Quota system - the cause of poor quality jobs and
education
The Centre has extended
reservations for the economically weaker sections among the forward castes in
all educational institutions (including private ones) and government jobs. This is aimed at winning over educated
Middle India that is unable to secure a decent education or white-collar job.
The move is also meant to appease the
dominant, resentful peasant castes, such as the Jats, Gujjars, Patels and
Marathas who have been hit by rural distress and don’t fit in the industry and services sectors.
The initiative entails a
Constitutional amendment to Articles 15 and 16 to include the ‘economically
disadvantaged’ as a category entitled to reservations, in addition to ‘socially
and educationally backward classes’. The
creation of a distinct category of ‘economically disadvantaged’ upper castes is
an altogether different matter.
The clamour for quotas stems from the inadequate supply of quality
education and jobs. The
economically weaker sections is existing everywhere whenever there is wide
variations in the Income level of the people. It is a cumulative effort of the
individual to sustain in the competitive world. The Government provisions in
the form of Job reservations is in the miniscule for satisfying the people of
country. Within the 100 percentage, all the economically weaker sections of the
people irrespective of the caste, creed, etc would entail the process of
determining which income level the people of our country is fit into which is a
big question. Creation of intelligent people in terms of GDP Growth has been
declined as per Articles intimation. Changing the percentage of job
reservations is a political game for diverting the people’s attention from
their ruling affairs.
The needed amendments must be made in the constitution in articles 15
and16 to include the term economically disadvantaged for giving life to this
new needed reservation.
