Well, recently, a task force was set up as well, headed by Dr Subra, the HR minister. Its known as the Special Implementation Taskforce which will be reporting to the cabinet committee. Its purpose is “to monitor and strengthen service delivery and implementation to ensure that poor and low-income Indians take part in government programmes”.
Tamil Nesan reported that the Prime Minister’s Office will monitor efforts to help the poor and low-income groups in the Indian community through a taskforce.It said the taskforce would ensure that the groups could benefit from the Government’s efforts to help them in poverty eradication programmes, getting affordable housing and participating in educational programmes.Dr Denison Jayasooria has been appointed secretary of the task force while Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam, who is also a member of the Cabinet Committee on Indian affairs, would head the task force.He said the formation of the task force proved the Government’s commitment in assisting the community.
I hope the taskforce will come out with regular reports to indicate what they have done.
