Ranchi: The state government has decided to send the names of 36 OBC castes to the Union Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry so that they can be included in the central OBC list.
An official communique issued here on Saturday said that Chief Minister Hemant Soren has given his consent to the proposal after which names of these 36 castes which feature in BC-I and BC-II list of the state will be sent to the central ministry for inclusion in the national list.
Since these castes do not feature in the Central OBC list therefore people hailing from these communities are not able to get reservation benefits in the central government jobs.
Prominent among the castes whose recommendation would be sent to Centre included Kudmi, Chandravanshi, Sheikh, Kumhar, Madeya, Sundi, Baniya, Mallik etc.
