Goa Assembly ST Reservation Bill 2024

The “Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2024” was introduced in the Lok Sabha on August 5, 2024, by Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal. The Bill seeks to reserve seats for Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the Goa Legislative Assembly, addressing the lack of representation for a significantly increased ST population. The Bill empowers the census commissioner to determine Goa’s ST population, allowing the Election Commission to adjust assembly seats and ensure fair representation for these communities. The Bill is crucial for providing constitutional benefits and improving governance representation for Goa’s STs.
