It has increased by over 50 per cent: Thawarchand Gehlot
Allocation for schemes for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes by all Ministries went up by over 50% in the Budget 2021-2022 compared to the previous year, Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Thawarchand Gehlot said on Monday.
Mr. Gehlot said the allocation had increased by 51.65%, from ₹83,256.62 crore in 2020-2021 to ₹1,26,259.20 crore in 2021-2022. This, he said, proved the government’s mantra of “sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas” was working.
