The most noteworthy among these was the introduction of a <strong>3% job reservation in state government jobs<\/strong> for the <strong>Tea Tribes and Adivasi communities<\/strong> in <strong>Class I and Class II posts<\/strong> \u2014 a significant revision that expands opportunities beyond the previously limited Class III and IV positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This quota is counted within the <strong>OBC (Other Backward Classes) reservation bracket<\/strong> and seeks to integrate the Tea Tribes and Adivasis \u2014 historically marginalized sections \u2014 into higher administrative and managerial roles across Assam\u2019s public services. The move comes ahead of the 2026 Assam Assembly elections and underscores the state government\u2019s focus on inclusive governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to reservation reforms, the Cabinet expanded the <strong>Mukhyamantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyaan (MMUA)<\/strong> scheme by adding <strong>1,07,532 new women beneficiaries<\/strong> to the programme. Under MMUA, women from self\u2011help groups receive <strong>seed capital assistance<\/strong> to start micro businesses and stimulate economic growth at the grassroots level. Previously, <strong>around 32 lakh women<\/strong> had already benefitted from similar financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cabinet decisions included other development measures, but the focus remained on <strong>strengthening inclusivity<\/strong>, <strong>boosting women\u2019s entrepreneurship<\/strong>, and <strong>enhancing representation<\/strong> of disadvantaged communities in government services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large
