Reservation & examination policy in Goa
Goa applies SC, ST and OBC reservation with ST status granted to the Gawda, Kunbi and Velip communities in 2003, and political reservation questions there have focused on assembly seat reservation for STs. Its small cadre size makes vacancy management especially visible.

Why the reform argument matters in Goa
- 01Goa's uniform civil code experience is frequently cited in debates about uniform, non-group-based rules.
- 02High per-capita income coexists with pockets of hinterland deprivation not captured by categories.
- 03Small state cadres make backlog vacancies disproportionately damaging.
