Maharashtra cabinet has cleared reservation for Maratha community in educational institutes and Jobs.
Recent decision:
The Maratha community will get reservation under a new category called SEBC (Socially and Economically Backward).
The community will get reservation from an independent quota and this will not affect the reservations given to the Other Backward Class (OBC).
A sub-committee of the state cabinet has been formed which will look into all the other aspects to give reservation to the Marathas.
Background:
The decision was taken after the state cabinet accepted the report submitted by the State Commission for Backward Class headed by chairman Justice (retired) M G Gaikwad. The report was submitted to state Chief Secretary on November 15, 2018.
to the report, Marathas are socially and educationally backward class. Extra-ordinary and exceptional circumstances prevail among the Marathas, which makes them eligible for the benefits of reservation.
