This document summarizes a research paper on studying the attitudes of students in higher and professional education towards reservations. It finds that:
1. Girls are generally more supportive than boys of reservations for widows and low-income groups, whereas boys are more opposed to caste-based reservations.
2. Over 95% of students feel amendments are needed to current reservation policies.
3. The research concludes that reservation policies are lowering education standards and causing frustration. Equality in education should be based on individuals' intelligence and aptitude rather than group identity.

The Impact of Educational Background and Professional Training on Human Right...ijtsrd
This study investigated the impact of educational background and professional training on human rights awareness among secondary school teachers in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India. The key findings reveal that higher levels of education, particularly a master’s degree, and fields of study related to education, humanities, or social sciences are associated with greater human rights awareness among teachers. Additionally, both pre service teacher training and in service professional development programs focused on human rights education significantly enhance teacher’s knowledge, skills, and competencies in promoting human rights principles in their classrooms.

Difficulties in Higher Education for Persons with Disabilities An OverviewYogeshIJTSRD
According to the study done on teachers of higher education need to develop pedagogic practices and curricula that takes into account of the diverse interests and needs of students in each class. The study also suggests that educations that are student centered, inclusive of several differences, and relevant in the conditions of the subject are likely to extend opportunities for academic involution to a wider range of students. A study shows that disabled students were likely especially to be studying creative arts and design subjects and to be represented in vocational courses such as medicine, teaching and nursing, where professional bodies impose fitness to practice standards and disabled students’ degree outcomes were generally poorer than those of non disabled students.

Attitude of Secondary School Teachers towards Equitable Education in Coimbato...ijtsrd
Equitable Education System was proposed in the state of Tamil Nadu. It was felt that by following this education system we could afford impartial education to all school children irrespective of region such as rural and urban, upper and lower caste, and religion etc. This new system of education came into existence after a lot of oppositions, obstacles and confusions. Determining attitude and efforts to advance a new system of education is very much essential. Attitude of teachers, students and parents about a new educational system influences the choices and national development. Teachers and parents have a supreme responsibility in the mental and physical growth of the students. Their attitude is one of the most important variables in the education of children. Successful and effective implementation of a new system of education depends upon the knowledge of teachers and their positive attitudes towards it. Thus, the study of teachers' attitude towards Equitable Education becomes indispensable to the implementation plans. These observations initiated the investigator to undertake the present study, “Attitude of Secondary School Teachers towards Equitable Education in Coimbatore District†G. Jayanthi | Dr. K.

A Study on Importance of Guidance and Counseling Services in Secondary School...ijtsrd
The researcher found it necessary to establish the role of guidance and counseling. The findings are illustrated in table. Guidance and counseling services are essential elements in discipline management of people in all societies. This paper reviews the guidance and counseling at schools across the India. “The Guidance programmed assumes a lot of importance for secondary schools as the Indian society is undergoing rapid change, socially as well as economically coupled with the changes in the values and life style of people”. Consequently round pegs are inserted in square holes and square pegs at round holes, resulting in wastage of human services. Due to this reason it is therefore necessary to have well organized guidance program to remove the defect. Society itself and its demand are continuously changing and becoming more and more complex and without any guidance program it is not possible for a child to cope with the changing society. P.

Investigations were carried out to see the effect of pesticide 'companion' on the proximal composition and enzyme namely amylase, GOT and GPT of whole green gram in the early stages of germination. The findings revealed that the pesticides increase the enzyme activity in the early stages of germination and thus increase the metabolic rate. The Vitamin-C content was also enhanced with the use of pesticide, but there was a decrease in the proximal composition of the gram when treated with pesticide.

