Advantages and Disadvantages of Reservation System in India:<\/strong> The reservation system in India is a system of affirmative action in India that provides historically deprived groups representation in the education, employment, and political sectors. Based on the provisions provided in the Indian Constitution, it allows the Indian government to set reserved quotas or seats, which lower the qualifications needed in exams, job openings, etc., for \u201csocially and economically backward citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reservation is primarily given to all three groups: Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes, also known as SC, ST, and OBC, respectively. Earlier reservation was only given to SCs and STs but was later extended to OBCs in 1992 after implementing the Mandal Commission report.<\/p>\n

The reservation system in Indian law is a form of affirmative action wherein a percentage of seats or quotas are reserved in the public sector units (PSUs), union and state civil services, services in the union and state government departments, and all public and private educational institutions, except in the religious or linguistic minority edu\u00adcational institutions. The Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) or the socially and economically backward communities who were previously inadequately represented in these services and institutions are now provided with the reservation facility. The reservation policy is also implemented for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes for representation in the Parliament of India.<\/p>\n

The reservation issue has remained a cause of disagreement between the reserved and the non-reserved sections of the society. While the unreserved segments keep opposing the provision, the neediest sections from within the reserved segments are hardly aware of how to benefit from the provision or whether there are such provisions.<\/p>\n

Hence in this article, we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of the reservation system in India to understand whether we need the reservations or not.<\/p>\n
