Now, quota in outsourcing

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh has become the country’s first State to introduce the system of reservation in outsourcing undertaken by the government and semi-government agencies. The reservation pattern will follow the quota system for the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes and the Other Backward Classes in government services.

Briefing newspersons on the Cabinet decision taken on Thursday, Chief Minister Mayawati said here on Friday that previously the works were done by government departments, corporations and boards before the practice of hiring private parties was introduced.

In December, the Chief Minister introduced the system of reservation in development works undertaken on the basis of the Public-Private Partnership model.

Earlier, on August 10, 2007, she took the decision on voluntary reservation (10 % for SCs, 10 % for OBCs and religious minorities and 10 % for poor among the FCs) by private players in sectors where the developers obtained special facilities and concessions from the State government.
