The Karnataka Cabinet has decided to provide internal reservation among Scheduled Castes by categorising 101 castes among them into three categories, official sources said.
In a special meeting on Tuesday, the cabinet discussed the recommendations of the Justice H N Nagmohan Das Commission report, aimed at providing internal reservation among Scheduled Castes (SCs).
The commission had submitted its 1,766-page report to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on August 4, and it was placed before the cabinet on August 7.
The internal reservation is aimed at slicing up the 17 per cent reservation matrix given to 101 scheduled castes.
According to sources, the cabinet decided to accept the Justice Nagamohan Das Commission's report, but made some alterations.
The commission's report was not officially made public.
