National Commission for SCs and STs from "summary" of Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
The National Commission for SCs and STs was established by the Constitution of India with the aim of safeguarding the interests of the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the country. This commission is a constitutional body that works towards promoting and protecting the rights of these marginalized communities. The main functions of the National Commission for SCs and STs include investigating and monitoring the implementation of policies and programs designed for the welfare of SCs and STs. The commission also looks into complaints of violation of rights and safeguards guaranteed to these communities under the Constitution. One of the key responsibilities of the commission is to submit annual and special reports to the President on the working of these safeguards. These reports highlight the progress made in the implementation of welfare measures for SCs and STs and also identify areas where further action is required. The commission also makes recommendations to the government on measures that need to be taken to ensure the effective implementation of policies for the welfare of SCs and STs. In addition, the commission can also inquire into specific complaints regarding the deprivation of rights and safeguards of SCs and STs.- The National Commission for SCs and STs plays a crucial role in advocating for the rights and interests of these marginalized communities and ensuring that they receive the necessary support and protection from the government.
