Uttarakhand Scheduled Castes Sub-Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan (Planing, Allocation and Utilization) Act, 2013

General201329 sections

This law governs how the government of Uttarakhand allocates money specifically for the development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. It requires the state to set aside a portion of its annual budget based on the population of these communities. The Act establishes a committee to oversee this process and mandates that departments create separate plans, known as Sub-Plans, to address the specific needs and development gaps of these groups. By ensuring dedicated funding and targeted schemes, the legislation aims to promote social equity and reduce disparities between marginalized communities and the rest of the state.
