Maharashtra ki samajik nyay neeti mein ek bada sudhaar karte huye Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) ke liye arakshan ka naya dhancha laagu kiya gaya hai. Ye kadam ek lambi ladaai ke baad uthaya gaya hai, jiska mukhya maksad Maratha samuday ke un tabkon ko haq dena hai jo sach mein pichde aur vanchit hain. Saal 2018 mein, Devendra Fadnavis sarkar ne Maratha samuday ko SEBC category mein shamil karke pehli baar 16% reservation diya tha, lekin 2021 mein Supreme Court ne ise radd kar diya. Iske baad 2024 mein Mahayuti sarkar ne sarvsammati se ek naya kanoon pass kiya jo 10% reservation ka pravdhan karta hai. Ab isi reservation ko sahi dhang se implement karne ke liye, rajya ke aath tribal-dominated districts mein Group C aur Group D ki sarkari naukriyon ke liye quotas ko phir se nirdharit kiya gaya hai.
23 May 2025 ko, rajya sarkar ne Revenue Minister ki adhyakshata mein ek Cabinet Sub-Committee banayi taaki in districts ke liye revised point lists taiyaar ki ja sakein. Is committee ne SC, ST, OBC, EWS aur naye SEBC varg ki abadi ka bariki se adhyayan kiya aur apni report peish ki. Isi report ke aadhar par, 29 July 2025 ko sarkar ne in aath zilon ke liye naye reservation quotas ka elaan kar diya.
What is SEBC Reservation?
SEBC yaani “Socially and Educationally Backward Classes” ek aisi statutory category hai jise 2018 aur 2024 ke kanoon dwara banaya gaya hai. Isme wo log shamil hain jo samajik, shaikshanik aur arthik roop se pichde hain. Fadnavis sarkar ne ye category khas taur par Maratha samuday ke kamzor tabkon ke liye banayi thi. Maharashtra mein filhal revised reservation ratios kuch is tarah hain: Scheduled Castes 13%, Scheduled Tribes 7%, OBC 19%, SEBC 10%, aur EWS 10%. Log aksar SEBC aur EWS mein confuse ho jate hain, lekin bada antar ye hai ki SEBC candidates ka Maratha samuday se hona zaroori hai, jabki EWS candidates general category se hote hain.
Revised Reservation for Eight Tribal Districts
Sarkar ne jin aath zilon (Palghar, Nashik, Dhule, Nandurbar, Yavatmal, Gadchiroli, Raigad, aur Chandrapur) ke liye naye quota jaari kiye hain, wahan ki sthiti abadi ke hisab se alag-alag hai:
- Gadchiroli District: Yahan Scheduled Castes ke liye 12%, Scheduled Tribes ke liye 24%, OBC ke liye 17% aur SEBC wa EWS dono ke liye 8-8% reservation fix kiya gaya hai.
- Chandrapur District: Is zile mein SC ko 13%, ST ko 15%, OBC ko 19% aur SEBC-EWS ko 8-8% ka quota mila hai.
- Yavatmal District: Yahan SC ke liye 12%, ST ke liye 14%, OBC ke liye 17% aur SEBC ke liye 8% reservation tay hua hai.
- Raigad District: Is kshetr mein SC 12%, ST 9%, OBC 19% aur SEBC ke liye 10% arakshan rakha gaya hai.
- Nashik, Dhule, Nandurbar, aur Palghar: In charon tribal zilon mein SC ko 10%, ST ko 22%, OBC ko 15% aur SEBC-EWS ko 8-8% quota diya gaya hai.
Ye naya point list system Maratha arakshan ki mang ko suljhane aur samaj ke har varg ko barabar avsar dene ki ek gambhir koshish hai. Devendra Fadnavis sarkar ka ye faisla dikhata hai ki wo kisi bhi samuday mein asantosh ko khatam karke sabko nyay dena chahti hai. Halanki abhi ise kanooni prakriyon se guzarna hoga, lekin ye samajik samanjasya ki disha mein ek bada kadam hai.
