New Delhi: The Oversight Committee entrusted with the task of preparing a roadmap for the implementation of 27 per cent reservation for OBCs in educational institutions is likely to submit an interim report to the government by July 15 even as it felt a staggered implementation in State Universities, Deemed Universities and private institutions.

"Various options are being deliberated with regard to implementation of reservation in institutions of higher learning. One solution and one medicine will not be practicable," Chairman of the Committee M Veerappa Moily told reporters after a meeting of the Committee.

He said the five Groups going into various aspects have been asked to give their inputs by June 30 to enable the Committee to finalise its interim report by July 10 for presentation to the government. The Committee was to submit its final report by August 31.

Moily said the intention of submitting an interim report was to enable the government to make advance planning with regard to administrative sanction, faculty requirements and vision which has to be in place by 2007.

Asked about the problems being faced by some of the institutions, he said there were plenty of problems with regard to faculty, infrastructure and course. But through innovative methods, these barriers could be crossed over.
