The human resource development minister, Prakash Javadekar, on Friday, assured the Rajya Sabha, that the government will bring an ordinance to restore the old formula for implementing reservation in teaching jobs in higher education.

The minister said, “I want to inform this House that the government is in favor of social justice. If the review petition in (Supreme Court) is rejected, then we have decided to bring either a bill or an ordinance (to restore the old formula).”
