Based on caste survey, Bihar to increase quota

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 8 November 2023
The Bihar government has decided to increase the job reservation for marginalized communities from 50% to 65% based on the Bihar Caste Survey Report. This increase, along with a 10% quota for economically weaker sections, brings the total quota in Bihar to 75%. The new quota allocation is based on the population proportion of each group, with 20% for Scheduled Castes, 2% for Scheduled Tribes, and 43% for backward classes and extremely backward classes. This move by the government is supported by the caste-based headcount and aims to fend off legal challenges.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "... Budget of health and education ministries have been reduced, so I asked them the reason. There is no politics in this. Two states have been given favourable treatment to satisfy their coalition partners. We know this is how it works and we also have the right to protest against it... I am happy for the people of Bihar for getting such a generous package. It is a very big deal... 3 Congress and 1 DMK Chief Minister said they would not attend the NITI Aayog meeting because there was nothing for their states in the budget...
