Ahead
of Lok Sabha polls, the government decided to include the Jat community
in the central list of OBCs in nine states, a move that is expected to
benefit about nine crore people from the community. The decision would
pave the way for the community members to avail benefits of reservation
in central government jobs and central education institutions as per the
existing norms. The Central list of OBCs for the states of Bihar,
Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya pradesh, Rajasthan,
Uttarrakhand, Uttar Pradesh and the National capital territory of Delhi will include the Jat community.
Ajit Singh, Vasundhara welcome Cabinet nod for Jat reservation. Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said Jats all over Rajasthan were already getting the benefits of reservation in Central government jobs and educational institutions. “We had demanded inclusion of Jats from Bharatpur and Dholpur in the Central OBC list. So this is a victory for us”.
