The Maharashtra government has provided one per cent reservation for orphans in education and jobs. A senior official said, the state cabinet had taken the decision in January, but the necessary government resolution was issued yesterday. According to the resolution, reservation is applicable to all state-level recruitments, across all levels from Class I to IV.
The persons who cannot trace their parents or any relative and do not know their caste will be eligible for the reservation. They should have the orphan certificate issued by the state government.
