Poona Pact was an understanding between Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi was marked 83 years prior on September 24, 1932. The assertion was marked by Pt Madan Mohan Malviya and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and some Dalit pioneers at Yerwada Central Jail in Pune, to break Mahatma Gandhi's quick unto death.

Following are the principle highlights:

Seat booking for the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled

Tribes (ST) for seats in common council

The STs and SCs would frame a constituent school which would choose four possibilities for the general electorate

The portrayal of these classes will be founded on the principles of joint electorates and held seats

18 per cent seats were to be saved for these classes in governing body

The arrangement of decision to the board of applicants in both, Focal and Provincial Legislature should arrive at end in 10 years unless it closes on shared terms

The portrayal of the classes through reservation should proceed according to conditions 1 and 4 until decided, else by common assertion between the groups

The establishment for the Central and Provincial Legislatures of these classes ought to be shown in the Lothian Committee report

There ought to be a reasonable portrayal of these classes

In each region, the SCs and STs ought to be given adequate instructive offices.
