State Government Committed to Providing 27% Reservation to Other Backward Classes: CM Dr. Yadav

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the government is working for the welfare of all sections of society. The state government is committed to providing 27% reservation to Other Backward Classes (OBCs). He stated that due to the confusion caused by the announcement of the reservation without a proper survey or preparation, the matter remained pending in court. Officers have been directed to present a bill in the Assembly based on factual and data-driven findings regarding the reservation.

CM Dr. Yadav added that the state government is actively working to extend the benefit of reservation to those who were left out under the existing 14% quota. In this regard, a 10% reservation for economically weaker sections (EWS) of the general category has also been implemented. Efforts will also be made to allow students who were unable to join due to court proceedings to now receive their appointments. He further said that the state government has resolved pending promotion cases of officers and employees. The process of the caste-based census has also been initiated following the initiative of Prime Minister Shri Modi. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav expressed these views during a media interaction at Samanvay Bhawan.
