Abstract

Caste-based social stratification is strong in India. Scheduled Castes (SCs) are weaker section of the society facing multiple inequities and discrimination in India. The state of Haryana has enacted Panchayati Raj (Amendment) Act, 2015, by which educational qualifications have been made mandatory to fight Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) elections since 2016. Based on secondary data collected from the Haryana Panchayati Raj Institutions Election Reports for the year 2010 and 2016, the study reveals that the share of elected SC PRIs increased from 22.94% in 2010 to 25.39% in 2016, after the introduction of educational qualifications for the PRIs election. Empowerment has been gauged on account of extra seats SCs have won than the seats reserved. SC PRIs empowerment composite score increased from 71.07 in 2010 to 116.55 in 2016. Mewat district had low educational level among rural SCs recorded highest PRIs empowerment index. The study highlights that the SCs, particularly of Panchkula, Kaithal, Sonipat and Jind districts require some motivational support to encourage their participation in PRIs elections.

印度排名表种姓赋权:2015年哈里亚纳邦村长(修订)法案的影响评估研究

以种姓为基础的社会分层在印度很严重。在册种姓是印度社会中面临多重不平等和歧视的弱势群体。哈里亚纳邦于2015年颁布了《潘查亚提拉吉(修正案)法》，自2016年以来，参加潘查亚提拉吉机构(PRIs)选举的人必须具备学历。根据2010年和2016年哈里亚纳邦Panchayati Raj机构选举报告收集的二手数据，该研究显示，在引入PRIs选举的教育资格后，当选SC PRIs的份额从2010年的22.94%增加到2016年的25.39%。赋权的衡量标准是，SCs赢得的席位比预留的席位多。SC PRIs赋权综合得分从2010年的71.07分上升到2016年的116.55分。梅瓦特地区的教育水平较低，农村SCs的PRIs赋权指数最高。该研究强调，特别在Panchkula、Kaithal、Sonipat和Jind地区的特别行政区需要一些激励支持，以鼓励他们参加PRIs选举。
