A Dalit wrote the most
important policy document of the nation, our Constitution. But 68 years on,
there have been very few IAS officers from SC/ST categories in the highest
echelons of policy-making. It has been observed that officers from the Dalit
community seldom reach the rank of Secretary. There are many factors. What
happens when a Dalit reaches the rank but is assigned to an inconsequential
ministry? There are at least four serving Dalit secretaries in the government
but, intentionally or unintentionally, they have been sidelined in
insignificant departments or commissions. Lalit K Panwar, a 1979-batch
Rajasthan-cadre IAS officer, known for his skills and efficiency, has been
posted as Secretary, Minority Affairs.
