Data on de-reservation proposals not readily available, says DoPT amidst tussle with Scheduled Castes panel
The Department of Personnel and Training told Parliament that data on proposals to remove reservations from posts is not easily accessible, as records are spread across various ministries and departments. The National Commission for Scheduled Castes had previously described the government's plan to replace reserved positions with general‑category candidates as incomplete, leading to a dispute between the two bodies.
