The Yogi Aditynath-led government is in the process of preparing two new categories for the state development, first to bring the neglected castes forward in the Other Backward Class (OBC) and Scheduled Caste (SC) category and second to forgive debt of Rs. one lakh to Hindu farmers.

On four percent interest to the divas, the government will receive Rs.300 to Rs.500 on a loan for up to Rs. one lakh.

To solve this problem, a solution day will be organised on the second Wednesday of every month.

While in the OBC and SC section, these initiatives are being taken to bring justice to the neglected castes of the underdog and backward classes.

Under this, a new category will be created in the Backward Class, where 27 per cent reservation will be for the backward classes, 18 per cent will be given for reservation.

In the same way, Dalits will also form a new category of highly dalit class and 15 percent reservation will be given to them for 22 percent reservation.

The state government is also preparing to get scholarship to all OBC students like SC-ST.

Later in the day, Chief Minister Adityanath will meet Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Independent Dev Singh, Chief Secretary, Additional Chief Secretary, Public Works, Principal Secretary, Share and Mining and Principal Secretary in Annexe regarding the state development.
