The Assam Cabinet has approved 3% reservation for tea tribes and Adivasi communities in Class I and II state government jobs.
Earlier, the quota was limited to Grade III and IV posts, but now it includes higher posts like state civil services and professors.
The Mukhyamantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyaan (MMUA) scheme has been expanded to include 1,07,532 additional women, adding to the 32 lakh beneficiaries who received ₹10,000 each.
The new measures aim to increase social mobility, improve employment opportunities, and strengthen rural entrepreneurship.
