Bengaluru: In the midterity about leadership changes in Karnataka, the State Cabinet on Thursday decided to implement a reservation of 10% in education and work for the economically weaker part (EWS) among all the caste under the general category.
“People who are not included in the existing booking scheme for caste scheduled, scheduled tribes and social classes and education, with the income of the gross family under 8 lakh rs per year, will benefit from EWS reservations,” Minister Basavara Law Basavai said after a cabinet meeting.
The decision, which is expected to have major political resonance in the state, is being seen as one of the last important decisions taken by BS Yediyurappa at the government leadership.
The Minister of Welfare of the City of Srinivas City Backward Poojary said the decision to implement a 10% reservation for caste and community that was not included in the SC / ST or OBC category was the central step reiterasi.
The center has defined, with its own calculation, caste and community that can be provided reservations.
Thus, the state government also compiled a list of castees and communities that are not included in other quota, “he said.
The implementation of 10% reservation in Karnataka has experienced a large setback because the duplication of caste and society included in several quota or the other, while others were rejected At the premise that they were “not recognized” under a larger caste bracket.
“For example, GAUD Saraswat Brahmins (GSB) in coastal parts have a big problem to secure a reservation under a 10% quota because of the lack of clarity about who needs to be included and who To be excluded, “said Poojary.
CM Yediyurappa also approved a grant of RS 3,000 per hectare for every farmer to invest in increasing organic carbon in the soil.
Grants will reach a maximum of 2 hectares for every farmer.” Because scientists have advised the land government that loses carbon organic in Karnataka, we ensure that from sowing seeds to buy PU PUK Organic and maintain land cards, a total of Rs 3,000 per farmer per hectare for a maximum of 2 hectares will be provided, “said Bommai.
Bommai said the government had allocated Rs 75 Crore for this purpose, for a period of 5 years, and RS 10 Crore was released in this fiscal to this effort.
The Yediyurappa Cabinet also approved a cash health scheme from the Karnataka Arogya Sanjeevani scheme for employees of state government and their family members.
This will have financial implications of Rs 250 Crore per year, according to estimates.
In another decision, the cabinet approved scheme was related to the Yediyurappa Shivamogga home district, which was seen as a farewell gift for the district.
This includes 9.3 hectares of land approval for cattle protection communities, ayush universities and cancer centers in this district.
