Do Dalits benefit from state initiatives?

Atrocity News posts a report from Karnataka:

“The Finance Department had failed to implement the directive of the Planning Commission to reserve 22 per cent of the funds for the development programmes of Dalits. It has instead earmarked only 12 per cent in 2006-07. Thus, out of Rs.16,166 crore it allocated only Rs.1,940 crore, and actually spent Rs. 1,026 crore,” he said. Unfortunately, some departments diverted funds for other purposes arguing that they were helping the Dalits by doing so.
