SC&ST DALITS MEMORANDUM
Manifesto of the Dalits
with Specific Demands
Who Needs Our Support & Votes
*Activists of DalitIndia
I.
PLANNING AND BUDGET
1.
Special SC&ST
Planning Development and Co-ordination Commission, must be created
immediately. If the same is not possible
at the present juncture, Planning
Commission should have a Strong Component of SCs&STs. The SC&ST
Dalits in different parts of the Country be
encouraged to Plan for their own Community Development
2.
Special SC&ST
Economic Programmes and Plans must be introduced, and they must be Reviewed and
Restructured regularly, to ensure that they really reach the target groups
3.
Budgets should be
prepared, only after Consultations with SC&ST Leaders and Associations. SC&ST Dalits,
being 260 million Plus today, can no more be neglected – not any further. The Consultations must be similar, if not
exactly like those that the Finance Ministers do have these days, to consult
big businesses and industrialists before finalising their Budgets. That, though the FMs
and their Govts win their Elections and come to
Power, with the Votes of millions and millions of poor SC&ST Dalits, and not that of the Business Houses and
Industrialists
4.
There should be a
professional SC&ST Adviser to the Govt, and Consultants on SC&ST Issues
in all Departments, to evolve Plans Programmes and Schemes of the Ministry/ Department in tune with, and to include the needs and interests of SCs&STs. They must be drawn from outside the IAS and
other non-professional bureaucratic lobby, which had all along betrayed the
People of the Country, particularly SC&ST Dalits. Adequate Number of SC&ST Dalit Professionals must be trained appropriately as
Experts in SC&ST Dalits’ Development to meet the
needs of Developing 260 million Plus poor helpless directionless assetless real leaderless SCs&STs
in the Country
II.
PUBLIC SECTOR
UNDERTAKINGS
5.
All CMDs, Managing Directors, and full-time functional
Directors and Executive Directors, must be chosen from amongst only those who
had originally joined initial Service, with proper full-time Professional
Qualifications from Universities, and not those who just have got some namesake
Degrees and Certificates. All those, who
had just managed to pick-up some Knowledge or Qualifications and Degrees on the
job, being really not experts or good professionals, must be replaced immediately. Particularly, the Services of all those who
had risen from the ranks of Personal Assistants, Stenographers, Clerks, posts
of PROs and Technical Assistants, with only
matriculations or just Diplomas, who today monopolise the PSUs
because of their castes, connections, strings and manipulations, must be
dispensed with. And in their places, properly qualified SC&ST Dalits
must be employed as CMDs, MDs, EDs
etc
6.
All PSUs in the Country, must be Developed in a big way, to achieve
excellence in their respective spheres, and reach prominent Industrial and
Business heights, without any exception
7.
Every loss making PSU,
must be subjected to special Scrutiny of Parliament – taking into account,
the Views of the Workers, their Unions,
SC&ST Dalit Welfare Associations etc, to learn
lessons from the failures, the causes and reasons
8.
Loss-making PSUs, wherever necessary must be handed over to Workers’ Unions,
or any specialist Management Consultants – for Revival, Reconstruction,
Modernisation and Diversification. For, there is something sinister that, while
Private Sector Industries and Foreign Multi-National Companies are suddenly
Mushrooming, and growing into unwieldy cancerous Giants, virtually in no time,
making unbelievably huge profits, PSUs are wilting
one after the other, only to bloom again in the hands of others, after
their Privatisation
III.
EMPLOYMENT OF SCs&STs
9.
Discriminations exploitations and harassments are maximum, in the Unorganised Sector, which go undocumented. SC&ST
Dalits are mostly employed in the Unorganised Sector, and they suffer the most. Perhaps, the discriminations exploitations
and harassments take place in the Unorganised Sector, only because of SCs&STs there. These injustices and unfair practices,
oftentimes crueller and most inhuman, must be put to an end at the earliest. Therefore, an appropriate Agency/ Regulatory Authority must be created, to
ensure that Rural Employments remain Fair and Just. Anyone, employing ten or more individuals for
more than ten days, must be asked to first Register
their Requirement with the Regulator. Before employing anyone, the Employers must
Deposit 100 Days Wages. That Deposit
should be utilised to pay the Workers, if they are not paid the Minimum Wages
10.
There should be an
Insurance Scheme for SCs&STs, to protect them in
all cases of Dismissals and Un-employment, something similar to Retirement
Benefits and Pension Payments, since there is still no Social Welfare Net in
the Country. This alone will ensure that
they are not left to the mercy of the Forces in the Street
11.
