Recently, the Maharashtra state government, responding to the Maratha community's demand for reservations, has issued a gazette notification proposing amendments to the caste certificate rules.
- It aims to ease and expand the scope of offering Kunbi OBC certification to Marathas, allowing them access to government jobs and educational institutions.
- The state has proposed to amend the Maharashtra Scheduled Castes, Denotified Tribes (Vimukta Jatis), Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Classes and Special Backward Category (Regulation of Issuance and Verification of) Caste Certificate Rules, 2012, by adding the term ‘sage-soyare’ (i.e., relatives from the family tree).
- It means that the entire family tree of everyone who has a Kunbi certificate will get the Kunbi certificate.
