NEW DELHI:
A Constitution Amendment Bill that would provide for reservation for the socially and educationally backward classes, besides the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, in private unaided educational institutions — other than those run by the minority communities — is to be introduced in this session of Parliament. The Union Cabinet took this decision on Thursday.
Union Minister and Cabinet spokesman Priyaranjan Dasmunsi said the Bill sought to amend the Constitution by inserting a new clause (5) in Article 15 for the advancement of socially and educationally backward classes of citizens or for the SCs/STs.
The amendment would enable the States to provide for reservation for these categories.
