The ordinance was approved by the cabinet on 15 April by the cabinet headed by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
Andhra Pradesh on Thursday issued an ordinance to give reservation within Scheduled Castes (SC) reservation. A total of 59 SC castes get 15% reservation in the state. Last year, the Supreme Court allowed states to give quota in SC and Scheduled Tribes (ST) quota.
In the ordinance of Andhra Pradesh, SC castes have been divided into three groups for government jobs and reservation in educational institutions. In this, 12 castes like Chandala, Paki, Rail, Dome have 1% reservation with Group-I, Chamar, Madiga, Sindhola, Matangi, with 6.5% reservation in Group-II and castes like Mala, Adhra, Panchama have been kept in Group-III with 7.5% reservation.
In December last year, the Andhra Pradesh government appointed retired IAS Rajiv Ranjan Mishra as a member commission to quota in SC quota. The commission had reported on the basis of the 2011 census, which was sent to the Center.
Telangana and Haryana have already implemented quota in quota Earlier, Telangana and Haryana governments have implemented quota in SC quota. Telangana issued an order on 14 April and divided the SC castes into three groups. For this, the state government had set up a commission in October 2024 under the chairmanship of Retired Judge Shamim Akhtar of the High Court.
At the same time, after forming the BJP government for the third time in Haryana, CM Naib Singh Saini decided to give quota in SC and St quota in the first cabinet meeting. The state has 15% reservation for SC and 7.5% for ST.
Haryana CM Naib Singh Saini had informed about the decision after the cabinet meeting held on October 19, 2024.
Telangana announced 42% reservation to OBC On March 17, 2025, CM Revanth Reddy of Telangana announced to increase the reservation of Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the state from 23% to 42%. If this is implemented, the reservation limit in the state will be 62%. This will be more than the 50% reservation limit fixed from the Supreme Court.
Telangana CM had said in the assembly- We will also take necessary legal help to increase OBC reservation 42%. We will not sit calm until 42% reservation for backward classes is obtained.
The Supreme Court reversed a 20 -year -old decision On August 1, 2024, the Supreme Court gave the states constitutional rights to do sub-classifications within SC and ST castes. Its purpose was to give the benefit of reservation to socially and educationally backward castes.
The seven -judge constitution bench ruled with a majority of 6: 1. The bench had rejected the decision of the Constitution Bench of five judges in the 2004 EV Chinnaiya vs Andhra Pradesh case. In the 2004 judgment, the court said that SC castes are a group in themselves. The castes involved in this cannot be divided on the basis of caste. Read full news …
