The two-day conference, inaugurated by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, brings together committee heads from across the country to deliberate on strengthening policies and welfare initiatives for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs).

Addressing the inaugural session, Birla emphasised the pivotal role of parliamentary committees and said that Parliamentary Committees are above party politics. They play an important role in shaping an inclusive India by protecting the interests of marginalised sections.
