Madhya Pradesh Increases Women's Job Reservation to 35%

In a recent decision, the Madhya Pradesh government has raised the reservation quota for women in all state government jobs from 33% to 35%, impacting various categories across the board.

The proposal to increase women's reservation to 35% in government jobs was approved at a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav.
This enhanced reservation will apply to all reserved categories, including SC, ST, and OBC, ensuring that a greater percentage of positions in each category are allocated specifically to women candidates.
Former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan originally announced the intent to raise the reservation to 35% before the last assembly elections; however, due to election timing, the approval was delayed.
According to the official gazette notification, 35% of the reserved posts in each category will now be allocated to female candidates from the respective categories.
The decision reflects Madhya Pradesh’s commitment to improving gender representation and supporting women in the state workforce by providing more government job opportunities.
