ACHIEVEMENTS

Department for the Welfare of SC/ST/OBC/Minorities Achievement

1. Delhi has the distinction of having a separate department for the Welfare of the SC/ST/OBC/Min. headed by a senior officer. The department facilities accelerated development of the SC/ST/OBC/Min. 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.

The major schemes being implemented by the department during XI five Year Plans are:-

• Improvement works in SC /ST Basties.
• Merit Scholarship of SC/ST/OBC/Min. students studying in Class VI to XII, College & Professional Institutions.
• Free Supply of Stationery to SC/ST/OBC/Min. students.

• For the welfare of the SC /ST people, apart from various schemes of different departments which have provision for preferential treatment, we are implementing a special scheme for improvement of SC /ST Bastis. Guidelines of the scheme have been liberalized to benefit the maximum possible people under the scheme by providing infrastructure development works like kharanjas, road and side drains and construction/ repair of Chaupals/Barat Ghar are being carried out in the areas having 33% and above SC population. Earlier, these works were being carried in the Basties having more than 51% SC population.
• The Government has enhanced the income ceiling limit from Rs.48000/- per annum to Rs. 1.00 lakh per annum under various educational schemes. The condition of producing income certificate from SDM has also been dispensed with. Insteed, the parents or guardian of their own would furnish an affidavit in respect of their annual income. Due to enhanced annual income of parents, lakhs of students belonging to SC/ST/OBC/Min. communities would be benefited in getting scholarship under different scholarship schemes.
• Under the scheme of “Merit Scholarship to SC/ST/OBC/Min. students studying in Class VI to XII and College & Professional Institutions”, scholarship is being provided to SC/ST/OBC/Min. students scoring 55% and above marks in the previous examination at the school level and at college level 60% and above marks are required.
• Under the scheme of “Free Supply of Stationery to SC/ST/OBC/Min. students” an amount of Rs.450/- per annum to Rs.750/- per annum is provided to the poor SC/ST/OBC/Min. students studying in Class VI to XII for purchase of stationery.
• The Delhi SC /ST Financial and Development Corporation was set in 1983 to formulate and implement income generating schemes for all around development of the SC /STs. For the purpose, the Corporation is implementing several self employment and training schemes and has also allotted worksheds to the people.
• Since inception, the Corporation has been providing loan to only SC/ST category. However, with the passage of the time the Corporation has been assigned the additional task to provide financial aid and assistance to OBC, Minority, Safai Karamcharies and Handicapped category. Apart from loan facility, the Corporation is also providing the
  Vocational training to the students of target group through AliC and NSIC. Therefore, the DSCFDC is committed for the welfare of downtrodden among the target group i.e. SC/ST/OBC/Min., Handicapped/ Safai KAramcharis.
  The details of activities being undertaken by DSFDC are as under:-
  Composite Loan upto Rs/ 100,000/- for small trades.
  Loan scheme from Apex Corporations, Govt. of India upto an amount of Rs.5.00 lakhs.
  For purchase of commercial vehicles.
  For purchase of three wheelers.
  Arranging vocational training.
  Allotment of work sheds.
  Allotment of mobile P.C.O.
• The earlier condition of arranging 3 government servants as surety for getting financial assistance from DSFDC for starting of their own small trades has been dispensed with under the Composite Loan Scheme. This will mitigate to great extent the difficulties faced by such communities for arranging them.
• Further, DSFDC also launched the mobile PCO/Mobile Booth mounted on tricycle for physically challenged persons for their economic development. The total cost of tricycle with STO/PCO equipment is about Rs.20,000/-.
