HRD to work out modalities for upper caste reservation

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The Ministry of Human Resource Development is working out modalities to implement 10% reservation for the “economically weaker” sections in higher educational institutions, sources have said. The Union Cabinet Monday cleared the 10 % quota in government jobs and education for the “economically weaker” sections, meeting a key demand of upper castes, a staunch BJP support base which has shown signs of a drift from the party. All the universities and educational institutions recognised by the University Grants Commission whether government run or private will have to implement the quota,” a source said. “While the initial estimates reflect that around 10 lakh seats will have to be added in institutions across the country, including central universities IITs and IIMs, among other prestigious higher educational institutions,” the source added.
