I met a delegation of researchers, activists and social workers from Dalit and Adivasi communities who demanded a national law dedicating a share of the Union Budget to Dalits and Adivasis.
Such a law is in place in Karnataka and Telangana, and has led to significant benefits flowing to communities. At a national level too, the UPA government had introduced the concept of "Sub-Plans" for Dalits and Adivasis. However, the Modi government has weakened this provision and has been allocating only a miniscule share of the budget to these communities.
Dalits and Adivasis have long struggled for representation. Today, we must ask - what additional steps can be taken to ensure that Dalits and Adivasis have a meaningful share in power, and a voice in governance?
We need a national law which guarantees a significant share of the budget to schemes designed, targeted, and dedicated to meet the needs of Dalit and Adivasis.
हाल ही में मेरी मुलाक़ात दलित और आदिवासी समुदायों से जुड़े रिसर्चरों, कार्यकर्ताओं और समाजसेवियों से हुई। उन्होंने मांग की कि एक राष्ट्रीय कानून बनाया जाए, जो केंद्रीय बजट का एक निश्चित हिस्सा दलितों और आदिवासियों के लिए सुनिश्चित करे।
कर्नाटक और तेलंगाना में ऐसा कानून पहले से लागू है और वहां इन समुदायों को ठोस लाभ मिला है। UPA सरकार ने राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर भी दलितों और आदिवासियों के लिए "उप-योजनाओं" (Sub-Plans) की शुरुआत की थी। लेकिन मोदी सरकार के दौरान इस प्रावधान को कमज़ोर कर दिया गया है और बजट का बहुत कम हिस्सा इन वर्गों तक पहुंच रहा है।
दलित और आदिवासी लंबे समय से हक़ और प्रतिनिधित्व की लड़ाई लड़ रहे हैं। आज हमें यह सोचने की ज़रूरत है कि उन्हें सत्ता में भागीदारी और शासन में आवाज़ देने के लिए और क्या ठोस कदम उठाए जा सकते हैं।
हमें एक ऐसे राष्ट्रीय कानून की ज़रूरत है जो दलितों और आदिवासियों को लक्षित करके और उनकी आवश्यकताओं को ध्यान में रखकर बनाई गई योजनाओं के लिए बजट में एक उचित हिस्सा सुनिश्चित करे।
India has made progress in increasing women's workforce participation over the years, supported by a decline in unpaid domestic work, but women continue to be underrepresented in leadership roles and earn significantly less than men.
