Hi friends.

I agree there is need for reservation. Most of the reserved seats in elite institutes remains vacant. That shows the progress of backward caste. Also no one guarantee that reservation based on financial condition will not be misused. I am proud Indian and believe we Indians will be fist to misuse it. We have high ethics value we are discussing this to remove the reservation because we want opportunity to misuse it.

There are instances where it is being misused. In west Bengal the schools will publish vacancy for certain subjects where its difficult to find the reserved category students. If not found then there is provision to convert the seat to general category. Also can anybody tell me what is the fee for medical education from management quota. Its in Lakhs. So this doctors from private medical colleges are very skilled and competent.

If a less educated person becomes doctor by using reservation, how the life of a patient can be in good condition. Similarly if a reserved person get chance to become pilot, can you think a safe landing of your plane?

So I think reservation should be on basis of financial condition.

No meaning for reservation if it is provided based on caste system. It will bring sweet fruits if it is based on economy of the person.

This is only back step for country dealing with reservation. If one person is ias and his son study in best school and colleges then why he need reservation. The reservation is boom for sc/st and cruse for general category students.

I do not support reservation in jobs, but peoples who don't have enough money to study in good institutions, scholarship has to be given to those, so that they can get admission in good institution and enhance their level and compete with others.

So in my view reservation upto some extent is right in the field of education but that should be on the economic basis, but in jobs there should be no reservation, so that only talented people come in the jobs.

Friends.

I want present reservation should be changed. Separate & solid basic education be provided to socially & economically backward class to compete with others. Who have availed these benefits for 2 generation be excluded. Only genuine people to get reservation benefits. Student belonging to general merit class be provided seats upto last reserved seats equally.

First seats be allotted to all the meritorious students irrespective of caste|areas. General merits peoples pays huge personal tax in lakhs of crores for national welfare&it is gross injustice to deny them seats in higher education.

So abolish reservation do scientific survey before offering reservation. All certificates provided to claim benefits should be counter checked by authorities strictly. Reservation to be provided only on the basis of merit only.

Friends.

Present reservation system widens the gap between communities & area. Our great constitution granted equal rights to all its citizens. So here I want our supreme court must try to implement it in right spirit of our constitution.

Denying seats to highly meritorious students seats in professional course is violation of basic education rights and it is human rights abuse. Students who have scored much better is denied will leads disappointment. As our judiciary declared that lesser meritorious students need not be given better seats & colleges.

Why only Sc/ST students get reservation? I know India is still developing country, but we can overcome from poverty by giving financial support to backward family but not to their children (if so students becomes lazy).

People said that reservation should be stop its possible every one know they condition of SC/ST in India. Even if they get the higher education after getting the reservation Indian private organization discriminate on the basis of caste system so they only depend on govt Job And Govt institution.

In India there is approximate 27 crores SC/ST in India people think every SC/ST get the job they are not unemployed all get the jobs.

People said Reservation based on financial its possible? When govt give the scholarship to upper caste student they making they fake certificate and get they scholarship first. I Know if govt give reservation on financial bases all upper caste become poor for getting the benefit.

People said SC/ST get job in low merit. Merit is you know why because less no candidate selected so less cutoff. People who make reservation system know the every thing that's why he make caste based system. So most of people called him legends.

Its government fault not creating the job in govt sector making every thing private if you have talent go in private institution show your talent if you have.

This whole discussion is revolving around the fact that reservation is the only way to empower downtrodden, which is not correct. For last 50 years this policy is in place and we can see that the only thing which it has promoted is the degradation of quality. It's not reaching deep enough in the social strata, helping only those people who already are economically.

So the best thing would be to buttress the social support system, be it monthly payments to support weaker sections of society so that children don't need to work, provide free and quality education in government institutes (starting from primary education) and above all making it a mission so that common public who is self sufficient gets involved to lift up their fellow citizens.
