Concerned over the plight of poor Scheduled Caste women and children, the Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) will take stock of its schemes and their implementation at a two-day meeting beginning here on Tuesday. As a nodal ministry, the WCD will review the outcome of these schemes and gaps in implementation.

“It has been seen that targeted schemes do not reach the poor population, thereby excluding 70-75 per cent of the beneficiaries. This defeats the whole purpose,” said WCD Minster Krishna Tirath.

The meeting is the first among a series to be held in the coming months.It will focus on women belonging to the SCs, followed by the Scheduled Tribes, the Other Backward Classes and minorities, and issues related topoor women and children in the population.

Senior officers from the Ministries of Education, Rural Development, Labour and Employment, Human Resource Development, Agriculture and Health and financing agencies have been invited to give an overview and point out deficiencies in the schemes for SC women and children. Civil society groups will also make suggestions.

Working groups would be formed for various sectors and they would discuss issues of health, nutrition, manual scavenging and livelihood. They would come up with recommendations to make the schemes more result-oriented. “The ultimate aim is to make women empowered by providing them health, nutrition, skills and financial independence,” said Ms. Tirath.
