Explanation:

The Union Cabinet has approved the proposal for Extension of tenure of the National Commission for Safai Karmacharis (NCSK) beyond 31.3.2019 for three years. The NCSK was established in the year 1993 as per the provisions of the NCSK Act 1993 initially for the period up to 31.3.1997. After that the tenure of the NCSK has been extended as a non-statutory body from time to time. The tenure of the present Commission is upto 31.3.2019. Hence statement 1 is wrong. Its mandate is to recommend to the Government regarding specific programmes for welfare of Safai Karamcharis, study and evaluate the existing welfare programmes for Safai Karamcharis, investigate cases of specific grievances etc. and to monitor the implementation of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act.
