Parliament of India. It has contributed significantly to
provide the “freedom of choice” of work and dignified
work opportunities along with rights and entitlements
especially for the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes,
women, landless, and other marginalised groups that
depend on traditional caste-based occupations and
agricultural landlords in the villages for their livelihoods.
This has largely contributed to protecting their
self-respect and dignity in workspaces and helped
control migration. However, the deep-rooted caste

This paper examines the caste-based exclusion in the

follow-up action taken by the vigilance wing.
