Validity of OBC certificates raised to 3 years in U’khand
The validity period of OBC certificates will now be for three years instead of six months. Polytechnic institutes, engineering colleges and schools on CBSE pattern would be established on PPP mode in which 50 per cent seats would be reserved for students of SC category.
These decisions were taken in a review meeting of the Social Welfare and Minority Welfare Department chaired by Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna at his residence on Wednesday.
The benefits of all the welfare programmes launched under the Social Welfare Department should reach everyone, Bahuguna said. He would visit four Muslim-dominated areas next month and review works undertaken in the past 10 years in those areas. He directed Secretary Social Welfare to identify those four areas, including one from Dehradun, two from Haridwar and one from Udhamsingh Nagar.
He directed them to increase the validity period of OBC certificates to three years from existing six months. One school each in Haridwar and Sitarganj would be opened on CBSE pattern on PPP mode with 50 per cent reservation for SC students.
In a similar fashion, engineering college and polytechnics would be established in PPP mode with similar reservation provision. The schools run in Ashram system would have class 6 to 10 and run by Education Department. Class 1 to 5 would be abolished.
Bahuguna said that camps would be organised to redress grievances of Van Gujjars in which presence of officers from all departments concerned would be mandatory. Pension disbursed by the Social Welfare Department would be directly credited in the bank accounts of the beneficiaries. He instructed them to furnish reports in one month on the welfare schemes undertaken by them for SC and ST and the breakdowns of the amount spent on the schemes.
Secretary, Social Welfare MH Khan, apprised that the process had been started for effective execution of Chief Minister Minority Self-employment Scheme launched to improve the economic condition and encourage self-employment among Muslim youths. He said that loan would be provided for these schemes at six per cent and 25 per cent grant. Approval of Rs 4.34 crore has been received for proposals of 65 madarsa from Minority Ministry which was due since a long time.
The meeting was attended by Social Welfare Minister Surendra Rakesh, Chief Secretary Alok Kumar Jain, Principal Secretary to CM DK Kotia, Principal Secretary Planning S Ramaswami, Secretary Tourism SS Sandhu and Secretary Finance Radha Raturi, among others.
