Shri Antar Singh Arya warmly welcomed Shri Nirupam Chakma and felicitated him on his assumption of office as the Chief Executive Member of the Chakma Autonomous District Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, the two leaders held detailed discussions on a wide range of issues concerning the welfare, rights, development and constitutional safeguards of Scheduled Tribes across the country. They also exchanged views on strengthening the institutional mechanisms for protecting the interests of tribal communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shri Nirupam Chakma requested the Hon\u2019ble Chairperson to expedite the ongoing review of the Fifth and Sixth Schedules to the Constitution of India, keeping in view the contemporary challenges and aspirations of Scheduled Tribe communities. He further requested that the NCST consider preparing a comprehensive Special Report on the review, for submission to the Hon\u2019ble President of India, highlighting the need to strengthen the constitutional safeguards and institutions governing Scheduled Areas and Autonomous District Councils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shri Chakma also requested the Chairperson\u2019s intervention and support in facilitating the allotment of a suitable plot of land in New Delhi for the construction of a Students\u2019 Hostel and Guest House for the Chakma community, which would provide accommodation and institutional support to students and visitors from the community coming to the national capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important proposal discussed during the meeting was the organisation of a National Conference of State Commissions for Scheduled Tribes, bringing together the NCST and State Commissions to deliberate on issues relating to tribal rights, constitutional safeguards, socio-economic development and effective implementation of welfare programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shri Nirupam Chakma also proposed that the Foundation Day of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes be commemorated on a larger and more significant national scale, providing an appropriate platform to highlight the constitutional mandate and achievements of the Commission and to deliberate on emerging challenges faced by Scheduled Tribe communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was held in a cordial and constructive atmosphere, with both leaders reaffirming their commitment to strengthening constitutional safeguards and promoting the welfare, dignity and development of Scheduled Tribes across India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
