Maharashtra Government has announced a 4% reservation for Divyang employees in promotions.
The state cabinet has decided that this reservation will apply for those cadres in which the proportion of recruitment through direct service is not more than 75 percent.
This decision is on the lines of the similar one taken by the Central government.
The Cabinet also decided that women belonging to the Open and the backward categories need not produce the non-creamy layer certificate for posts reserved for them under the Open category.
In December 2022, Maharashtra became the first state in the country to set up a Divyang department for the welfare of differently-abled people.
The decision for the reservation in promotion for Divyang people was taken at a cabinet meeting.
The cabinet meeting also reportedly decided that the ‘Open’ and ‘Backward’ categories would no longer be required to produce the non-creamy layer certificate for posts reserved for them under the Open category.
