The Jharkhand government on Wednesday gave its nod to a proposal for granting 77% reservation in State government jobs for the members of the SC, ST, backward classes, OBC and economically weaker sections, an official said.
The State cabinet, at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Hemant Soren, hiked the OBC reservation to 27% from the present 14%.
The Hemant Soren-led UPA government on Wednesday also gave its nod to a proposal to use the 1932 land records to determine those who are local inhabitants.
