INTRODUCTION

The Rajinder Sachar Committee, appointed by the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India was a high level committee for preparation of a report on the social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community of India. It prepared a 403-page report that was tabled in Parliament on 30 November 2006 20 months after obtaining the terms of reference from the PMO.[1] It has come-up with this report with suggestions and solutions to include and mainstream Indian Muslims. The report is available from the Indian Government site.[2] It is the first of its kind report and it suggests adoption of suitable mechanisms to ensure equity and equality of opportunity to Muslims in residential, work and educational spaces.[3] According to Sachar Committee report the status of Indian Muslims are below the conditions of Scheduled Castes and Tribes. There is a lot of discussions and debates goes on the Sachar Committee Report.[4]. There are follow-up actions taken based on Committee findings like the Finance Minister P. Chidambaram action Corporation (NMDFC). Last year, I made a modest contribution of Rs.16.47 crore to the equity of the NMDFC. Following the Sachar Committee report (on the status of minorities), NMDFC would be required to expand its reach and intensify its efforts. Hence, I propose to provide a further sum of Rs.63 crore to the share capital of NMDFC. funding for National Minorities Development and Finance

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR MINORITIES

Statutory Recommendation The Sachar Report on Social, Economic and Educational Status of the Muslim Community of India has produced a compendium of authentic information required by the Government for planning, formulating and implementing specific interventions, policies and programmes to address issues relating to the

backwardness of the community. The National Commission for Minorities has a statutory responsibility, under Section 9(1) (g) of the NCM Act, 1992, to evaluate the progress of the development of the minorities and to suggest appropriate measures, to be taken by the Government, in respect of any community. Pursuant to this the Commission is of the view that amongst the recommendations of the Report, the following pertaining to (1) education (2) economy and employment opportunities (3) access to bank credit (4) access to physical and social infrastructure and government programmes (5) public employment and recruitment procedures, require to be given the highest priority amongst the priorities being set by the Government for

implementing the Recommendations of the Report: 1.Education Access to education is critical to benefiting from emerging opportunities that go with economic growth. The right to education is a fundamental right; the Report establishes the extent of educational deprivation experienced by the Muslim community. Muslims are at a double disadvantage with low levels of education combined with low quality education. Their deprivation increases many-folds as the level of education rises. 25 per cent of Muslim children in the 6-14 year age group have either never attended school or have dropped out. At the level of higher education, less than 4 percent Muslims are graduates or diploma holders as against the national average of 7 percent for the age group 20 and above. At the postgraduate level, only one out of twenty students is a Muslim. The improvements in educational patterns of SCs and STs suggest that they have benefited from targeted government programmes supporting their educational progress. This underscores the importance of affirmative action. While the nature of affirmative action that is required needs to be assessed, at a minimum the

government may consider making available more schools in minority-concentration areas, instituting scholarships and making available free textbooks, and transport facilities etc.

Recommendations 1.1 Emphasis on providing a minimum level of school education by the State is necessary. Regular affordable school education that is available to any other child in India should be made available to Muslims in all localities. Primary education in mother tongue is equally important. 2 1.2 Access to government schools for Muslim children is limited. This is particularly so in regard to girls for whom the non-availability of schools within easy reach hampers access to education at the primary level. 1.3 More schools for girls should be set up in localities of Muslim concentration, particularly for the 9-12 standards. This would facilitate higher participation of girls in school education. Induction of more female teachers, provision of hostels for girls and transport facilities would be helpful. 1.4 Institution of more scholarships for professional and technical courses would encourage students to avail in greater measure of opportunities in higher education. 1.5 Skill development initiatives for those who have not completed school education may also be particularly relevant for some section of Muslims given their occupational structure. The pre-entry qualifications for admission to ITI courses should be reduced to Class VIII. The scope of ITI courses should be expanded to focus on emerging market needs. The eligibility of such programmes should also be extended to Madrasa educated children. 2. Economy and Employment Opportunities The participation of Muslims in regular salaried jobs, especially in the government or large public and private sector enterprises, is much less than workers of other SRCs (Socio-religious Communities). Instead, Muslims have higher than average reliance on self-employment, home-based work and are concentrated in self-employed manufacturing and trade activities. Given the informal nature of their work participation, they tend to be more vulnerable than other workers with regard to work related industries in terms of type of contract, availability of social benefits and method of payment.

