'Police' and 'Public Order' are State subjects under the Seventh Schedule to  the  Constitution  of  India.  The  responsibility  of  maintaining  law  and order, protection of life and property of the citizens including SCs/STs rest with  the  respective  State  Governments.  The  State  Governments  are competent to deal with such offences under the extant provisions of laws. However, the Government is committed to ensure protection of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

Bureau  of  Police  Research  &  Development  (BPR&D)  conducts  training, courses and webinars from time to time for police personnel sensitizing them for effective implementation of PoA Act, 1989.

In addition, Government of India has issued advisories from time to time to implement the provisions of the POA Act and Rules in letter and spirit.
