Time Line

  • First Backward Classes Commission was established in Tamilnadu under the Chairmanship of AN Sattanathan in the year 1969. 
  • 1971 - The then DMK government increased the reservation for Backward Classes from 25 % to 31 % and SC / ST from 16 % to 18 %  . So total 49 % Reservation System was there .
  • 1980 - MGR 's AIADMK government has increased the BC reservation from 31% to 50% . No changes have made in SC/ST reservation , it was 18% only.
  • Second Backward Classes Commission was established in the year 1993 .
  • In 1992 , the Supreme Court of India ordered the Reservation Systems should not exceed 50% .
  • In 1993 Tamilnadu Government passes an Act and the Act was placed in the 9th Schedule of the Consitution of India.
  • In 2010, the Supreme Court had notified , if reservations can exceed 50 %, there should be quantifiable data for respective communities .
