Quota thingy

this is in response to a post from Vijay @ http://vijayshriram.blogspot.com/ i have supplied here my response to his article on 'quota'.
Just my thoughts,
How comfy would the political guys be if,
1. The Doctor they visit has come up entirely on quota – education, job, and promotion. Why even the schedule for treatment or operation on a particular day is rotated on quota basis?
2. The pilot navigating the politicians’ plane has come through quota – education, job, and promotion?
3. The commando the political person is being protected by, say, the SPG (Special Protection Group) has been privileged by quota – education, job, and promotion? Is it Ok if the commando misses the Mark (say Terrorist) by 30% accuracy?

See somewhere the quota thing has to stop, to confirm excellence standards – education –ok, fair enough. Then at least while recruiting and promoting people let them go by merit list.

Let these parties first implement 27% quota in their political parties and governments, add to it a 33% reservation bill for women – they lose 60% here! Did I hear somebody faint;-)

I would say if one generation of children whose parents have not cleared beyond 5th grade of schooling could avail Quota and then it ceases with it. The person has to be smart to find a job in the market. Even if one of the parents has cleared 10+ years of study quota should not be given.

Scholarships – only economically weak sections…immaterial of their religion or community or families’ educational history.
Free education till degree and beyond for first generation ‘quota’ learners’ government should take the brunt – and yes of course ensure through bonds that these guys should work in India at least for say 5yrs from completion of education .

This way in a case where we have a first generation learner – he/she will find quota and also scholarship if he/she is smart enough.
If we have a 2nd or 3rd generation learner from an economically weak section, he/she will find, that the scholarship will help them realize their goal and that is education.
Further the government has to create and ensure sustenance of employment opportunities so that after 25 to 40 years both the quota and scholarship things can done away with – this way the financial burden on the exchequer would be only for 25 to 40 years.

No quota or reservation in IITS and IIMS let the management take a call on that, best left for Merit to decide as it has been all this while.

Similarly No Quota in Civil services, Defense and Police forces + private sector.

If the government is hell bent on going the quota way, let it have ‘quota’ educational institutions, ‘quota’ work places, ‘quota’ living places etc. and let the customer decide if he/she wants to study/work/live/buy services from such ‘quota’ places.

Peace
H