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES

Since a large section of the Muslim workers are engaged in self-employment, improvements in employment opportunities for them requires a sharper focus on skill development and related matters.

Recommendations 2.1 Specific programmes for self-employed or home-based workers to provide skill, credit, technology and market support in backward districts are needed. These programmes should effectively combine modern managerial, technical and design skills with artisanal skills to create effective intervention strategies. 2.2 ITIs, polytechnics and other institutions that provide skill training to nonmatriculates need to be located in backward and minority concentration districts. 3 2.3 Alternative mechanisms, including but not confined to micro financing bodies, should be identified and charged with the task of providing institutional support like market linkages, skill up-gradation and funding of trades being run by Muslims artisans. 2.4 The Small Industrial Development Bank of India (SIDBI) should set aside a dedicated fund for training for minorities under its Entrepreneurial Development Programme. 2.5 Imparting skills both to those who have completed school education, and those who have dropped out of school but have completed middle education, needs to be reassessed. Most existing technical training programmes require higher secondary education. Given the school completion rates of Muslims and the significant need for skill upgradation, provision of certain types of skill training after middle education may be useful. 2.6 Given the precarious conditions of self-employed persons in the informal sector, especially the home-based workers, it is desirable to have a mandated social security system for such workers. Since the government is already in the process of drafting a scheme to cover the unorganized workers, an early implementation would benefit a large section of the Muslim population along with helping the larger segment of the informal sector workforce.t108 3. Access to Bank Credit The access of Muslims to bank credit, including the Priority Sector Advance (PSA), is limited and this is well documented. The average size of credit is also meager

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES

compared with other groups both in public and private sector banks. The percentage of households availing banking facilities is much lower in villages where the share of Muslim population is high. While part of this could be due to lower demand for credit owing to low income levels of the community, another reason for such an outcome could be non availability of banking facilities in these villages. This is a serious problem as a significantly larger proportion of Muslims are engaged in selfemployment, especially home-based work. Non-availability of credit can have far reaching implications for the socio-economic and educational status of Muslims. Recommendations 3.1 Non-availability of banking facilities should be addressed on a priority basis by providing incentives to banks to open more branches in backward districts. 3.2 To empower Muslims economically, it is necessary to ensure smooth flow of credit/ micro credit and Priority Sector Advances. Steps should be taken to

specifically direct credit, create awareness of various credit schemes, organize entrepreneurial development programmes, and bring transparency in reporting of information about provision of banking services. 4 3.3 A policy to enhance the participation of minorities in the micro-credit schemes of NABARD should be laid down. This should spell out the intervention required by NABARD and could be a mix of target and incentive schemes to enhance the participation of Muslims in micro-credit. 3.4 The practice of identifying negative geographical zones where bank credit and other facilities are not easily provided needs to be reviewed to enable people to benefit fully from banking facilities in the light of governments socio-economic objectives of inclusion. 4. Access to Social and Physical Infrastructure and Government Programmes Muslims are concentrated in locations with poor infrastructural facilities. This affects their access to basic services like education, health facilities, transport etc. Although there are many Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Central Plan Schemes available for the welfare of SCs, STs and OBCs, such schemes for the welfare of minorities are very few, are inadequately funded and have not benefited many Muslims. Recommendations 4.1 Public investment in infrastructure in Muslim concentration areas is urgently required to promote socio-economic development and access to public services.
CHANAKYA NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY Page 9

