The Gujarat government said on Sunday that it will implement the 10 per cent reservations in government jobs and higher education for the economically backward sections in the general category from January 14.

The Constitutional amendment to provide 10 percent quota received the assent of President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday. "The economically weaker sections from the general category will get 10 per cent reservation in admissions to higher education and government jobs starting Uttarayan on January 14," the state government said in a release.
