Orphans and destitute children, who have lost their parents before the age of ten, may get 2% reservation for employment in Kerala government service.
The Kerala State Commission for Backward Classes headed by G. Sasidharan, former judge of the Kerala High Court, made a recommendation to the State government in this regard.
The benefit will also be extended to those who are admitted to schools and orphanages either run or recognised by the government. However, children placed in foster care will not be considered for the reservation.
