  • RGICS LEGISLATIVE BRIEF (January, 2017)
    RGICS RAJIV GANDHI INSTITUTE FOR CONTEMPORARY STUDIES JAWAHAR BHAWAN, DR. RAJENDRA PRASAD ROAD, NEW DELHI-110001 RGICS LEGISLATIVE BRIEF (January, 2017) The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 Jeet Singh Social Cluster RGICS legislative brief The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 2 PART: I Key Messages The Constitutional Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016 proposes to include 23 different communities of Assam, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand in the list STs. Despite political consensus and approval of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribe and the previous government, the NDA government took more than two and half years to move this constitutional amendment Bill. Currently there are 210 proposals of different communities for inclusion in the list of STs pending with Central government for final approval. The Bill attempts to resolve only 12 out of 210 proposals seeking ST categorization. PART: II Introduction The introduction of ‘The Constitution Amendment (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2016’ in Lok Sabha in December 2016 by NDA government has brought good news for nearly 23 tribal communities. The Union Minister of Trabal Affairs Mr. Jual Oram while introduction of the Bill in the Lok Sabha said that the Bill has accepted some proposals of inclusion of few communities in the list of ST requested by five states governments- Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and Tripura. The Bill reads, “the Bill seeks to include certain communities as well as addition of synonyms of communities in the existing lists of Scheduled Tribes.” For many of these communities, the demand of ST categorization is very old and they fought a long battle for their rightful due.

  • Population Situation Analysis of Nepal (With Respect to Sustainable Development)
    Population Situation Analysis of Nepal (With Respect to Sustainable Development) UNFPA Nepal 2017 Population Situation Analysis of Nepal Executive Summary The year 2014 marked the end of the successful implementation of a 20-year Programme of Action (PoA) endorsed by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo, Egypt in 1994. In September 2014, in its resolution 65/234 on the review of the implementation of the PoA of the ICPD and its follow-up beyond 2014, the General Assembly underscored the need for a systematic, integrated and comprehensive approach to population and development, one that would respond to new challenges relevant to population and development and to the changing development environment, as well as reinforce the integration of the population and development agenda in global processes related to development1. The findings and conclusions of the operational review suggest a new framework for population and development beyond 2014 built on five thematic pillars: (i) health; (ii) dignity and human rights; (iii) place and mobility; (iv) governance and accountability; and (v) sustainability. At the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to tackle pressing global issues by 2030. The Government of Nepal, National Planning Commission (NPC) produced a national preliminary report in 2015 on the SDGs and is currently refining the targets and integrating them in national plans. This is expected to guide Nepal in translating SDGs into actions at all levels, national, regional and local. It contains indicators by goals and their quantitative benchmark data and targets.

  • Dalits of Nepal
    DALITS OF NEPAL Who are Dalits in Nepal? There 4.5 million Dalits in Nepal out of a total population of 24 million. This is almost 20 percent of the population. This figure does not include the janajatis, who make up 37 percent of the population. Dalits are discriminated against in both law and fact. Although some protective measures have been introduced in the law of Nepal, but these are not very strong and poorly implemented. Discrimination against Dalits and Janajatis is the overwhelming reality of Nepal's social structure. However, there are hierarchies Composition Dalits in Nepal Kami,Sonar,Lohar Damai Sarki 9% 1% 5% Gain 0% 2% 1% Badie 6% 0% 2% 1% Chamar Mushahar 11% 3% 0% Paswan 1% 0% Dhobi 0% 10% Khatwe 13% 6% Tatma Santhal Dhangar Bantar 37% Kahar Dom Halkhor Pattharkatta and discrimination within the Dalit community with Kami, Sonar and Lohar (identified by the surname Biswakarma) at the so-called top of the hierarchy.