Crafts Schools and
Skill Development Centres must be established, for Promotion of Handicrafts, as most of the SCs&STs are generally engaged in these jobs, and there
had been very little skill improvements, for a quite long time, in these
Spheres
12.
Rural Entrepreneur
Development Centres must be Established in every Taluk,
to Develop Entrepreneurship amongst the SCs&STs, particularly in the
Rural SC&ST Areas
IV.
EMPLOYMENT OF
SC&ST SWEEPERS
13.
Govt Offices and
Public Sector Enterprises, must promote Sweepers from SC&ST Communities to
higher ranks, as Public Health Workers and Supervisors. The Sweepers
from SC&ST Communities must be employed at such senior levels, as Public
Health Workers, Supervisors and still more higher Jobs, in all Hospitals, Panchayats, Municipalities, City Corporations, Market
Places, Slaughter Houses, Bus Terminals, Railway Stations etc, to maintain
utmost cleanliness
14.
Special Awards must be
Instituted, and Awarded to the best Public Health Workers and Supervisors who
maintain cleanliness, comparable to good Air Ports, to duly recognise their
hard-work and contributions
15.
Govt must stop
exploiting SC&ST Sweepers, and not privatise the Jobs of Sweepers, to
benefit private contractors. Govt must
declare publicly and very clearly, that Sweeping will be the last job to be
privatised
16.
All Panchayats, Municipalities, City Corporations, Govt
Offices, Public Sector Enterprises must stop, the prevailing fraudulent
practices of employing as Sweepers, those who are not from the SC&ST
Sweeper Communities, but gain entry into service, only to get regular
jobs, and every month decent salaries as Sweepers, but without ever actually
doing any work of Sweepers
V.
SCs&STs IN SERVICE
17.
Professionally
18.
There should be a
TRANSFER POLICY, with clear Provisions to Protect SCs&STs
from deliberate Discriminations of Transfers to distant, difficult, troubled
and unwanted areas. SC&ST Dalits are now being deliberately shunted out, and posted
to distant far off places; while others are retained, or given good postings,
or allowed to pick choose take and move on transfers of their choices. Those
SC&ST Dalits, who keep Begging for Cancellation
of their Transfers, or ask for posting somewhere nearby and in safe places, are
being deliberately penalised severely. In
fact, under the excuse of discipline, many SCs&STs
are now being even Dismissed from their Services. Such
totally unfair unjust and disproportionate harassments of SC&ST Dalits must be stopped.
SC&ST Dalits
should not be posted, beyond the immediate adjacent States and Union Territories
surrounding their home States/UTs, other than the
National Capital of
19.
Moratorium on
Persecution of all SC&ST Officials Employees and Workers, at least for five years,
during the tenure of this Govt, as in most Departments more than 76% of
Officers Staff and Workers being penalised these days, under one pretext or the
other, are SC&ST Dalits
20.
Immediate
Rehabilitation of all SC&ST Dalits and Minorities thrown out of, their
Service/ Job/ Employment, by way of forced
or coerced Voluntary Retirement Schemes, or Compulsory Retirements, or
Dismissals etc
PROMOTIONS OF SC&ST DALITS IN SERVICE
21.
SC&ST Employees
must be protected, from being deliberately dropped out at the time of
Promotions, due to the still lingering racial caste fears and antagonisms. Similarly, the current practices of avoiding deferring and delaying SC&ST
Promotions must be stopped, as they are clear attempts to destroy the
career progressions of SCs&STs
22.
Every SC/ST recruited
into superior Services, through All India Competitive Examinations by UPSC,
must be given Time Bound Promotions, as in the case of those joining
Indian Administrative Service, up to the rank/ grade of Joint Secretary
at least. Other SC&ST Officers, must be given at least one Promotion, after
every ten years of Service in a Post/ Rank
23.
SC/ST Employees
recruited into subordinate or junior Services, must also be given Time Bound
Promotions, and at least one Promotion for every ten years of their service
24.
The present practices
of promoting others less qualified, or not qualified, at all in the
specific areas of work, or are non-specialists, and also those not adequately
experienced, specially in the areas of work, must be stopped at least now. Such things are being done only to just by-pass SC&ST Dalits
who are more qualified, better qualified, and are specialists, that too in the
specific areas of work, as well as with right and adequate experiences. Therefore, the SC&ST Dalits must be given their due
promotions, at the right times, even if they are not otherwise promoted earlier
– as rapid, fast-track or flier promotions in recognition of their Services and
Contributions, and as the right and due incentives
RATINGS AND REPORTS OF SC&ST DALITS IN SERVICE
25.
