Internal quota: Karnataka govt. notifies new ratio

While the State government has notified the new ratio slicing up 15% reservation among the 101 Scheduled Castes in the State, doubts have been expressed over how the roster points system and introduction of “Scheduled Castes General” would practically work out.

The government on Monday notified the decisions of the special Cabinet meeting held on Friday providing 5.25% each to Dalit Left (Madiga and allied castes) and Dalit Right (Holeya and allied castes), and 4.5% to “touchable” castes of Lambanis, Bhovis, Koramas, and Korachas along with 49 nomadic castes and 10 micro communities.
