New Delhi: A House Committee of Delhi assembly today recommended
reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, OBC and
minorities in private schools and other technical institutions which
were given land by the government free of cost or at nominal rates.

The report of the Committee on Welfare of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled
Tribes, OBC and Minorities was tabled in the assembly today.

Headed by Congress legislator Malaram Gangwal, the committee also
recommended that the caste of a child be mentioned in the birth
certificate and that it should be considered as caste certificate.

"Often students eligible for scholarships find it very difficult to
get the caste certificate from the government officials. We recommend
that the birth certificate mentioning the caste be considered as caste
certificate," said the report.

The committee has also recommended that the income limit of a family
be raised to Rs2 lakh a year from the current Rs1 lakh annually so as
to become eligible for getting scholarships from the government.

"Though the income of the people has gone up in the recent times, the
fact is that the there has been price rise as well which does not make
the limit of Rs 1 lakh the criteria of being well off," the committee
has stated.

It further recommended that the cut off year of living in Delhi since
1993 for getting benefits under various welfare schemes for SC, ST,
OBC category be done away with and in stead those having stayed in the
capital for at least 10 years be considered for inclusion welfare
schemes. PTI
