Revised reservation policy implemented in 8 tribal-dominated districts of Maharashtra
To suggest measures for prescribing revised reservations for socially and educationally backward classes in the tribal-dominated districts of Nashik, Dhule, Nandurbar, Palghar, Yavatmal, Raigad, Chandrapur and Gadchiroli, a cabinet sub-committee was formed under the chairmanship of Revenue Minister Bawankule.
The sub-committee included Food and Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal, Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate, School Education Minister Dadaji Bhuse, Other Backward Classes Welfare Minister Atul Save, and Tribal Development Minister Dr Ashok Uike, among others. The government has taken this decision based on the recommendations of the sub-committee. The new reservation roster will be implemented in these eight tribal-dominated districts.
The revised reservation for direct recruitment to Group-C and Group-D posts has been finalised after considering the existing reservation percentages and population of Other Backward Classes and Denotified Tribes/Nomadic Tribes in these districts, and the corresponding roster has been prescribed.
Under the Reservation for Socially and Educationally Backward Classes Act, 2024, the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) category has been granted a 10% reservation for direct recruitment in government services and admissions to educational institutions.

No Demolition Without Pucca Houses: CM
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta issued orders on Friday to all departments, including the railways and Delhi Development Authority, that no slum will be demolished in the city unless its residents are provided with pucca houses. Gupta said Delhi govt would amend the existing policy on JJ clusters, if required, and even move court to protect the housing rights of slum-dwellers. She added that nearly 50,000 flats built years ago for the economically weaker section (EWS) in outer areas of the city under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission would be renovated for slum dwellers. "Slums in Delhi are an inseparable part of the national capital, with residents living there for decades," Criticising the opposition for using slum-dwellers as a political vote bank, Gupta asserted her govt was making sincere efforts to ensure their rightful recognition as residents of Delhi.

While the govt claimed that the clusters were demolished on court orders, AAP accused BJP of going back on its electoral promise of "jahan jhuggi, wahan makan" and said govt could have moved court to stop people from being rendered homeless. Gupta said regular meetings were being held with various departments to provide permanent settlement to slum-dwellers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Emergency Generators in Speyside: (Prices May Surprise You) Emergency Generator | Search Ads Search Now Undo She added that the EWS houses were never allocated, rendering them uninhabitable over time. "The chief minister has announced that these flats will now be handed over to slum dwellers under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban. DUSIB and DSIIDC were allocated Rs 732 crore for housing, which remained unutilised and was to be returned to the Centre. Central govt has now approved their use for the renovation of these dilapidated flats," said an official. Gupta accused the previous govts of treating slum dwellers as a vote bank. "These settlements neither have drinking water nor roads, pavements, proper drainage and sewage system," CM said. AAP Delhi convener Saurabh Bharadwaj said CM and her party were "bluffing" the slum dwellers for many months now. "If Rekha Gupta is actually serious about what she is saying, she should ask central govt and its agencies to withdraw the cases against these JJ clusters in the high court and Supreme Court," Bharadwaj said. "On one hand, these agencies are going to the courts against poor people; on the other hand, they are not even providing them with any alternative places to live," he claimed.

WBJEE 2025 Results To Be Declared On August 7, Confirms Board
Last Updated: WBJEE board chairperson Sonali Chakraborty Banerjee informed reporters that the results will be declared on August 7. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Board (WBJEE) announced on Thursday that the results for this year's entrance exam will be released on August 7, following a delay of over a month. The results publication was enabled by the Supreme Court's July 28 order, which stayed the Calcutta High Court's previous decision to halt the implementation of a revised list of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) notified by the state government. WBJEE board chairperson Sonali Chakraborty Banerjee informed reporters that the results will be declared on August 7, reported PTI. 'From today (July 31), candidates will have to upload details about their caste category certificate in the relevant section of WBJEE portal till August 2. The board will sort out the data and incorporate updates of every candidate before coming up with the results," she stated. 'We are sure the process (of uploading details) will be over by the stipulated time and the results will be published on August 7," the WBJEE chairperson added. A senior higher education department official explained, 'The decision to update every candidate's profile with caste category details have been taken after consulting legal experts." The WBJEE exam took place on April 27. On July 28, a Supreme Court bench consisting of Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justices K Vinod Chandran and NV Anjaria, during the hearing of the state government's appeal, vacated the high court's stay and remarked that 'prima facie, the high court order seems to be erroneous." On June 17, the Calcutta High Court had issued an interim stay on notifications by the state government regarding reservations to 140 subsections under OBC-A and OBC-B categories, the report added. The state had prepared the new list after the high court, in May 2024, nullified the inclusion of 77 communities in the OBC list. Steps to Check WBJEE 2025 Results: Step 1.
