Commission came into existence from 9th January, 2015. 2. The Commission led by me made extensive visits, visited 20 states, held meetings with 15 State Governments, met nearly 123 communities in their locations and saw their living conditions and received nearly 834 grievances/representations from the community people, leaders and associations. 3. These visits and the grievances have given a new vision to us and views of the people, especially the down-trodden people who are yet to see the ray of hope. The publication of the document “Voices of the Denotified, Nomadic & Semi-Nomadic Tribes” is a very big effort towards achieving the objectives of the Commission.

  • Farewell to Maratha Politics?
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Farewell to Maratha Politics? Assembly Election in Maharashtra SUHAS PALSHIKAR Vol. 49, Issue No. 42, 18 Oct, 2014 Suhas Palshikar ([email protected]) teaches at the Department of Politics at the Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune. The dominance of Maharashtra’s politics by the Congress and the Maratha elite had been weakening since 1995, and the triumph of the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party in the assembly election seems to have finally brought it to an end. Who among the contenders -- the Nationalist Congress Party, the Shiv Sena, the BJP, and a Maratha elite now at a distance from both power and its community -- will occupy the space vacated by the Congress? More than the defeat of the Congress and NCP, what marks a new era for the politics of the state is the desertion of Maratha voters from the two Congress parties. In the present scenario, the BJP seems poised to pick its leaders in the state and build a social coalition that will stand by it for some time to come. The defeat of a sitting government need not draw much attention. But when it happens in a state that does not often see a change in the party/coalition heading the government, it stirs much expectation and speculation. More so, when the change could be a catalyst for regime change. The assembly election in Maharashtra in October 2014 may have been crucial in this sense. Politics in Maharashtra has long been known for the twin features of a dominant party and a dominant caste.

  • Water Crisis: a Tale of Govt Apathy, Privilege Short on Empathy and Responsibility, the Centre's Neglect Is Rivalled Only by Its Officials' Flippancy
    6/27/2016 Deccan Herald vom 24.06.2016#B Water crisis: A tale of govt apathy, privilege Short on empathy and responsibility, the Centre's neglect is rivalled only by its officials' flippancy By Sonia Faleiro When 2­year­old Rutuja playfully tipped over a bottle, spilling water onto the mud floor of the family's shack, her mother, Nageshwari Rathore, let loose a screech, lunging forward as though to slap the toddler. Rathore stopped herself, sinking her head into her hands. "You finished it," she whispered. The loss wrenched at the 25­year­old. That June morning she had stood in line in the scorching heat for over an hour to collect five litres of water. A government tanker rolls up once a day to the abandoned field where she now lives. Located in Ghatkopar, a Mumbai suburb, the field functions as a relief camp for 350 families who have left their villages in rural Maharashtra because of a drought, the worst in 100 years. Wild pigs root through the open sewer that runs alongside the Rathores' tarpaulin shack. When the monsoon arrives, possibly in the next few days, it will flood the camp and force the family out. Over 330 million Indians ­ about one quarter of the country's population ­ have been affected by the drought. In Maharashtra, where over half the population is dependent on the rural economy, the effects are severe. An average of nearly nine farmers committed suicide every day last year, primarily over debt related to crop failure. Rural Indians are falling behind even as urban Indians enjoy unprecedented prosperity.

  • Amitanand Choudhary Location : New Delhi: Article Date : 04/08/2016
    4/8/2016 The Times of India Title : DRY RUN ­ SC: NREGS funds not enough for drought­hit Author : AmitAnand Choudhary Location : New Delhi: Article Date : 04/08/2016 `Budget Not Much To Employ Distressed Lot' The Modi government's 2015­16 budget was hailed as `pro­farmer' with substantial hike in farm sector allocation, but the Supreme Court on Thursday said money allocated for MNREGS was not enough to address the problems of farmers and rural population hit by drought. A bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and N V Ramana examined data provided by the Centre on MGNREGS and said the current allocation would not be sufficient to ameliorate the condition of droughthit people who would turn up in large numbers to get employment under the scheme. It said the state governments would not be able to offer jobs to the distressed people due to lack of funds and the Centre should consider increasing allocation, particularly to states reeling under drought. “There is a shortage of funds and this shortage is going to be severe if all states comply with 100 days of employment per household per year which at present is only at 46 days as per your data. You need to have larger budget to solve the problem of drought hit people by offering them employment,“ the bench said. The Centre enhanced budgetary allocation for Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) to Rs 38,500 crore from Rs 34,699 crore last year, but Rs 10,000 crore would be for payments of last year's liability with only Rs 28,500 crore available for the current financial year.
