1% Parallel Reservation for Orphan Children in the Open Category
Orphaned children are deprived of parenting care and motivation and most often find the road narrowed down when it comes to establishing themselves in life. Devendra Fadnavis, wanting to boost their morale by providing higher education and job opportunities, initiated a 1% parallel reservation for orphaned children in the open category in Maharashtra in April 2018 when he was the CM of the state. This was another first-in-country act by the Fadnavis government that ensured opportunities for higher education and professional success for orphaned children.

Reservation for orphans at par with OBCs
राष्ट्रीय मागासवर्ग आयोगाने अनाथ मुलांना आरक्षण देण्याचा ठराव केला असून, त्यांनी तो ठराव सामाजिक न्याय विभागाकडे पाठवला आहे. मागासवर्ग आयोगाने या ठरावाद्वारे अनाथांना ओबीसींप्रमाणे २७ टक्के आरक्षण द्यावे, असा ठराव मांडला. अनाथ मुलांकडे त्यांच्या नावाशिवाय इतर कोणताच पुरावा त्यांच्याकडे नसतो. त्यांना त्यांचे आडनाव, जात, धर्म माहिती नसते. त्यामुळे त्यांना सरकारी योजनांचा लाभ घेताना मोठी अडचण निर्माण होत होती.

1% Parallel Reservation for Orphans
An important decision to provide 1% parallel reservation in the open category to the orphan children of the state was taken by the then Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in the cabinet meeting on 17 January 2018. Orphaned children face many difficulties in making a living after the stipulated period of their stay in an orphanage is over. They remain deprived of sufficient educational, financial, or social support from the government as their category isn’t specified for reservation. The Devendra Fadnavis government, for the first time in India, made it a law to provide higher education and job opportunities for orphaned children.
