The Gujarat government has submitted to the Centre its detailed proposal on implementation of 10 per cent reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in all technical and professional government, grant-in-aid and self-financed institutes from 2019-20 academic session.
Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel Wednesday said Gujarat will be among the first states to implement the 10% quota from the new academic session. “Under this, as per the earlier decision of the state government, children from families with an income limit of Rs 8 lakh and those who are not availing any other reservation or scholarship, will be benefitted.”
