Government Fails Tribals: Shocking Progress in Basic Amenities Lags Behind
A mere 4 out of 692 sanctioned hostels have been built for tribal students, with negligible progress in road connectivity and LPG access.
In a damning report on the government's initiative for the welfare of Scheduled Tribes (ST), only four hostels have been constructed out of 692 sanctioned by the Ministry of Education. This abysmal progress raises serious questions about the government's commitment to uplift tribal communities.
Moreover, not a single road or bridge has been completed under this scheme, leaving many tribal areas isolated and without access to essential services. Alarmingly, only about 5% of ST beneficiaries have received LPG connections, a basic necessity for cooking and safety.
As reported by The Hindu, these failures underscore a broader pattern of neglect towards India's tribal populations. Citizens are left wondering: where is the accountability for these broken promises? Why are the most vulnerable still deprived of basic rights and amenities? The government must answer these pressing questions and act swiftly to rectify this gross negligence.
