Punjab doubles OBC quota in educational institutes to 10%
Captain Amarinder Singh-led Punjab government on Wednesday doubled the quota for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in educational institutes from 5% to 10%. "The move aims to uplift [OBCs], which suffered extreme suppression...in the past 10 years of the SAD-BJP misrule," a government spokesman said. However, this will not impact the quota for the Scheduled Castes, and the Scheduled Tribes.