Any SC&ST given an
Annual Confidential Report (ACR) or Grading that is below the requirement for
Promotion, should be properly advised and given full opportunities to overcome
the alleged ‘shortcomings’ said to have been observed by their superiors
26.
SC&ST Dalits, getting ACRs or Gradings below the Requirements for their next Promotions
for the second time, must immediately be sent to undergo Appropriate Advanced
Trainings, or Special Executive and Management Development Programmes to improve their
performances
27.
Most SCs&STs are
deliberately given lukewarm and poor ACRs and
Ratings, to delay and deny their Promotions, because of the still prevailing
and continuing caste biases and prejudices.
Hence, Severe Actions must be
taken against Officers, giving more than one Adverse Report or poor Grading, to
any SC&ST working under them.
And, Action should also be taken
against the HODs, whenever any SC/ST is given Adverse
ACRs and Poor Reports, for consequent years
28.
There should be Special
Moderation Committees (SMCs) to look into the ACRs and Gradings of SC&ST
Officers and Employees. These SMCs should have full Powers to expunge adverse, bad and
lukewarm Entries in the Reports, and also upgrade the Gradings,
well before any Promotions are made. At
least 50% Members of such SMCs should be, capable and
well established SCs&STs - non-controversial
amongst SC&ST Dalit Communities, drawn only from
other Ministries/ Departments/ Organisations
VI.
EMPLOYMENT OF SCs&STs IN PRIVATE SECTOR
29.
MERIT IS DISCOUNTED,
as it is totally Subjective, and invariably NOT A
CONSIDERATION for Employment, in most of the Private Sector Units. Hence, Quantum Changes must be ensured, in
all Employments in the Private Sector, to ensure Justice to everyone in the
Country
30.
Private Sector and
Business Activities in the Country, are all organised purely on the basis of Castes, and are not at all based on Merit or Capabilities. Therefore, Drastic Changes must be made, to
reduce Caste Considerations and Caste Influences at the time of Employments in
the Private Sector, to provide Equal Opportunities to all, irrespective of
Considerations of Caste, Colour, Sex, Race etc
31.
There must be a suitable REGULATORY AUTHORITY to govern Employments in the Private Sector, as
there is no possibility at all for the SCs&STs,
Minorities and other backward castes in the Country, to get any decent or good
and well paid Employment in the Private Sector, in the present day
conditions
VII. RESERVATIONS IN PRIVATE SECTOR
32.
There must be COMPULSORY
RESERVATIONS for Employment of SCs&STs, in all
Private Sector Establishments, utilising Natural Resources of the People in
the Country
33.
Anyone using Water or
Land, within the boundaries of the Nation, or employing more than thirty
Individuals educated and trained in the Country, must strictly implement
Reservations. For, Industries and Businesses are for Public Good, and Welfare of the whole
Society, and not for the private
personal Profits and huge unlimited Earnings of Industrialists and Business
Families, or the exclusive benefits of any single individual or group or
caste
VIII. PAYMENT OF WAGES TO SCs&STs
34.
Just Wages must be
paid to SC&ST Dalits, who work physically to create lasting
public assets, and provide food to all People in the Country
35.
Minimum Wages must be
Development and Growth Oriented, and not be cruelly tied to Survival, or be
meaninglessly kept down as Subsistence Wages.
Hence, SC&ST Employees should no more be paid Minimum or Subsistence
or Survival Wages, while others living on the contributions and produce of
SC&ST Dalits, are easily and comfortably allowed
to take home millions as Salaries, and at times even as incentives or as increments
36.
Payment of Full Wages
to SC&ST Dalits must be ensured, as they are
invariably not paid full wages due or promised, almost in every part of the
Country. This is so, even in the Public
Sector and Govt Offices – under some pretext or the other
IX.
EQUAL WAGES FOR ALL
37.
The relative Gap
between SC&ST Dalit Workers, and Officials in
Govt or Private must be reduced gradually and regularly, to bridge the gulf
step by step, and at the earliest
38.
The ultimate Aim of the Govt must be, EQUAL WAGES FOR ALL in the Country
39.
Wages must be in
proportion to hours of Work, difficulties, hardships and risks involved in the
Job, actual and direct energy input to the job, and contributions to the basic
needs of People in the Country, as well as the needs of the family of the workers/
employees
X.
END HUNGER DEATHS
40.
