Madhya Pradesh To Provide 35% Reservation For Women

In a significant step towards promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, the Madhya Pradesh government has introduced a groundbreaking policy.
This policy mandates that 35% of all state government job positions (excluding those in the Forest Department) must be reserved for women.
This progressive amendment modifies the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services (Special Provision for Appointment of Women) Rules of 1997.
The official notification specifies, “Regardless of any provisions in existing service rules, 35% of all job positions within the state’s service (with the exception of the Forest Department) shall be reserved for women during direct recruitment.
This reservation will be implemented horizontally and compartment-wise.” This announcement is not only significant due to its dedication to gender equality but also because it introduces the novel concepts of “horizontal” and “compartment-wise” reservations.
Horizontal reservation is a concept aimed at providing equal opportunities to various categories of beneficiaries, such as women, veterans, the transgender community, and individuals with disabilities, across different segments or compartments of government job positions.
Compartment-wise reservation means that the 35% quota for women will be applied in a manner that considers different departments or sectors separately, ensuring that women have access to a diverse range of government job opportunities.
