A low-down on the 10.5% quota for Vanniyars

The Hindu  

The DMK government, on July 26, issued an order enabling 10.5% special reservation for Vanniakula Kshatriyas in employment, within the overall quota of 20% for Most Backward Classes and Denotified Communities. The revised quota scheme is a sequel to the previous AIADMK regime framing the Special Reservation Act for Vanniyars, which came into effect on February 26, the day on which the Election Commission of India announced its schedule for the Assembly poll in Tamil Nadu and four other States. The law was framed after the State government consulted the chairman of the State Backward Classes Commission, M. Thanikachalam, on the possibility of providing internal reservation among MBCs and DNCs within 20%, to the Vanniyars. The AIADMK’s coordinator and former Deputy Chief Minister, O. Panneerselvam, termed the law provisional, because it was only after the completion of work by the one-man commission, compiling data on the State’s castes, that a final picture would emerge on the quantum of reservation for various communities.
