| Conduct census of migratory Gujjars: Poswal | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Sept 7: AKhil Bhartya Gujjar Maha Sabha has demanded that government should conduct census of the migratory Gujjar community in the ensuing caste census, which will start from October.
Addressing a press conference, Sabha president Ishfaq-ur-Rehman Poswal also demanded that administration should conduct BPL Survey of this community and bring them in the orbit of Indra Awas Yojna.
He said that Sabha recently was invited to take part in the National Advisory Council meeting in New Delhi, where he presented problems confronting nomadic Gujjar and Bakarwal community in Jammu and Kashmir. Poswal appealed to the Chief Minister to implement the decision taken in the aforesaid meeting like.
“To extend benefits of education to the deprived migratory Gujjar, Bakarwal because both the communities remain moving from place to place at least for three months every year and during this period they are neglected from all Govt. schemes”, he said.
He alleged that the Mobile Schools have remained on papers only and scholarships for their students remain a big hoax.
“Like rest of the states of India wherein Migratory communities enjoying the fruits of Forest Right Act. Lakhs of Migratory Gujjar and Bakarwal in J&K live in a miserable condition when they have no facilities for grazing of cattle and buffaloes”, he said.
Poswal said this is most unfortunate that despite lapse of 64 years of Independence, both the communities are forced to migrate from place to place and face the problems of un-settled life like education, health, employment of their children forcing them to remain poor, helpless and dependent upon others mercy.
Poswal urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to personally intervene into the matter that crores of rupees unspent be utilized for solving different problems detailed above in each district, to remove the bungling in utilization of funds meant for them by creating a separate administrative department for Tribal Welfare as it is prevalent in Maharashtra and other States of India.
Poswal further alleged that presently crores of rupees provided by the central government for distributing Pre-Matric and Post Matric scholarships are not being utilized properly and judiciously because a number of agencies are involved in its distribution like Directorate of Tribal Affairs, J&K, Gujjar and Bakarwal Advisory Board, Social Welfare.
