Reservation in Education: Justified or not?

Reservation in India is a fervently discussed point. Generally it was implied specially for dalits, at that point it was stretched out to include OBC's as well. At first, the cases that were reported were in backward in their most genuine sense. But, progressively the governmental policy regarding minorities in society of reservation strategy is being weakened and wrecked for cheap political benefits. Indian education system it appears is good to go to get corrupted, because of the reservation framework. I completely agree that the reservation concept was presented with the point of assisting students belonging from the backward classes. Generally, these backward classes had been denied fundamental rights previously. In this way, presenting reservation amount for them in educational institutions seemed well and good in those days. But, the circumstance has changed at this point. An ever increasing number of individuals are misusing this station based reservation framework and playing with it for their own favorable position. The more deserving applicants are denied seats for different courses! Let me discuss some interesting realities about this entire reservation system which seems needless at points. 



MONETARILY SOUND STUDENTS MANAGE TO MAKE USE OF THE RESERVATION QUOTA EASILY

For what reason was reservation introduced? It was to help students belonging from lower classes of the general public. As I referenced previously, they were denied fundamental rights since early days. Normally, they had poor financial background, no admittance to fundamental comforts and so on. Therefore, for them, reservation was a shelter.

 However, nowadays, students who belong from SC, ST and OBC categories, who have great money assets, are also utilizing reservation quota to guarantee their 'reserved seat'! There are rules relating to 'creamy layer' and 'non creamy layer'. Yet at the same time, such standards can undoubtedly be overcome! Isn't it unjustified? Students from decent background are denied seats, so a SC, ST or OBC student, who is monetarily stable can sit down on that seat!The 'velvety layer' measures ought to be made a lot stricter. Regardless of which position an understudy hails from, if his/her family has sound money related assets, they shouldn't approach reservation amount.

DESERVING STUDENTS FROM GENERAL CATEGORY HAVE TO STRUGGLE AND COMPROMISE 

Yes, the general category is suffering, so are the actual downtrodden SC/STs and so is India. Students belonging from general category in India are frustrated. When a student from general category who has scored above 90% in his boards, sees a student from backward category who hardly scored 60% in the same class of the same college it is disappointing and disturbing.

SUGGESTION TO THE POLICY MAKERS

On the off chance that you ask me, reservation ought to be depend on the monetary background of students and their family. The standards with respect to 'creamy and non creamy layer' ought to be made stricter. Additionally, the records ought to be all around checked and ensured that no unfairness is included, that no monetarily wealthy student figures out how to misuse the reservation quota!
