Reservation should be for economic weaker section
(
PRLEAP.COM) Reservation should be for economic weaker section
The INSO (Indian National Students Organization), on Sunday (i.e, 4nd june 2006) demanded introduction of the ‘creamy layer’ concept in the quota for other backward classes in higher education to ensure that benefits reach the needy. According to present system “uplifted” Scheduled Caste IAS officers, leader’s rich people from city’s get the further benefits of reservation. INSO President Amit Kaushik said that “Meritorious but poor students, should be provided with liberal scholarships irrespective of caste or community, so that the nation could get efficient services of the best brains”.
Reservation should benefit the poorer and needy section among these communities. The INSO party also favored reservation for economically weaker section among the forward caste. INSO Party believes that reservation on the basis of caste is illogical, unjustified and unconstitutional. INSO Vice President Ravi Jakhar said that “discrimination in education in India is another problem that plagues Indian society”. There are speculations that India will be the world power in 2006 along with China. How can this be achieved if a large section of society are denied their right to education because of their social status.
Even upper-caste MPs and MLAs cry for reservation for the SCs and OBCs; surely, they must have votes on their mind. Merit can never be ignored, but even admissions to specialized courses like MBA, Engineering & Medical courses on caste basis do not ensure a better future for students from the remote, rural communities, who have no roads, electricity, public health services, primary education or employment.
