- An annual workshop of District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police on
implementation of laws in this regard;
- Women officers should be assigned to all atrocity prone areas, with cells established to
entertain complaints;
- Self-help groups of Scheduled Caste women should be given elementary legal training
along with sessions on confidence building;
- Identify in each district a NGO which can be approached in case of custodial violence or
any other atrocity;
- Panchayats may be sensitized about the issues concerning the Scheduled Castes and
various De-Notified Tribes;
- Institute annual awards for the police stations and districts, which emerge as the most
responsive to the complaints of the Scheduled Castes.
The Commission commends these and other recommendations contained in the Report for your
kind consideration and for initiating appropriate action. I have separately addressed
letters to the Prime Minister and various Union Ministers for an appropriate action to be taken
at their level.
May I request you to ensure that the State Government also initiates steps to implement the
recommendations contained in the report and monitor their progress.
With regards, Yours sincerely,
