The correct answer is 79th Amendment.
It was passed in 1999.
It extended the reservation of states for SCs and STs and special representation for Anglo Indians in LS and State Legislative Assemblies for a further period of 10 years.
However, Note that by the recent 104th Constitutional Amendment Act,
the reservation of SC/STs is extended for further 10 years but the reservation of Anglo Indians in Lok Sabha and State Assemblies is abolished by this Amendment Act.
