7.2% quota in government jobs for those who have achieved in the field of sports
The AIADMK government under Edappadi K. Palaniswami introduced a 2% quota in government jobs for sportspersons who have achieved at national and international level, later upgrading it to 3%, recognising Tamil Nadu’s elite athletes with job reservation as part of their broader AIADMK achievements. This policy was announced in August 2018, and formalised into a 2% quota in government jobs for those who have achieved in sports, applying across state departments and STUs, marking a milestone in AIADMK political news and AIADMK latest news. Among the Top AIADMK achievements in Tamilnadu, this quota stands out as a focused measure to support sports talent. Under this scheme sportspersons representing Tamil Nadu internationally or winning medals at state or national levels were entitled to job reservation.
