Revised reservation policy implemented in 8 tribal-dominated districts of Maharashtra

The Maharashtra government has finalised a revised reservation policy and roster for Group C and Group D posts at the district level in eight tribal-dominated districts. A government resolution in this regard has been issued by the Social Justice Department. 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.
