The body of five Naga tribes does not interfere with the creation of a commission to review the employment policy for 10 backward tribes in Nagaland.
On Wednesday (August 6, 2025), the State Cabinet approved the Institute of the Seven -Member Commission for Reservation of Jobs, which is headed by an officer in retirement of the Nagalanda cadre. The official statement stated that the committee would be composed of three officers and a member of each of the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organization (ENSPO), Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) and Teniyimi Union Nagaland (ton).
The Policy Review Committee (Corrp) of five tribes – Angami, Ao, Lotha, Rengma and Sumi – criticized the result of the cabinet meeting on the reservation of backward tribes as a repetition of the meeting on June 12.
Ignored the basic requirements
“IT (Cabinet) decided to ignore our main requirements and rather continued to compose a booking review commission, which includes civil society organizations in the form of CNTC, ENPO and tons,” Corrp said Tesinlo Semy’s convention and Tanet GK Zhamomiem.
“The guerrilla attitude of the government spokesman in throwing wild imaginary data on the government’s employment as well as the interconnection of the outcome of the Reserve Review Commission with further census is an insult to our movement,” Duo said.
They said that the top bodies of five tribes would soon meet to decide on the further action.
Government spokesman and Minister KG Kenye after the cabinet meeting, quoted by official data and Minister KG Kenye: “Five non -essential tribes currently hold 64% of government jobs, while 10 backward tribes hold 34%.”
He said that the decision to consider the Labor Review Commission, which will be given six months to present her message, was intended to solve this imbalance. He added that the implementation of reforms can coincide with the census based on caste planned by the center in January 2026.
The panel lacks neutrality
Corpp, which insisted that the composition of the approved commission lacked neutrality, was looking for an independent commission after limiting the conditions for a decade of decades old reservation policy.
Corrp said that the reserve policy, introduced in 1977, no longer reflects the current socio -economic and educational reality of the NAGA tribes in the state.
Initially, 25% of non-technical and non-gazet columns were reserved for seven tribes for 10 years. These tribes were marked back on the basis of educational and economic disadvantages, except for limited representation in civil servants.
The reservation was increased to 37% later, by 25% for seven back -feeding tribes inhabiting East Nagaland and 12% for the remaining return tribes elsewhere in the State.
