TG SC Categorization | SC Reservation | Praveen Sir's Current Affairs | Merit Minds

Telangana’s government Monday issued a gazette notification that formally implemented Scheduled Caste sub-categorisation, popularly called reservation within reservation. According to the notification, Scheduled Castes in the state will be divided into three categories – Group I, II and III. The Gazette notification, which implemented the Scheduled Castes (Rationalisation of Reservation) Act, 2025, shows that Group I will get 1 percent reservation within the 15 percent quota for SCs; Group II will get 9 percent reservation; and Group III will get 5 percent reservation. Group I consists of 15 socio-economically backward castes, Group II has 18 and Group III has 26 such castes. With this, Telangana becomes first state to implement SC sub-categorisation. This comes months after a seven-judge Constitution Bench allowed further sub-classification of SCs and STs to ensure grant of quota to more backward castes inside these groups ......................................................................... #currentaffairs #praveensir #tgpscgroup2 #appsc #appscgroup2 #appsc_preparation #appscgroup2mains #appscgroup2latestnews #screservation #sccatogory
