Bhagwat Prasad Makwana was earlier a member of the Central Monitoring Committee constituted under which law?
- A.The Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act, 1993
- B.The Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013
- C.The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989
- D.The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013. Makwana served as a member of the Central Monitoring Committee constituted under that Act before taking charge of the national commission, and this experience sits alongside his tenure in the Uttarakhand commission and his time as an Independent Director on the Board of NHPC. Option A names the earlier law of 1993 on the same subject, which is the strongest distractor because both statutes deal with manual scavenging and candidates often remember only the theme. Option C, the atrocities law of 1989, and option D, the civil rights law of 1955, are genuine statutes that protect Scheduled Caste communities, so they look plausible in a question about a leader with that background, but neither sets up the committee referred to here. Fix the year 2013 with the word rehabilitation.
