'Most Sachar Committee recommendations implemented by Centre'

BHOPAL: Most of the recommendations by Sachar Committee have been implemented by the Centre, Union Minority Affairs Minister K Rahman Khan said on Sunday.


As many as 67 Sachar Committee recommendations have already been implemented and only three are pending. Efforts are on to implement these suggestions also, he said, without elaborating.

The panel was set up in 2005 by the UPA government to prepare a report on the latest social, economic and educational condition of the Muslim community in the country. It was headed by former Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Rajinder Sachar.

The government is in the process of forming a committee to monitor use of Central funds given to the states, Khan said.
