NEW DELHI / Bhubaneswar: The state government on Thursday passed a resolution in the Cabinet seeking to pass a reservation in higher education institutions such as medicine and engineering for students studying in government high schools. The Socio-Economic Backward Classes (SEBC) have been asked to provide space for education.
Mr. Pradhan has twice cited previous letters, dated January 15, 2020 and July 25, 2018, stating that the state government has set up a Bachelor of Arts Commission on February 12, 2020 at his request. However, the commission's report has not yet been submitted, and the request for reservations for the OBC category has not yet been implemented. However, in the interest of the people of Odisha, the state's OBCs and SEBCs are in favor of the population. Mr. Pradhan reiterated the need for action.
He said the major part of the state's population is the OBC and SEBC categories. So this category of people is deprived of opportunities in education and employment. As a result, their social and economic development has not improved. The central government has provided 24 per cent reservation in employment and education for the backward classes, while states like Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka have also introduced reservation for the caste population. However, the state government has been slow to take such positive action for OBCs and SEBCs in the state.
The state government has failed to keep pace with socio-economic development in the state without protecting the people of this category. The Chief Minister is hopeful that the Chief Minister will take positive steps to give priority to the large and marginalized society of Odisha, OBC and SEBC, in order to give them priority and provide proper protection in education and employment.
On January 15, 2020 and July 25, 2019, Union Minister Shri Pradhan also wrote to the Chief Minister urging him to take urgent steps to secure jobs and education for the OBC and SEBC categories.
