A historic decision was announced on 29 July 2021. The Union Health Ministry issued a notification declaring that the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) would get 27 per cent reservations in all-India quota seats in medical education institutions run by state governments from this academic session. Ten per cent of the seats will be reserved for the Economically Weaker Sections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted about the decision. The news spread like wildfire on social media. The OBCs heartily welcomed it. It was a big victory for them. Now, politics is being done on the issue.
