Maharashtra Revises 5% Sports Quota Policy with Digital Certificate Verification
Maharashtra's Cabinet approved a revised policy reserving five percent of government jobs for meritorious sportspersons, aiming to enhance their social and economic security. The policy consolidates previous resolutions and applies across various government and affiliated institutions. A key feature is the introduction of the Krida E-Praman digital system, using blockchain technology to verify sports certificates and prevent fraud. The policy requires certificate validation within three months and covers multiple recruitment groups and organizations.
