The Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Tuesday said that the issue of implementation of OBC reservation in All India Quota (AIQ) seats of state agricultural universities is under examination.
Tomar gave the statement in response to a query raised by AKP Chinraj, the DMK MP from Tamil Nadu. The DMK MP had asked whether the government has received a legal opinion from legal affairs on the implementation of OBC reservation in All India Quota seats of state agricultural universities and whether the centre proposes to implement it.
“The budget allocation of the Ministry of Agriculture (including DARE) and the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying is 2.92 per cent of total budget allocation during the year 2023-24,” Tomar replied in a written response in Lok Sabha.
