Goverment Scheme

Bihar Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has approved the state's new reservation bill which proposes to increase the quota for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Extremely Backward Classes (EBC) and Other Backward Classes (OBC). . In the new reservation bill, there is a provision to increase the scope of reservation to 65 percent. BJP has also given its support to the bill. A few days ago, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had proposed to increase the quota for backward classes, extremely backward classes and economically weaker sections (EWS) in the state to 75 percent. According to the order of the Supreme Court, the reservation limit cannot be increased by more than 50 percent. In such a situation, after the bill is passed by both the houses, the state government can send the proposal to the Centre.
