Panel's suggestion on OBC quota

Says creamy layer should be excluded

New Delhi: Creamy layer among the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) should be excluded from the ambit of the quota for admission in aided institutions of higher learning, a Parliamentary Committee has said. A report of the Standing Committee on Human Resource Development, which is yet to be tabled in Parliament, has made the recommendation, according to sources.

The Committee , however, suggested that if there is a shortfall of the required 27 per cent of OBC students, the creamy layer among the OBCs should be considered for the reservation. A Bill on this was tabled during the last session of Parliament and referred to the committee.— PTI
