Government Plans To Push Ahead With SC/ST Quota In Promotions
People from the SC, ST community protesting for reservation in promotions
The centre is planning to push ahead with its plan to provide reservation in promotions to government employees belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. This comes after a report prepared by the department of personnel and training (DoPT) claimed that reservation in promotions is necessary “for equal opportunity and inclusive growth”.
The recommendations were made by the DoPT following a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in March 2016 to deal with several judicial orders against reservation in promotions based on a Constitution bench verdict in the 2006 M Nagraj case.
The 2006 order stated that reservation in promotions could only be offered if the beneficiary fulfills the conditions of ‘backwardness’, belongs to a community that has ‘inadequate representation’ and displays ‘administrative efficiency’.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
