The level <strong>of</strong> reservation recommended by<br />
the Central Government in the past few<br />
years have been given at table 6.2.<br />
In the last Standing Advisory Committee<br />
(19 th ) meeting held on 13.06.2011, the<br />
representative <strong>of</strong> the Indian Sugar Mills<br />
Association requested that like cement and<br />
fertilizer, sugar should also be removed<br />
from JPM Act with immediate effect. The<br />
representative <strong>of</strong> the National Cooperative<br />
Sugar Factories Association and All India Flat<br />
Tape Association had endorsed the views <strong>of</strong><br />
ISMA. While summarizing the discussions,<br />
it was emphasized that the socio-economic<br />
factors have to be taken into account while<br />
arriving at the decision for reservation norms<br />
for 2011-12. After detailed deliberations on<br />
the issue, the Standing Advisory Committee<br />
agreed to recommend to the Government<br />
that 90% <strong>of</strong> both foodgrains and sugar be<br />
compulsorily packed in jute bags. However,<br />
CCEA has approved 100% <strong>of</strong> both foodgrains<br />
and sugar be compulsorily packed in jute<br />
bags. The statutory order in this regard has<br />
been issued.<br />