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES

4.2 A focus on backward districts and clusters where special artisanal groups exist will ensure a sharp reduction in disparities of access and attainment. 4.3 Central Government should introduce a few schemes with large outlays for welfare of minorities with an equitable provision for Muslims. 4.4 A periodic monitoring and assessment of welfare and development programmes, and the extent to which the benefits accrue to Muslims, is imperative. The

monitoring mechanism should be multi-level and should have a civil society component. This would enhance public confidence. 5. Public Employment and Recruitment Procedures Analysis of data has shown very limited Muslim participation in government employment and other programmes. Lack of access to regular salaried jobs, especially in the public sector, has been a matter of major concern. The deficit in regular employment, especially in salaried jobs in the public sector or the much larger private sector, needs to be corrected. It is imperative to increase the public employment share of Muslims particularly in areas requiring a good deal of public dealing. To achieve this, efforts should be made to 5 increase the employment share of Muslims in the teaching community, health workers, police personnel, bank employees and other similar callings. Recommendations 5.1 It would be desirable to have experts drawn from the Muslim community on relevant interview panels and Boards. This practice is already in vogue in the case of SCs/STs. 5.2 The earlier Government instructions about the inclusion of minority community members in Selection Committees/Boards have either not been implemented or implemented inadequately. There is therefore an imperative need to reinforce these instructions and introduce a punitive clause for non-compliance. 5.3 Measures like undertaking a visible recruitment process in areas and districts with high percentage of Muslims, job advertisements in Urdu and vernacular newspapers and other media, or simple messages like 'women, minority, and backward class candidates are encouraged to apply', should be undertaken to promote participation in public employment.

COMPOSITION

The committee comprised seven members including four Muslims. Headed by Justice Rajinder Sachar, the other members were: Sayyid Hamid, Dr. T.K. Ooman, M.A. Basith, Dr. Akhtar Majeed, Dr. Abu Saleh Shariff and Dr. Rakesh Basant. Dr. Syed Zafar Mahmood was the civil servant appointed by the PM as Officer on Special Duty to the Committee. During the committee's interaction with women's groups, some of them seriously articulated a grievance that it did not have any woman member. The Committee tried to make up for this by convening a half-a-day meeting with women's groups during its visits to the States. In addition to that, women social activists in large numbers attended all the meetings of all the groups and expressed their points of view and apprehensions in an open and frank manner. Their input was intensive and to the point about the various matters like education, medical facilities, Anganwadi requirements etc. The Committee also held one full day meeting in Delhi in July 2006 exclusively for women from all over India.

MAIN FINDINGS OF THE REPORT

Some findings are as follows: A..Sachar committee has put a lot of analysis about the Indian Muslim with "statistical reports" based on information from government agencies, banks, Indian Minority Commission, different state governments and its agencies. The major points covered in the reports are: In the field of literacy the Committee has found that the rate among Muslims is very much below than the national average. The gap between Muslims and the general average is greater in urban areas and women. 25 per cent of children of Muslim parents in the 6-14 year age group have either never attended school or have dropped out. Muslim parents are not averse to mainstream education or to send their children to affordable Government schools. The access to government schools for children of Muslim parents is limited. Bidi workers, tailors and mechanics need to be provided with social safety nets and social security. The participation of Muslims in the professional and managerial cadre is low. The average amount of bank loan disbursed to the Muslims is 2/3 of the amount disbursed to other minorities. In some cases it is half. The Reserve Bank of Indias efforts to extend banking and credit facilities under the Prime Ministers 15-point programme of 1983 has

mainly benefited other minorities marginalizing Muslims. There is a clear and significant inverse association between the proportion of the Muslim population and the availability of educational infrastructure in small villages. Muslim concentration villages are not well served with pucca approach roads and local bus stops. Substantially larger proportion of the Muslim households in urban areas are in the less than Rs.500 expenditure bracket. The presence of Muslims has been found to be only 3% in the IAS, 1.8% in the IFS and 4% in the IPS. Muslim community has a representation of only 4.5% in Indian Railways while 98.7% of them are positioned at lower levels. Representation of Muslims is very low in the Universities and in Banks. Their share in police constables is only 6%, in health 4.4%, in

transport 6.5%. For the Maulana Azad Education Foundation to be effective the corpus fund needs to be increased to 1000 crores. Total allocation in the four years 2002 to 2006 for Madarsa Modernization Scheme is 106 crores. The information regarding the Scheme has not adequately percolated down. Even if the share of Muslims in elected bodies is low they and

other under represented segments can be involved in the decision making process through innovative mechanisms. Most of the variables indicate that Muslim-OBCs are significantly deprived in comparison to Hindu-OBCs. The work participation rate (WPR) shows the presence of a sharp difference between Hindu-OBCs (67%) and the Muslims. The share of Muslim-OBCs in government/ PSU jobs is much lower than Hindu-OBCs. There are about 5 lakh registered Wakfs with 600,000 acres (2,400 km) land and Rs 6,000 crore book value.[7]

