Know what the Union Budget has got for Dalits in the FY 2023-2024.

There has been a total allocation of Rs. 159126.22 Crores for Dalits out of the total UB amounting to Rs. 4990842 Crores. Dalit budget makes it to just 3.1%

#UnionBudget2023 #DalitBudget #ScheduledCasteBudget Department of Health & Family Welfare gets an allocation of Rs. 9323.81 Crores. It's well known to everyone how much health benefit Dalits get in this country yet such a huge amount gets snatched away from the budget for our development. Shame.

Suspend and Disband the Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws with immediate effect and ensure that any subsequent reform process complies with national and international best practices so as to further our constitutional goals of justice, equality and liberty. @citizensspeakup Main concerns are:
1. COMPREHENSIVE LEGAL REFORM CANNOT BE UNDERTAKEN WHILE THE COUNTRY IS IN THE GRIP OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
