Sudhir Commission term extended

The State government on Wednesday extended by one year the term of the Sudhir Commission which was constituted to enquire into the educational and socio-economic conditions of Muslims in the State.

The Commission had recently submitted its report to Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao recommending Muslim reservation to be raised from the existing four per cent to 9-12 per cent. The government forwarded the report to the newly-constituted BC commission



for appropriate suggestions. The State government is also firm on introducing the Muslim Reservation Bill in the Budget session of the State Legislature.

According to the fresh extension order, the Commission’s tenure will end in January, 2018. This is the second extension for the Commission, having got a three month extension earlier. The other members of the Commission are Mohammed Ameerullah Khan, Abdus Shaban and Mohammed Abdul Bari.
