After Uttarakhand, Gujarat is poised to become the second state in the country to implement a Uniform Civil Code (UCC). A key meeting was held on Tuesday between Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and the UCC Committee, during which the committee’s draft report was discussed.
According to sources, the committee has submitted its report during this meeting. The state government will now review the recommendations, suggest any necessary modifications and finalise the report.
She said that the committee has visited every district, interacted with people from all sections of society, and incorporated their feedback into the report on the Uniform Civil Code.
She also added that the final report will be officially submitted in the coming days, following which the government will decide on implementation.
A spokesperson for the Gujarat government confirmed that the committee had collected public feedback both online and offline and held meetings across communities.
The spokesperson said that the discussions focused on those findings on Tuesday. Once the report is officially submitted, the government will decide whether to introduce it in the monsoon session.
It is worth noting that the UCC committee was constituted on February 4 by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. The five-member panel, led by Justice Ranjana Desai, was initially given a 45-day timeline to submit its report. However, its tenure was extended three times to ensure wider consultations across all segments of society.