Hunger Deaths of poor
SC Dalits and helpless ST Dalits
must be stopped all around the Country, with the utmost priority and at any cost. There
should be Day-Care Centres with Nutritious Mid-Day Meal Programmes in every
SC&ST Colonies and Villages, to protect all the young Children,
particularly those suffering from severe mal-nutrition/ different and avoidable
sicknesses, and save them from hunger deaths that occur even these days, in
many different parts of the Country
41.
Spending huge funds
from the Public Exchequer, just to store rotting Food-Stocks in the Godowns, must be stopped.
SC&ST Dalits
must be engaged, in the tasks of assessing the Life and Quality of each lot of
Grains procured, to prevent them from being distributed to SCs&STs,
after the expiry of their shelf/ storage lives. Like Drugs, Food Stocks must be packed
properly, and scientifically stored, indicating procurement date, storage life,
and expiry date. All old stocks must be
assessed for their Utility – human consumption, or use as feedstock to animals,
bird and fish, or as manure in the farms; or for condemnation and safe deep
burial or incineration.
42.
Non-moving and
slow-moving FOOD-STOCKS, must be Distributed to SC&ST Dalits,
after ensuring their quality, immediately after the end of, half their storage
lives. Revenue Authorities must be held responsible,
for their distribution to poor SCs&STs, both in
the Rural Areas and City Slums
43.
Schemes like Creation
of PUBLIC PHYSICAL ASSETS and WORK FOR FOOD must be launched, in the poor
backward SC&ST Areas. Revenue
Authorities should be asked to get created, reasonably proportionate Public Physical Assets, in return for the
grains distributed. The Concept
should be, just exactly reverse and opposite to the present Scheme of FOOD FOR
WORK, which fails to take off in time in many areas, as authorities are too
slow in coming out with their Plans for the Works, that need to be taken up
under the prevailing Food for Work Schemes
XI.
PROVISION OF MEDICAL
FACILITIES
44.
Dispensaries and
Medical Sub-Centres for rendering First Aid, be set up in every
SC&ST Colony, both in the Rural and Urban Areas. And,
all the Dispensaries and Medical Sub-Centres in SC&ST Areas must be
manned by local SC&ST Youngsters, trained by
45.
Proper and
full-fledged Medical Treatment Facilities, and Maternity Centres with
pre-Natal/ anti-Natal, peri-Natal and Post-Natal Care
for Infants and Mothers be set up, for every ten SC&ST Colonies/ Areas,
both in Rural Areas and Urban Slums, in the Country
46.
SC&ST Dalit Medical Specialists must be encouraged to set up
Community based Medical and Maternity Centres in/near-by SC&ST
Colonies
XII. EDUCATION OF SCs&STs
47.
All Educational Institutions, Govt or Private, must Admit 25% SC&ST Dalit
Students, without any exception
48.
All SC&ST Dalit Students
must be given proper and adequate Freeships in Schools,
to study and to avoid dropouts; Scholarships for pursuing higher studies in
Colleges and Universities; Fellowships for Research and Advanced Trainings
in the Country, without any Restrictions as in the case of Merit Scholarships
49.
SC&ST Students
must be given preferences, at the time of Admissions in all Educational
Institutions. For, the entire Indian
Society needs to be Educated on Priority, if the Country is to Develop as a
Civilised Nation. Hence, the least educated must first be admitted for Education, instead of
admitting only those from the already well educated families and with higher
marks
50.
SC&ST Dalits sending their Children for Education, should be
exempted from all Taxes, and provided with other incentives
XIII. OVERSEAS FELLOWSHIPS FOR SCs&STs
51.
Increase the Numbers
of Overseas Fellowships for SCs&STs, to go abroad
and pursue higher Education and Advanced Studies, in emerging Spheres of
frontier areas of Science and Technology, without any restriction, as the
number of SC&ST Scholars Studying abroad is now practically negligible, and
in fact is Nil in many spheres
XIV. SC&ST TEACHERS
52.
SC&ST Teachers
must be employed on a preferential basis, to spread Education amongst SCs&STs
53.
SC&ST Teachers
must also be appointed and promoted as Head Masters and Principals, to give a big push to
SC&ST Dalits Education
54.
SC&ST Students
must be engaged to Teach other SCs&STs, both old
and young during Summer Vacations. They
should be given appropriate honorariums, to expeditiously spread literacy
amongst SCs&STs

Coaching Centres, Schools, Training Institutions, Technical Centres, Colleges
etc
57.
Dominant Caste
Students, claiming to have Extraordinary Talents and superior family backgrounds,
and educated parents, must be encouraged
to go to Open Schools, or take up Continuing or Correspondence Courses. They can always afford the best of private costly
coaching classes and expensive expert tuitions, better resources, etc to study
and pass out as private students
XVI. MIDDAY MEALS IN SCHOOLS
58.

