OBC quota: Creamy layer excluded
Friday, 18 April, 2008
The Cabinet Committee of the Union Government has expressed its decision to exclude the creamy layer from the benefits of 27 per cent quota in higher educational institutions including IIts and IIMs in the country.
Earlier the SC Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Baakrishnan excluded the creamy layer among the OBCs from the quota benefit.
"Whatever the Supreme Court has suggested, we will try and implement it," said External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee. "The creamy layer concept was intended for job reservation ... The 93rd amendment is for educational opportunites to be open to all OBCs, including those belonging to the creamy layer," he added.
