"I strongly feel that the govt already initiated steps toward approving the proposal. If not in the next cabinet meeting, which is expected in two to three weeks, I am confident it will be approved in the following one," he said, while indirectly setting the deadline for the govt. During the mahapanchayat, the state govt presented a draft letter to the samiti, outlining key assurances. Among them was the commitment that the state cabinet would formally clear the proposal before forwarding it to the Centre for inclusion in the 9th Schedule. He also revealed that he spoke to Kuldeep Ranka, additional chief secretary of department of social justice and empowerment, regarding inconsistencies in the implementation of the Devnarayan Yojana. The scheme, aimed at providing financial aid and scholarships to MBC students, will now be reviewed on a monthly basis to ensure timely delivery of benefits, Bainsla said. Samiti-nominated representatives will be included in meetings to monitor progress, he said. Bainsla also highlighted other commitments made by the govt, including expedited resolution of legal cases related to Gurjar quota agitation. He said a ministerial committee will be formed to review the MBC quota. This committee is expected to meet with the samiti within 60 days. Based on those discussions, further decisions will be made.
