Government of India has ensured 15% reservation for SCs, 7.5% for STs and 27% for the Other Backward Castes (OBCs) in higher education and in government jobs. Additional reservation has been provided by state governments. Recently, government (Union Cabinet of India) has decided to bring a bill to amend the Article 243(D) of the Constitution to enhance 50% reservation for women in all Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) except north-eastern hill states. At present, the Panchayati Raj Act provides for one third of the seats to be reserved for women.
