103rd Constitutional Amendment Act - 10% Quota for General Category

103rd Constitutional Amendment Act: President Ram Nath Kovind on 12th January 2019 gave his assent to the Constitution amendment that provides 10% reservation to the economically backward section in the general category in government jobs and education.

  • With the Ministry for Law and Justice issuing a notification about the Constitution (103 Amendment) Act, 2019 receiving the Presidential assent, reservation for the economically weaker among general category is now law.
  • The Act amends Articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution — ensuring Fundamental Rights to a citizen — by adding a clause that allows the State to make “special provision for the advancement of any economically weaker sections of citizens”.

These provisions would relate to “their admission to educational institutions, including private educational institutions, whether aided or unaided by the State, other than the minority educational institutions”.
