Vimukt Jati Community Members from Across UP to Participate
Minister of State for Social Welfare (Independent Charge) Aseem Arun said that members of the Vimukt Jati community from across Uttar Pradesh will participate in the upcoming event, which will serve as a symbol of social inclusion and empowerment.
Yogi Government Drives Education, Health, and Employment Schemes
He recalled that on August 31, 1952, the Government of India abolished the draconian Criminal Tribes Act, a colonial-era law that had unjustly branded several communities as criminals and deprived them of their basic rights.

For the upliftment of Vimukt Jati communities, the Yogi government is implementing several schemes in the field of education, health, and employment.
Land Allotment and Self-Reliance Initiatives
To make the communities self-reliant, the state government is allotting them land on lease. Under the leadership of CM Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh government has prioritized inclusive development for Vimukt Jati communities.

Focus on Inclusive Development and Future Opportunities
Minister Aseem Arun stated that the Yogi government aims to integrate the Vimukt Jati community into mainstream society, ensuring their children gain access to higher education and administrative services.
