Karnataka Cabinet approves internal reservation for SCs

What Happened

Karnataka's Congress government implemented internal quotas for Scheduled Castes communities Friday, allocating 5.25% for SC 'left', 5.25% for SC 'right' including nomadic castes, and 4.50% for others within existing 15% SC quota. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah called the decision historic, unblocking stalled government recruitment. The move addresses demands from backward SC groups for better opportunities.
