Demand for formation of empowered Dalit Development Authority

For the empowerment of the Dalit community, various development committees were formed in the past, but now they are inactive, the United Political Dalit Struggle Committee has demanded the formation of an empowered Dalit Development Authority.

While submitting a memorandum to Federal Affairs and General Administration Minister Rajkumar Gupta on Sunday, the committee drew attention to the fact that the government had already set up a Dalit Development Authority after appropriating the budget last year. The all-party political representative team under the leadership of

committee coordinator Daljit Sripaili has drawn this attention while submitting a memorandum to the government. The committee said that it was heard that the government is preparing to abolish the Neglected, Oppressed and Dalit Upliftment Development Committee, Wadi Community Upliftment Development Committee and Backward Community Upliftment Development Committee formed under the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration in the past and merge their functions into the National Dalit Commission and the Inclusion Commission.

It is well known that as a result of the struggle of the Nepali Dalit movement, the Dalit Development Committee established in 2054 and the Wadi Community Upliftment Development Committee established in 2067 and the OVC Development Committee were established for the upliftment and development of the Dalit community. For this, the government allocated 200 million budget last year," said Daljit Rasaili, coordinator of the committee. "Dismantling these structures without any consultation with the Dalit community and the employees working in those structures is against the spirit and spirit of the Dalit community. This will not be tolerated.'

Based on the spirit and spirit of the constitution and the provisions of the constitution, the abolition of these committees by the government without any consultation with the Dalit community is an act against the rights of the Dalit community, he said. The committee said that the government's decision will hurt the sentiments of more than 4 million Dalits.

'Dalit Development Committee and Wadi Development Committee have contributed directly to the entrepreneurship, upliftment and development of the Dalit community, provided scholarships for Dalit students to study higher education and contributed to the empowerment of the Dalit community. After the government prepared to dissolve the development committees, the employees working there are also protesting.
