The Rajasthan Backward Classes (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions in the State and of Appointments and Posts in Services under the State) Act, 2017
The Rajasthan Backward Classes (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions in the State and of Appointments and Posts in Services under the State) Act, 2017, establishes a 5% reservation quota for "More Backward Classes" in state-run educational institutions and government services. It aims to promote social equity by providing specific opportunities to these groups. Crucially, the Act explicitly excludes individuals belonging to the "creamy layer" from accessing these reserved benefits. It also outlines the process for amending the list of eligible classes and repeals the previous 2015 legislation, ensuring a structured legal framework for affirmative action within the state of Rajasthan.