in the Schools

Students, on an immediate basis
62.

must be encouraged to run Hostel Facilities for SC&ST Students, near the Colleges and
Universities, to supplement the existing Hostel Facilities
XVIII. HOUSING FOR SC&ST DALITS
65.
Special Schemes must
be launched, to provide Residential Accommodation to all SC&ST Dalits, particularly in the Cities, State Capitals and
Delhi, as generally almost all House Owners - particularly the caste hindus - are still
not willing to provide any decent Accommodation to SC&ST Dalits, in most parts of the Country even today
66.
Transit and Hostel
Accommodations must be built for SC&ST Employees
67.
In General Residential
Areas, SC&ST Dalits must be allotted
accommodation on a priority basis. The first/
next-available accommodation must be allotted to SC&ST Dalits,
to create composite and tolerant metropolitan Societies
68.
Special Colonies for SCs&STs must be built,
wherever necessary
69.
Separate and Special SC&ST

their twilight years
XIX. LAND REFORMS
70.
Land Reforms must be
taken up again all over the Country, honestly and sincerely, with a time bound
programme
71.
All loop-holes in
the present Land Reform Acts, and in the implementation stages must be plugged,
immediately
72.
Land should be
redistributed on a regular basis, at least every
twenty years, on a continuing/ regular basis, to ensure that Land Reforms
always remain meaningful
XX. LAND TO THE TILLERS
73.
Eviction of Tillers
must be prohibited, to protect the landless poor tillers
74.
Land should be handed
over to the Tillers, for effective husbanding, and effect increase in Farm
Outputs. And, a Special Scheme – Land for the Tillers must be launched, and the
Tillers must be declared, the legal owners of the lands they cultivate
75.
All absentee land-ownership, and binami land holdings must be abolished. Therefore, all Land Transfers must be banned,
for at least five years
76.
Those on whose name
Land is Registered, or in whose name the land is held, be allowed to cultivate,
reap the harvest, and take the produce for their own use, and as their own
XXI. IRRIGATION AND OTHER FACILITIES FOR SC&ST FARMERS
77.
Appropriate Irrigation
Facilities to SC&ST Lands must be provided, at the earliest

90.
Special and Separate
Schemes for Developing exclusive SC&ST Industrial Estates, Small Scale
Industries, Medium Scale Industries and Large Scale Industries must be launched at
the earliest
XXIII.
NGOs
91.
SCs&STs must be encouraged and helped to organise
Professional NGOs in different parts of the Country. Today, many NGOs by the Dominant Castes are
sprouting all over the Country. Working
for and in the name of SC&ST Dalits, has become a
big business today. There is lot of
money, power, position, recognition, prestige and comfort in it. Hence, lots of NGOs are now being registered
by many, only for this purpose, and make a big living. And there is a big unholy alliance between
the NGOs, Govt Officials and Politicians to cheat and exploit both the Govts, Aid-Agencies, and
also the SC&ST Dalits. Hence very often, the NGOs themselves have
become oppressive, and a big burden on SC&ST Dalits
in the Country
92.
Existing NGOs must be
compelled to include SCs&STs, preferably activist
SC&ST Academicians and committed retired SC&ST Officials, on their
Governing Bodies etc, if they are to continue receive Govt Funds, or be allowed
to receive Foreign Fundings, to Work for SC&ST Dalits
XXIV.
SC&ST COMMISSIONS
93.
SC&ST Commissions
in the States and Union Territories, as well as the National Commission, should
bring out suitable and separate Compilations every year, listing out all the Complaints,
Representations and Memorandums received by them from SCs&STs,
clearly indicating and highlighting those cases that had been solved in favour
of the SCs&STs.
This
will really and fully help in general all Academicians, Activists, Researchers,
Scholars, Govt and Public to know, or study the extent and type of Sufferings
of SCs&STs in the Country, and the efficacy of
the Commission
94. The National Commission on SCs&STs
must bring out, Appropriate Volumes and Writings, on the Problems of Exploitations
and Sufferings of SCs&STs, as well as the Policy
and Need for Reservations etc
95. The Need for Developing the SCs&STs
in the Country at the earliest, to erase the National Shame, and wipe out the
continuing Discriminations to end the sufferings of SCs&STs,
and build a just and civilised Nation, must be highlighted
appropriately by the Govt
XXV.
STOPPING ATROCITIES AND SC&ST
WOMEN JUDGES
96.

police
97.
