Tamil Nadu Reservation policy

Tamil Nadu's reservation policy aims to promote social equality by reserving a certain percentage of government jobs, educational seats, and other benefits for historically disadvantaged groups—primarily Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Backward Classes (BC). The policy allocates up to 69% of these opportunities to these communities, exceeding the national cap of 50%. It seeks to address historical injustices and improve access to resources, employment, and education for marginalized populations, while also maintaining a balance that allows opportunities for the general category. The policy is implemented through various laws and government orders specific to Tamil Nadu.
