KSU for population based quota

Konyak Students’ Union (KSU) appealed to the chief minister to review and reform existing state job reservation policy into population-based ratio.
In a representation to the CM through DC Mon, KSU president Temwang and general secretary A Pangnan sought for a comprehensive and urgent review of Nagaland’s Backward Tribes Job Reservation Policy and ensure it reflected the actual population distribution for true equity.
It urged the chief minister to demonstrate political will by introducing a special provision through a fast-tracked cabinet decision, adding that it cannot afford to wait for the release of the 2021 census data. KSU said Konyaks number over 2.5 lakh or approximately 12.65% of Nagaland’s population and one of the largest Naga tribes. However it said the current job reservation policy perpetuated a grave injustice as Konyaks were denied of their rightful share.
KSU asserted that its demand was not merely a reform, but a moral and social necessity that would uplift the Konyaks and strengthen Nagaland as a whole.
