Karnataka issues notification to implement enhanced reservation for SC/STs- Education News
The Karnataka government has issued a notification directing the implementation of a 17 per cent enhanced reservation for the Scheduled Castes and 7 per cent for the Scheduled Tribes from Tuesday on the occasion of Kannada Rajyotsava day. However, the bureaucrats have said that there was no clarity on the notification issued for the implementation and that the ambiguities need to be ironed out first. The notification says that its directions regarding the enhancement of reservations must be implemented from November 1. But, after implementing the enhanced reservation, the total reservations will rise to 56 per cent in the state, said the senior bureaucrats.
The roasters have to be reworked and under legal provisions also, the implementation of enhancement of reservations was not simple, they said.
The Social Welfare Department has issued a notification and has given directions for implementing the ordinance by the state government. The notification had been given to the heads of all departments, universities, academic institutions, corporations, boards, commissions, government undertakings, the secretary of the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) and the CEO of Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA). As per the ordinance promulgated by the ruling BJP government, the enhanced reservation will also apply to educational institutions run by the government, aided schools and colleges and will also apply to the admissions of students.
