Rajasthan Govt to Provide 6% Reservation to Most Backward Castes Among OBCs

GG News Bureau

Jaipur, 10th Aug. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot stated on Wednesday that the Rajasthan government will provide 6% reservation to the Most Backward Castes among the OBCs.

This will be in addition to the state’s existing 21 percent reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

“A survey will be conducted by the OBC commission to identify the most backward castes in the OBC category and the commission will submit the report in a time-bound manner,” Gehlot tweeted on Wednesday night.

“With this, the most backward castes will get more opportunities for education and government jobs,” he tweeted.

Gehlot stated that many SC and ST organizations are constantly seeking population-based reservation, and the government is looking into the demand.

The Chief Minister said that in the 10 percent reservation for the EWS category, the Rajasthan government had removed the condition of immovable property due to which this class could get the benefit of reservation completely.
