The Maharashtra Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers’ Cadre) Act, 2021

Language

Education20216 sections

This legislation requires that when hiring teachers for state-aided colleges and universities in Maharashtra, the government must set aside specific job quotas for candidates belonging to Socially Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Nomadic Tribes, and Economically Weaker Sections. It applies broadly to the major educational institutions operating under state aid, but strictly excludes minority educational institutions and certain research-focused institutes. By mandating these reservations, the Act aims to promote social justice and provide equal employment opportunities in the teaching profession for communities that have historically faced discrimination.
