Policy ‘adversely affecting interests of SCs and STs’, says Parliamentary Committee on Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in a report tabled Tuesday.
Earlier this week, state govt had tabled socio-economic data about the state’s population as part of caste survey. CM Nitish said quota hiked in accordance with their population.
Revised quota is apparently over and above Centre's 10% EWS reservation. Under this plan, reservation in Bihar could go up to 20% for SCs, 43% for OBCs and EBCs & 2% for STs.
The community, which gets 5% reservation, wants to be included in category of OBC communities getting 15%. Panchamasalis are the biggest sub-sect within Lingayats who back BJP.
Instead of veterans being taken as a united whole, they are likely to be divided into caste categories if the Rajasthan government accepts the demands of OBC groups.
These admissions went over & above the seats these central govt schools have. While education minister's quota was scrapped last year, MP quota was done away with this week.
The proposed changes were: Increasing annual income limit for quota eligibility to Rs 12 lakh from Rs 8 lakh, and making salaries part of the gross annual income yardstick.
