From 2017-18 to 2020-21, approx. Rs 2.6 lakh crore was sanctioned for welfare of Scheduled Castes. Of this, Rs 49,722.18 crore was surrendered by ministries/departments.

New Delhi: Around 20 per cent of the funds allocated for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes (SCs) between 2017-18 and 2020-21 — totalling approximately Rs 50,000 crore — were left unused by multiple Union ministries/departments, ThePrint has learnt.

This, sources said, has led the Modi government to propose a change in the framework governing allocation, one where uniform distribution across ministries/departments is switched with investments in high-priority areas, and cash transfers of up to Rs 50,000/annum to beneficiaries.

The matter of unused funds and the government’s proposal envisaging a new system for allocation came up for discussion at a review meeting of the Development Action Plan for Scheduled Castes (DAPSC) 2019-20 earlier this month.

The DAPSC is a government initiative under which funds are allocated to different ministries/departments for schemes aimed at the uplift of the Scheduled Castes (SCs).