REMOVAL OF COMMON STEREOTYPES

The Sachar committee report helped in a big way to remove common stereotypes. Some of these important findings were: Only four per cent of Muslims students actually go to madrassas primarily because primary state schools do not exist for miles. Therefore, the idea that Muslims prefer madrassa education was found to be not true.[8] That there is substantial demand from the community for fertility regulation and for modern contraceptives and over 20 million couples are already using contraceptives. Muslim population growth has slowed down as fertility has declined substantially. This does away with the concern that Muslim population growth would be able to outnumber Hindus or change the religious demography in any meaningful way.[9] That Muslims wherever spoken to complained of suffering the twin calumnies of being dubbed anti-national and of being appeased. However, the Indian Muslim community as a whole had never indulged in anti-national activities and the conditions borne out by the committee's findings clearly explained that no "appeasement" had taken place[10] In private industry like the BPO industry, muslims have been able to do well and find employment in large numbers. However this is restricted to large companies mainly.[10] Muslims in Gujarat, a state that was ravaged by 2002 Gujarat riots, were indicated to be better of in terms of Education and Economic well being than the national average. Even in terms of employment Gujarat had a better share of muslims in government jobs (5.4%) than compared to states like West Bengal (2.1%) and New Delhi (3.2%).[11]

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS

The report put forward some recommendations to eliminate the situation raised for Indian Muslim. Justice Sachar explained that the upliftment minorities and implementation of these recommendations would strengthen the secular fabric of Indian society as well as increase patriotism due to their all inclusive progress. The recommendation include: Mechanisms to ensure equity and equality of opportunity and eliminate discrimination.

Creation of a National Data Bank (NDB) where all relevant data for various Socio Religious Communities are maintained.

Form an autonomous Assessment and Monitoring Authority to evaluate the extent of development benefits

An Equal Opportunity Commission should be constituted to look into the grievances of the deprived groups.

Elimination of the anomalies with respect to reserved constituencies under the delimitation scheme.

The idea of providing certain incentives to a diversity index should be explored to ensure equal opportunities in education, governance, private employment and housing.

A process of evaluating the content of the school textbooks needs to be initiated and institutionalized.

The UGC should evolve a system where part of the allocation to colleges and universities is linked to the diversity in the student population.

Providing hostel facilities at reasonable costs for students from minorities must be taken up on a priority basis.

The Committee recommended promoting and enhancing access to Muslims in Priority Sector Bank Advances.

The real need is of policy initiatives that improve the participation and share of the Minorities, particularly Muslims in the business of regular commercial banks.

The community should be represented on interview panels and Boards. The underprivileged should be helped to utilize new opportunities in its high growth phase through skill development and education.

Provide financial and other support to initiatives built around occupations where Muslims are concentrated and have growth potential.[7][12]

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES RESPONSES TO THE COMMITTEE FINDINGS

There are different responses to the sachar committee findings from different part of India.[13][14]

