Updated on: Thursday, March 14, 2013

Minority Affairs Minister K Rahman Khan said government schemes are in place to take care of members of minority community "from the pre-natal stage up to PhD level".

Khan said this while delivering the valedictory address at the annual conference of the State Minorities Commission which began last evening.

He claimed that people were satisfied with government spending on various schemes, and the complaints were related to delivery mechanism.

Referring to deliberations during various sessions of the conference, the Minister said several complaints had been addressed in Sachchar Committee Recommendations.

Of the 76 recommendations made by the Sachchar Commission, 72 were accepted by the government and of these, action for implementation has been taken on 69, he said.

Elaborating on PM's 15 point programme, the Minister said physical and financial targets had been fixed in all developmental schemes for the deprived minority communities.

Khan said minorities were losing faith in law enforcing agencies and asked the Minority Commission to suggest ways to bridge the trust deficit.
