Relief for SC-ST families: Fadnavis cabinet clears landmark decision; heirs of those killed in atrocities to get govt jobs in 90 days
- Advertisement -
In a bold move aimed at offering relief to marginalised communities, the Maharashtra government has announced that heirs of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe victims who die in cases registered under the Atrocity Act will be entitled to government or semi-government jobs within 90 days of the FIR or chargesheet being filed.
The decision comes at a time when discontent has been brewing within SC communities over internal classification issues. For years, activists had demanded such a measure, staging repeated protests and campaigns. Now, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s government has delivered, bringing significant relief to families who have long sought justice beyond the courtroom.
Under the new policy, one eligible heir of the deceased will be appointed to Group C or Group D posts in government or semi-government establishments. The social justice department has issued a government resolution detailing the procedure.
Jobs within 90 days of FIR or chargesheet
The resolution specifies that employment will be granted within 90 days of either the filing of a chargesheet or, in cases where chargesheets are delayed, within 90 days of the FIR. Crucially, the appointment will remain valid regardless of the eventual court verdict.
Appointments will be made in the establishments of the social justice and tribal development departments, in Group C and Group D posts outside the purview of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission, and in clerical posts within its purview.
Eligibility and conditions
The government has laid down educational qualifications and age limits for applicants. Consent letters from other family members will be required, along with an affidavit pledging responsibility for the care of remaining dependents. Importantly, restrictions on recruitment or reservation quotas will not apply to these appointments.
Who can claim the job?
- The deceased’s spouse.
- Married or unmarried son or daughter, including legally adopted children.
- Daughter-in-law, if the deceased’s son is not alive or not eligible.
- Divorced, widowed or abandoned daughter or sister.
- Brother or sister, if the deceased was unmarried.
- If the spouse is alive, they alone hold the right to nominate themselves without requiring consent from other heirs. In cases where the spouse is not alive, one eligible heir may be appointed, subject to no-objection certificates from other family members.
Impact so far
By July 2025, 133 atrocity-related deaths had been recorded. Of these, 44 families have already received jobs under the scheme, while 738 cases remain pending, arranged in a waiting list according to the date of the incident.
This landmark decision is being seen as a strong political and social message: the state will not only prosecute atrocity crimes but also ensure that families of victims are supported with livelihood security. For communities long demanding recognition and relief, the announcement marks a turning point in the fight for dignity and justice.

The Maharashtra government has taken several initiatives over the years to honour Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and preserve his legacy. Here are some of the major ones:
---
Key Maharashtra Government Initiatives to Honour Dr. Ambedkar
1. Statue / Memorial at Indu Mill (Statue of Equality)
Maharashtra approved a large memorial on the Indu Mill compound in Dadar, Mumbai, dedicated to Ambedkar.
The “Statue of Equality” is being built there: planned height ~ 137.3 m (including pedestal) making it one of the tallest statues.
The design includes a stupa, interactive library, meditation hall, and more.
2. Chaitya Bhoomi – A-Class Pilgrimage Site
Chaitya Bhoomi (in Dadar, Mumbai), where Ambedkar was cremated, has been granted “A-class pilgrimage and tourist destination” status by the Maharashtra government.
This helps in better development, maintenance, and recognition of the site.
3. 125th Birth Anniversary “Equality and Social Justice Year”
For Ambedkar’s 125th birth anniversary (2015–2016), the Maharashtra government earmarked ₹125 crore for various programs.
These programs included promoting research on Ambedkar’s life and ideas, encouraging Dalit entrepreneurship, setting up hostels for working women from Scheduled Castes, etc.
They also planned to develop locations associated with Ambedkar as tourist / cultural spots.
4. Revival of Educational Institutions Founded by Ambedkar
In October 2025, the state government approved a ₹500 crore plan to restore and renovate educational institutions and hostels that were founded by Ambedkar under the People’s Education Society.
This includes 9 educational institutions and 2 hostels.
5. Slum Redevelopment: Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar
The Maharashtra government (via MMRDA and SRA) has launched a massive slum redevelopment project for Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar and Kamraj Nagar in Ghatkopar, Mumbai.
The plan is to build ~17,000 homes.
In 2025, CM directed completion of the first phase in 2 years.
6. Development of Ambedkar-Related Heritage Sites (“Ambedkar Circuit”)
As part of Ambedkar’s commemoration, the state plans to develop a circuit of iconic places associated with him (places important in his life) into tourist / heritage destinations.
For example, Shantivan (in Nagpur) is being developed, with financial support from Maharashtra.
7. Governor and State-Level Recognition
High-level political recognition: The Governor of Maharashtra has made formal tributes to Ambedkar (e.g., Gaureesh at Chaitya Bhoomi).
Awards: There is mention of a Dr Ambedkar Ratna Award at state-level functions.
Why These Matter
Cultural and Symbolic Importance: Building a big memorial, giving pilgrimage status to Chaitya Bhoomi, and maintaining Ambedkar sites keeps his memory alive and visible.
Social Justice: Redevelopment of slums (especially places named after Ambedkar) is aligned with his vision — giving dignity and decent living to marginalized communities.
Educational Legacy: Restoring institutions he founded helps continue his mission of upliftment through education.
Tourism & Heritage: By making Ambedkar-related sites part of a heritage circuit, the government not only preserves history but also promotes tourism and education.

“Dr Ambedkar House” in London
1. Location & Background
The house is at 10 King Henry’s Road, NW3, London.
This is where Dr. B. R. Ambedkar lived in 1921–22 when he was studying at the London School of Economics (LSE).
The property is about 2,050 sq ft.
2. Purchase & Purpose
The Maharashtra government (India) bought the property.
Part of the plan was to convert it into an international memorial.
There was also a proposal to provide residential space (“hostel”) for Indian students:
> “to use one of the floors as a transitory residence for Indian students who arrive in the UK to study.”
According to earlier reports, four rooms might be made available for Dalit students on scholarship, and one bedroom for visiting professors.
3. Current Status / Controversies
There has been a planning dispute with Camden Council: the local authority said the property “does not have permission to be used as a museum” and argued it should be returned to residential use.
The UK Government (via a planning inspector) is involved in deciding the appeal.
The house has been refurbished and opened to the public as a memorial / museum.
4. Ambedkar’s Connection to Gray’s Inn
Dr. Ambedkar was a member of Gray’s Inn (one of the Inns of Court in London).
Gray’s Inn now has an Ambedkar Room, dedicated in his honor.
