A day-long special session of the state legislature on the Maratha quota is currently underway here. Notably, the Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission on Friday submitted a report on its survey on the social, economic, and educational backwardness of the Maratha community. The massive exercise covered nearly 2.5 crore families.

One of the key findings in the bill tabled by CM Shinde underscores that the population of the Maratha community in the state is 28 percent.
Out of the total Maratha families that are below the poverty line, 21.22 percent hold yellow ration cards. It is higher than the state’s average of 17.4 percent.

The state government’s survey undertaken between January and February this year also found that 84 percent of the Maratha community families do not fall under the progressed category, hence they are eligible for reservation as per the Indra Sawhney case, as per the bill.
Out of the total farmers’ suicides in Maharashtra, 94 percent are from Maratha families, the bill noted. (Maxim News)
