The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

1. It notes, in particular, information on the measures taken in respect of education, vocational training, employment and conditions of employment available to religious and ethnic minorities. The Committee would appreciate it if the Government would continue supplying information in this regard, including any reports or studies undertaken by the Minorities Affairs Wing of the Federal Ministry of Religious Affairs and Minorities Affairs, the Advisory Council for Minorities Affairs functioning under the auspices of the Ministry and District Minorities Committees referred to in the Government's report. The Committee requests the Government to supply information also on similar activities concerning the scheduled castes or backward classes.
