Jammu: Laying stress on strict monitoring of
reservation policy aimed to benefit backward communities,
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said he
would not accept any laxity in this regard.
"I directed for strict monitoring of legal frame work aimed at ensuring benefits of reservation and other perks to SCs, STs and other backward sections of the society. No laxity in this regard will be acceptable," Omar said.
The CM said this after chairing a meeting of J&K State Advisory Board for the welfare and development of Scheduled Castes (SCs) here. He said equitable development of all sections of the society with focus on poorer sections is the policy of his government.
"We are determined to uplift the backward and poorer sections and bring them at par with affluent classes by providing equal opportunities for holistic progress," he said.
He also said scholarship standard needs to be expanded to cover more meritorious students under its ambit. "There should be different categories of merit for granting scholarships to the students of these sections ensuring higher rates for higher merit," he said.
