With the formation of this council, better monitoring of the implementation of schemes and programmes being run for the welfare of scheduled castes will be done besides getting meaningful consultation for the same.

The elected representative members of this class in the council will participate in resolving the problems of the people belonging to this category. This will make it easier to implement welfare programmes for the Scheduled Castes.
