The Devendra Fadnavis Cabinet on Wednesday announced a new committee, led by Chief Secretary Rajesh Agrawal, to examine representations on the sub-classification of Scheduled Castes (SCs). The panel has been asked to submit its report within a month. The move follows the submission of a report by an earlier committee headed by retired judge Anant Manohar Badar.
