SCHEDULED CASTE AND SCHEDULED TRIBE (PREVENTION OF ATROCITIES) ACT, 1989

In the intricate fabric of Indian society, the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) embody communities historically burdened by marginalization and social exclusion. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (POA Act) serves as a formidable bulwark, safeguarding these communities against egregious acts of violence, discrimination, and exploitation.
