Experts in Marathi`s "Modi" script are actively transliterating historical documents from the Nizam rule in various offices to identify Kunbis in Marathwada. This effort seeks to encourage the provision of the Maratha quota.

In consultation with activist Manoj Jarange, the Maharashtra government has published a draft regulation proposing that blood relatives of a Maratha individual with verifiable ties to the rural Kunbi clan be recognised as Kunbis. The Kunbi community belongs to the OBC category and Jarange advocates for Kunbi credentials for all Marathas, a report in PTI stated.
