#2 Quotas in jobs and university places.

The SC (scheduled castes) and ST (scheduled tribes) - untouchables and tribals have 22 percent quota for governemnt jobs and for universities

OBC (other backward classes) have a 27% quota for government jobs - will have same for universities.

It is propsed to include private sector in quota system
