As various Jat organisations have again threatened to launch a country wide protest demanding reservation from June 5, the Haryana government Friday notified the Haryana Backward Classes (Reservation in Services and Admission in Educational Institutions) Act, 2016. Through the Act, the government shall now provide reservation in services and admission in educational institutions to persons belonging to backward classes in the State.
The Act provides 10 per cent reservation in service for Class III and IV posts and six per cent reservation in Class I and II posts to the Jat, Jat Sikhs, Ror, Bishnoi, Tyagi, Mulla Jat or Muslim Jat in Schedule III. It will also give 10 per cent reservation for admissions to educational institutions to people belonging to these castes.