Follow-up action taken 15-point minorities welfare programme The Prime Minister has also unfolded a comprehensive 15-point programme for the welfare and empowerment of minorities.The new plan wants to help the minorities by Enhancing opportunities for education.Ensuring equitable share in economic activities and employment,Improving the conditions of living of minorities,Prevention and control of communal disharmony and violence. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) or Education for All Programme, a national flagship programme to provide quality elementary education to all children in the 6 14 years age group through a time bound approach. Based on the data obtained from Census as well as District Information System for Education (DISE), SRI-IMRB Survey etc., the Government has made a number of interventions in SSA to help the minority (Muslim) children in education. One of the thrust areas is to ensure availability of schools in all minority concentrated districts. During 2005-06, 4624 primary and Upper primary schools, and about 31,702 Education Guarantee Scheme (EGS) Centres were sanctioned in minority concentrated districts. During 2006-07, 6918 new primary and upper primary schools have been sanctioned in minority-dominated districts. 32,250 EGS centres with a total enrolment of 120.90 lakh children have been sanctioned for 2006-07. Sanction has also been accorded for enrolment of 11.25 lakh children in Alternative & Innovative Education (AIE) during 2006-07 in these districts. Madrasas/Makhtabs have been covered under SSA. The Madarsas affiliated to the State Madarasa Boards and satisfying certain conditions are eligible for such assistance as is available to other regular schools under SSA. So far 8309 madarsas have been assisted. Facilities for minority girls Free textbooks are provided to all minority girls from classes I-VIII. Urdu textbooks are provided for Urdu medium schools and for Urdu as a subject. Based on the 1981 Census, 93 districts (now 99) in 16 states have been identified for focused attention. The major focus is on the states of Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Assam. Out of the 1180 Kasturba
CHANAKYA NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY Page 16

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES

Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBV), 210 schools have been sanctioned in minority blocks, 1430 minority girls have already been enrolled in KGBVs till 31.3.06. Minority Concentration districts In addition to above measures, there is also a special focus on 93 districts, which was found to be having more than 20% Minority population in the 1981 census, for SSA investments in 2005-06 and 2006-07. This included other religious communities like Christians, Hindus or Sikhs living as minorities in different parts of India Sachar Committees recommendations in the sphere of education include a special focus on free and compulsory education; institutionalizing the process of evaluating school textbooks so that they better reflect community-specific sensitivities; setting up quality government schools, especially for girls in areas of Minority concentration; and providing priming education in Urdu or native language in areas where the language is widely in use.

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES CRITICISM

Indian media expert[15] Dasu Krishnamoorti has criticized the way the media has handled the report. He criticizes them saying that "Positive journalism means projecting the Muslims as us and not them".[16]. Sunil Jain in an article in rediff says "The problem with all such data, however, is that you need to "normalise" it for any meaningful conclusions to be made. Sachar does this only partially"[17], and that rather than basing its results on the entire population of Muslims, the Report should only have considered those Muslims with a college degree. In addition, the request made by the Sachar Committee for information pertaining to Muslims soldiers in the Indian Army to bring about a greater representation have been severely criticized by members of the Indian Armed Forces as well as BJP political party. Retired Colonel Anil Athale of the Indian Army comments that it is vital that the Indian Armed forces remain secular and not give preference to anybody irrespective of religion, and that the Sachar Committee seeks to undermine that legacy.[1] However, Dr. Sachar replied to this criticism saying that it was an uncalled for attempt to communalise a non-issue. The Sachar commission findings were later alleged by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to be manipulated for electoral purposes.[18]

SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT ON MINORITIES

RESPONSES FROM ORGANISATIONS AND POLITICAL PARTIES

Syed Shahabuddin, the former MP from Janata Dal says Sachar Committee has collected the facts and figures more than suffice. But it should have put forward some concrete resolution like Minority Reservation if needed.[19].

BJP representative Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has said

Sachar committee was created for vote-bank reasons. It was designed to serve a political purpose especially ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.[18] and elsewhere BJP leaders have given statements and have said that the report is "distorted, politically motivated and dangerous"[20][21]. BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi said that the tone and texture of the Sachar Committee "has a striking similarity to the Muslim League of preindependence era. Unfortunately, the government is irrationally following a policy of blind populism which threatens to divide the nation."[20]. However, BJP leaders like Sudheedra Kulkarni have criticized the leadership for dismissing the report outright instead of addressing it[22]. As a chief election strategist in 2009, the BJP election manifesto included steps to be taken on minority communities and improving their situation which were similar to the Sachar committee recommendations in many ways [23].

The JD(U)party president, which is a senior member of the NDA coalition along with BJP, Sharad Yadav has strongly voiced his support and demanded quick implementation of the committee findings. He also emphasised the importance of including Dalit Muslims and Christians in the SC category as they are the only communities that are being discriminated against for the past 60 years[24]. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has also urged the government to table the bill for implementing the committee findings even if an emergency session has to be called.[25]
