OBC Creamy Layer Concept Will Also Be Applicable In Psus - Nirmal Singh Lotus


The famous creamy layer OBC concept will now be extended to PSUs and financial institutions in the country, Arun Jaitley said.
It has been more than 24 years since the OBC creamy layer was introduced by the government. On Wednesday, the Union Cabinet revealed that the government had been planning to extend the reservations further. The concept of creamy layer in OBC was just limited to central government but now the limit of Rs 8 lakh will now applicable for financial institutes and Public Sector Undertakings [PSUs]. - Nirmal Singh Lotus

Nirmal Singh Lotus says the annual ceiling limit was raised from 6 lakh to 8 lakh last week and this week, it is being reported that the reservations for other backward classes [OBC] will be extended.

The reservations are decided on the basis of the status and income of the applicants in 1993. The fact that the creamy layer didn’t extend to financial institutes and public sector undertakings didn’t sit well with the government. To provide more opportunities to OBC candidates, this step has been taken; which according to Nirmal Singh Lotus should have been taken years ago.

‘Both, the limit Rs 6 lakh and applications of the creamy layer reservation should have been extended years ago. The union ministers and the central government have been advising the cabinet for extending the limit and with the approval now final, the future looks brighter’, he said.
The cabinet has given its approval on the advice of the cabinet ministers who were in support of the extension. The limit that was changed last week from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 8 Lakh will now be applicable to not only the central government but also to financial institutions and public sector undertakings.
But the candidates whose parents were on constitutional posts [in group A and B] will be excluded, mentioned Nirmal Singh Lotus.

The Centre makes it mandatory for all aspiring medical students to appear for and pass the NEET exam, and that sees a number of seat aspirants thronging to the coaching centres. Until recently, coaching centres only catered to CBSE students but since now the state students have to pass the exam to be eligible to appear for medical seats, the numbers had incredibly shot up. “We haven’t started classes yet. We’re still enrolling students but there is almost a 50 per cent increase in number of students enquiring,” said an owner of a coaching centre in West Delhi. Many-a-places, there is a limit on the number of students per batch so even if the number of aspirants increase, it still would not see a change in the number of students in the class. “We only take a maximum of 45 students, so we’re not accepting any more. But this time, the volume of calls I turned down was much higher than last year,” said the director of Pioneer Academy, Raja Rajasekaran. Most coaching cen...
