Karnataka Cabinet Approves Internal Quota, Slicing SC Reservation Into 3 Categories
The Karnataka Cabinet adopted a formula allocating 6% reservation each to SC (Right) and SC (Left) categories, and 5% to other Scheduled Castes, following the Justice Nagmohan Das Commission report.
- The Karnataka Cabinet approved internal reservation by dividing the 17% Scheduled Castes quota into three categories on August 19, 2025.
- This decision followed the August 4 submission of the 1,766-page Justice Nagmohan Das Commission report that recommended sub-categorizing 101 SC castes after a two-month survey.
- The Cabinet allocated 6% each to SC Right and SC Left groups, and 5% to 'touchable' Dalit and other nomadic communities, altering some commission recommendations.
- Law Minister H K Patil called the two-and-a-half-hour meeting "fruitful" and said ministers representing all SC communities were satisfied with the historic decision.
- The ruling enables the issuance of fresh recruitment notifications and the formation of a permanent SC Commission to ensure equitable reservation implementation across SC communities.
