Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Thursday said every district collector will be asked to deploy ten officials from the collectorate staff to find old records on the basis of which Kunbi caste certificates can be given to the eligible Marathas.

One of the demands of activist Manoj Jarange who was on an indefinite fast seeking reservation for the Marathas is that they be given Kunbi caste certificates. The agrarian Kunbi community already gets quota benefits in the OBC category.
