The West Bengal government has declared 10 per cent reservation in employment for the Muslims who are educationally, socially and economically backward in the state.
“We have decided to accept the recommendations of the Ranganath Misra Commission and will take steps to implement it,” Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee told reporters at the state secretariat without waiting for the Centre’s decision on the report. He said like other states there was reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs in the state. The government, he said, had begun the process of identifying Muslims who were educationally, socially and economically backward.
“After identification, we will provide reservation to them under the OBC category,” the Chief Minister said.
