Implementation of the said Act is the responsibility of
State Governments. They are addressed from time to time at the
highest level, to implement it, in letter and spirit. Its
implementation is also reviewed in high-level meetings with them.

With a view to ensure effective implementation of the Act, central
assistance is also provided to State Governments/Union Territory
Administrations, mainly for strengthening their enforcement and
judicial machinery, relief to atrocity victims, incentive for
inter-caste marriages and awareness generation.

This information was given by Shri. D. Napoleon, the Minister of State
for Social Justice & Empowerment, in a written reply to a question in
Rajya Sabha today.
