Reservations in the Private Sector

Reservations should not strictly allow in any organization even Government this facilitate should only for Physically Challenged Candidates. The rest of candidates should be got employment on their skill and ability only. Private organization have to operate in competitive time. If they have to follow reservation norms then they will not get desire out put since they are required candidates with special skill and talent.

I still don't understand why we are following reservation system in 21st century. This system has to change now, if not now then when. Instead of reservation we can approach this problems with privileges. Whether it be a Government job or an educational system, reservations will only pull the country back instead of growth. What we need now is a healthy and smart governance and proper utilization of resources.

I don't think we need reservation even in public sector. A person should get a job based on his merit and talent and not because he belongs to a particular cast. People in our country are becoming more understanding and positive. They don't consider a cast as low.

So this isn't a taboo as such nowadays thereby eliminating the need of reservation. Instead more opportunities should be created for the poor and less privileged people irrespective of their caste or religion.

Reservation should be banned at any cost. We live free in a country. Our constitution gives equal rights to every single person. I believe that a person cannot be judged by his caste, creed or physical appearance but his inner glow.

Before caste creed there comes we have to realize that we are citizen of India. Its our prime duty to help each other instead fight each other be the citizen of India not caste.

Hi friends,

We are having reservations in public sector which was decided by our constitution writers. We can not blame them because the conditions which were existing those times made them to take that decision. Because they faced many obstacles based on caste at that time. But now conditions were changed.

World is becoming smaller due to globalization. There is no need for reservation at any sector. But we can't do anything with the public sector. Implanting reservations in private sector does not make any sense because the private sector is the survival of the fittest. They need talented people irrespective of their caste.

Thank you.

Hi friends.

I agree with all of you. Reservation must not in private sector. Ya according to constitution reservation is for those people who are financially weak but now a days reservation moved in another view. Reservation must be only for physically handicap people.

Hi everyone.

I have a bit different perception about reservation system existing now. I think reservation should exist in INDIA but with a modified form because still the condition of people under it has not improved. The condition of tribal people is still pathetic though some portion of them has successfully been merged to the mainstream. So depriving them of reservation will make them unimproved. Hence it should be there with some modification, as our constitution was formed 68 year back. And the condition of then and now has seen an immense change.

I think there is not need for reservation in higher education and in public or private sectors, but it should be given in the basic education so that a poor can get admission in convent schools and this must not be based on the caste and religion.

I have read several comments. It's good a debate has started. But, one thing no one speaks about is the discrimination in the education, itself. I have chance to see different places in India. In cities like Delhi, a child starts education at age of three. In a recent photograph published in a newspaper, the student in Remote Himachal Pradesh, the student brave heavy snow to walk to school.

In Tripura, I have seen the students walking miles in rain and mud to reach school. Definitely they can not go to school before 6or 7 years of age or even more. Teacherwise; Practically no teacher in Government Schools of remote areas. Teachers engaged paying better than Government in Delhi based Public Schools.

An student of Delhi based public school never thinks being below IAS, IPS, Doctor or engineer. In a village school of remote areas or even in a municipal school of Delhi the students never think more than a clerk, peon or jobs like that. I think ultimately despite whatever, we achieve, we are answerable about what we do for the society. In a situation where our system is giving equal opportunities in studies, we claim of giving equal opportunity in recruitment.

Let me explain, as an officer in Central Government while working in North East, I was conducting tests and interview for recruitment for temporary posts. One girl appeared two/three times in test and interview but did not secceed. Next time, when she came for test. I asked her that she had appeared earlier also.

But why could she not do up to marks. She told me sir, I am from a poor family and had no opportunity to learn computer typing. It touched me as that time computer was not within approach of every one. I ordered that typing test be conducted on manual typewriter.

Believe me, the girl came as topper. This is just an example how it matters for have nots who can be from any caste or community to compete. I have several such examples. My firm believe is that unless we give uniform opportunity in imparting education, our claim giving uniform opportunity in employment.

India will always remain a "developing" country, but never a "developed" country till reservations exist. Scrap off reservations from public sector, and the difference will be seen immediately.

I feel today there is more discrimination based on caste, just because someone is getting extra benefit (Why will others agree to their own friends getting more benefits?). Many of my friends think that lower caste = lower income group. But, this is not always true.

Reservations were implemented in India for only 10 years. But, now it has become a political issue. So, my opinion about reservation in private sector is a big NO-NO.
