    The Bihar Cabinet has approved a proposal to increase reservations in the state to 65% total from the current 50% quota, exceeding the Supreme Court's ceiling.

    Bihar seeks to raise quota to

    65% after tabling caste survey

    The Bihar Cabinet has approved a proposal to increase reservations in


    the State for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other
    Backward Classes (OBCs) and Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs) to
    65%, from the current 50% quota, crossing the ceiling set by the
    Supreme Court. A Bill to implement the hike will be introduced on
    November 9, during the ongoing Winter Session of the State Assembly.

    Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar proposed the hike hours after the
    caste survey report was tabled in the State Assembly.

    He proposed that SCs, who make up 19.7% of the population,


    according to the survey, should get a quota of 20%, higher than
    the current 16%. STs, who have a 1.7% share in the population,
    should see their reservation doubled from 1% to 2%, he said.

    OBCs make up 27% of the population and get a quota of 12%,


    while EBCs make up 36% of the population and get a quota of
    18%; Mr. Kumar proposed that both communities together
    should get a quota of 43%.
