Belagavi: The Karnataka Assembly on Monday passed a bill to hike reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC/ STs). The Government, a couple of months ago, had hiked reservation for SC communities from the existing 15 to 17 percent and that for ST communities from 3 to 7 percent.
However, there are some legal hurdles to be crossed, and to tide them over, the State Government will approach the Central Government to include a new law in the 9th Schedule of the Constitution.
