Whereas, with a view to protect rights of minorities conferred under the Constitution of India and for implementation of policies and programmes relating to such rights, in the State of Bihar, an enactment known as Bihar State Minorities Commission Act, 1991 is in existence.
Whereas, in the existing Act, minorities have been defined to mean religious and linguistic minorities, who have been so recognized by the Government.
