCT of Delhi. Over the years, thousands of SC /ST people will benefit from this decision.
