In a noteworthy turn of events, Nagaland's state cabinet is poised to make a crucial decision regarding the revision of the state's job reservation policy, insiders revealed.
The move comes after a meeting on Monday, involving the state's newly appointed Chief Secretary, Sentiyanger Imchen, and representatives of the Five Tribes Committee on the Review of Reservation Policy (CoRRP). This committee was established to advocate for a review of the state's perceived antiquated reservation policy, which favors certain tribes over others.
The CoRRP, representing five prominent Naga tribes, namely Ao, Sumi, Lotha, Rengma, and Angami, presented their case, urging a policy reassessment. Alleging that the policy, in place since 1977, no longer aligns with the current socio-economic and educational landscape. The state cabinet is expected to deliver its verdict on the matter, with a decision anticipated soon.
