Committed to Constitution, no provision for creamy layers in SC/ST quota: Union Cabinet

The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, clarified on Friday that the Constitution, as framed by B R Ambedkar, does not include a provision for a creamy layer within the reservation system for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST). This statement followed a detailed discussion on a recent Supreme Court judgement regarding sub-categorization within these reservations.
