Nagaland's Job Reservation Policy Under Review: A Decisive Moment
The Nagaland state cabinet is set to decide on revisions to the job reservation policy. The CoRRP, representing five major tribes, argues the policy is outdated. They've paused protests pending a cabinet decision. Currently, 37% reservations exist for 'backward' tribes based on education and economy.

In a major development for Nagaland's contentious job reservation policy, the state cabinet is poised to make a decisive ruling this Wednesday, insiders suggest.
This update emerged from Monday's meeting between the new Chief Secretary Sentiyanger Imchen and the Tribes Committee on Review of Reservation Policy (CoRRP), representing five significant Naga tribes.
The CoRRP, advocating for policy changes, argue that the reservation policy—established in 1977 and augmented over years—no longer reflects the current socio-economic conditions in Nagaland. The group has momentarily paused further protests in anticipation of the cabinet's decision.
