Arunachal Pradesh Forms Committee to Review 80:20 Reservation Ratio in Recruitment
The Arunachal Pradesh government has formed a six-member committee, chaired by Industries Minister Nyato Dukam, to assess the feasibility of abolishing the 80:20 reservation ratio in state government recruitment and to consider mandatory Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC) and APST certification in recruitment processes. The All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU), which has advocated for these changes, welcomed the move and continues to seek updates on its broader 13-point memorandum addressing constitutional safeguards, boundary issues, and development initiatives. The committee is expected to submit its report within two months.
