Claim: Comparison of income limits of different social groups to avail government facilities shows governments apathy towards SC/ST's.
Fact-check: An illogical comparison of income limits is shared to illustrate the government's alleged indifference towards Scheduled Castes - FACTLY
Verdict: the income limits pertaining to scs/sts are applicable for accessing government facilities such as scholarships whereas the income levels pertaining to obcs/ews are applicable for accessing reservations in general, i.e. reservation to them in admissions to educational institutions and recruitment to government jobs. the government has not established an income limit for scheduled castes or scheduled tribes for accessing reservations. thus, the comparison made in the viral post is illogical, as they serve different purposes. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
