People may argue with the recent Honorable Supreme Court of India remark highlighting the need of reservation in higher Education and quota removed in institutions, but how do you see it?
Recently, there was an important statement from the Honorable Supreme Court of India (a bench of Justices Dipak Misra and P C Pant) that despite several reminders to the central and state governments, both the parties failed to make merit the primary criteria for admissions into the mainstream and important courses.
There was a remark:
“We hope and trust that the Government of India and the state governments shall seriously consider this aspect of the matter without delay and appropriate guidelines shall be evolved” and added that “We echo the same feeling and reiterate the aspirations of others so that authorities can objectively assess and approach the situation so that the national interest can become paramount”.
The statement clearly highlights the need of reservation and quota removed in institutions of higher education if we have to think of the national interest.
There has been many arguments recently about the reservation in India. Many of us know that our politicians use reservation as a tool to secure their vote bank. It is us who need to take a step ahead and place our national interest first and then think accordingly.
We need not to forget that India is still a developing nation, and it is facing a lot of issues and hurdles with the reservation and quota system being one of them. The Honorable Supreme Court of India questioning the current higher education system and reservation itself speaks volumes and raises a question that whether implementing having a quota system really helped the nation?
I think it has somewhat ignited a downturn, and pushed the progressing nation on the back foot.
Many believe including me that the reservation policy in India especially in the education system should be purely made on the basis of the economic conditions of the applicant and the compensation should be provided on the basis of the same.
Another important note from the statement that suggests a lot on the topic itself
“The fond hope has remained in the sphere of hope… The said privilege remains unchanged, as if (it is) to compete with eternity”
We should be on the right path, and in order to improve the quality of medical and other important services, we have to restructure our reservation policies in the higher education institutions.
Merit Should Be the Basis of Education Not Reservation. Caste and Equality Cannot Be Achieved Through Quota System.
