SC panel seeks report from Karnataka govt on ‘diversion’ of SC/ST funds | India News – Times of India
National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) has sought a detailed report from the Karnataka government within seven days on the alleged diversion of SC/ST funds.
NCSC took cognizance of the matter on its own initiative based on a media report about alleged diversion of Scheduled Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) funds in Karnataka. In a letter to the Karnataka Chief Secretary, the commission said the state government had reportedly decided to reallocate Rs 14,730 crore, originally earmarked under SCSP and TSP, to implement various welfare schemes known as the ‘five guarantees’.
