The Jharkhand assembly today passed a bill to raise the total reservation offered to different categories to 77%. The Jharkhand Reservation of Vacancies in Posts and Services Act, 2001 was amended by the assembly during a special session, raising the reservations for STs, SCs, EBCs, OBCs, and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in government jobs from the present 60 per cent.
The bill proposes that the state will urge the Centre to amend the Constitution's Ninth Schedule. The bill was passed amid protests by MLAs of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. In the proposed reservation, local people of the SC community will get a quota of 12 per cent, STs will get 28 per cent, Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs) 15 per cent, OBCs 12 per cent, and EWS barring those from the other reserved categories 10 per cent.
