BC JAC Urges Centre to Approve 42% Reservation Bill
The BC JAC, a group representing backward classes in Telangana, met with a central government minister to ask for approval of a new law that would give 42% of jobs and school spots to backward classes.
The Telangana state government already passed this law, and the BC JAC wants the central government to make it official.
They say this is important because backward classes face unfair treatment in jobs and education.
The central government is thinking about it but hasn't decided yet.
They also mentioned they might do a big survey about castes in India soon.
BC JAC urges Centre to approve 42% reservation bill passed by Telangana Assembly.
Delegation met Union Minister Virendra Kumar to submit memorandum with five key demands.
Bill passed unanimously in Telangana Assembly with support from multiple parties.
Supreme Court's 50% cap on reservations cited as obstacle to implementation.
Centre examining matter carefully, plans to conduct caste census from next year.
