Stating that the State government is committed to implementing the recommendations of the Sadashiva Commission for providing internal reservation among Scheduled Castes, Home Minister G. Parameshwara said here on Sunday, December 24, that the State government will soon approach the Centre in this regard.
The Justice A.J. Sadashiva Inquiry Commission, which looked into methods of equitable distribution of reservation facilities among Scheduled Castes (SCs), had in its report in 2012 recommended internal reservation among the castes by broadly reclassifying all the 101 castes into four groups. As a suitable law has to be brought in by the Parliament to incorporate the recommendation, the commission had asked the State to take up the matter with the Union government.
The commission had recommended reclassification of all Scheduled Castes into four groups Right Community, Left Community, Touchables, and Other Scheduled Castes communities for equitable distribution of the overall reservation of 15% that is being given to Scheduled Castes. Of this reservation of 15%, the commission had recommended 6% to the Left Community, 5% to the Right Community, 3% to Touchables and one % to Other Scheduled Castes communities.
