The Maharashtra state government had passed the Socially and Economically Backward caste (SEBC) Bill 2024 on February 20, 2024, which provided 10 percent reservation to the Maratha community in educational institutions and government jobs. However, students from the SEBC community were struggling to obtain caste certificates from the district administration, prompting them to demand an extension of the submission deadline.
Responding to their demands, Chief Minister Shinde has granted a six-month extension for students to submit their caste certificates. This move is expected to benefit thousands of students who were facing inconvenience due to the previous deadline.
Currently, there is a surge of students visiting government offices, such as the Setu office and caste certificate offices, to obtain essential documents like caste certificates, non-creamy layer certificates, and income certificates. These documents are mandatory for availing government schemes and reservations.
With this extension, students can now submit their caste certificates within six months of filing their application for admission to professional courses. This decision is a significant relief to students and their parents who were grappling with the challenges of obtaining these documents within the previous deadline.
