Justice Sachar Committee Report : A Review After 10 Years

Dear Madam/Sir

The Sachar Committee, headed by Justice Rajindar Sachar, was constituted in 2005 by the then Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh to prepare a report about social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community in the country. Committee’s 403 page report was presented in the Lok Sabha on 30 November 2006. The findings and recommendations of the report immediately became a topic of sharp debate in political, social and intellectual circles. The report was considered to be a mirror showing the true picture of the Muslim community. Consequently, it received praise from a large part of intelligential as well as from political parties, although there were some dissenting voices too about the findings, recommendations and methodology of the report. 

The report has completed 10 years of its release on 30 November 2016. It would be interesting to review the progress of the report, particularly the implementation aspect of its recommendations, carried out by central and state governments in the last 10 years. 

Socialist Yuvjan Sabha (SYS), People’s Union for Civil Liberties (founded by socialist stalwart Jai Prakash Narayan) and Khudai Khidmatgar have organized a one-day seminar for this purpose.