Introduction:-
Society creates education and education cre-
ates a new society. All persons are born equal in the
eyes of God, this is an axiom having universal accep-
tance; therefore there should be no discrimination of
any sort against a particular segment of society and
similarly no one should have undue advantage at the
expense of others. According to the famous philoso-
pherSantayana,theprincipleofequalityitselfisdefec-
tive, he says ," Equality of unequal is inequality; it
cannot be equality".
In the history of India the year 1979 acquires
significance, partly owing to the acceptance of the
MandalCommissionreportbythegovernmentofIndia
and partlyowing to the valiance that followed because
of only being against the constitutional principle of
'Equality of opportunity' and also because of imagi-
nary fears of the students of socially advantaged sec-
tions of the society that they will be deprived of what
was their due because ofmerit. In the words ofNani.A
.Palkhiwala," Theavowed decisionoftheIndiangov-
ernmenttoimplement'withoutanydilution'theMandal
report (which had been wisely kept in cold storage for
morethanadecade)isa'HimalayanBlunder'.Hefurther
adds -but the implementation of the Mandal report
would go against the basic structure of the constitu-
tion. Our thoughtless action to achieve the thoughtful
object of doing justice to the backward castes can be
allowed to prevail only by scrapping the nobel consti-
tution and promulgating a backward constitution for a
backward nation.
Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru's opinion is worth
mentioning here, he said - " I dislike any kind of reser-
vation more particularly in service .I react strongly
against anything which leads to inefficiency and sec-
ond rate standards .But if we go in for reservations on

here means education best suited to the intelligence and aptitude of every child. The purpose of the study is to find the attitude
of the students of higher and professional education towards reservation. A sample of 300 students of professional colleges
of Durg (C.G) has been taken for the study.

folly but disaster . Let us help the backward groups by
all means , but never at the cost of efficiency."
Ideally no injustice should be done to the
meritorious,irrespectiveofhisclass,casteorreligion.
Any policy that does injustice to the merit injures the
societyinthelongrun.Onlyonthegroundsofpolitical

DelimitationsofTheStudy:-
1. It is primarily a comparative study by nature. 2. The
sampleincluded 150 students ofprofessionalcolleges
of Chhattisgarh only. 3. The attitudes of students may
be affected by the family environment or some other
causes. 4. There is a possibility of the negative atti-
tude of students for some reserved categories just
because they have read or heard about them nega-
tively. 5. There is a possibility of positive attitude of
students for some reserved categories just because of
a soft corner for them.
UniverseForTheStudy:-
For the present study the accessible population
comprisesofthe94collegesofhigherand professional
education (73 under the affiliation of Pt. Ravishankar
shuklauniversity,Raipurand21undertheaffiliationof
SwamiVivekanandTechnicaluniversity,Bhilai)located
in Durg district.
SampleForTheStudy:-
Random sampling technique was opted for the
study .On random basis the students from 30 different
colleges have been selected. Total 300 students were
selected for the study.
ToolsForTheStudy:-
For the present study the investigator has
used aselfprepared 'Questionnaire'as atoolto find the
attitude of students of higher and professional educa-
tion towards reservation in higher and professional
education. It consists of 60 items under 6 major heads
ofReservationforgirls,ReservationforWidows,Res-
ervationforLowIncomeGroup,Reservation onCaste
basis, Reservation for Descendents of freedom fight-
ers and Sainiks, Need for amendments in reservation
policies.
Findings of The Study :-
Table showing percentage of the girls and boys in
favour and against reservation for different categories
It is evident from the above table that there exists
significant difference in the attitude of students (girls
and boys) of higher and professional education to-
wards reservation for various categories. Girls show
more positive attitude for reservation for Widows and
low income group. Whereas , 95.33 % students show
their responses against any sort of reservation in edu-
cation and feel the need of amendments in reservation
policies.
Suggestions :-
1. The selection in higher and professional studies
should be only on the basis of merit so as to main-
tain the educational standards. 2. Students of back-
ward classes , low income, physical handicap or any
othercategoryshould beprovided withprovisionslike
fee concession, free books and other relevant facili-
ties but not reservation. 3. Reserved category stu-
dentsshould alwaysbe giventheideathatitisthemerit
or intelligence which will ultimately contribute to the
progress of our country and not reservation. 4.Aware-
ness should be developed in the society regarding the
harms ofreservation to the common people and it ben-
efits to the political parties.
Conclusion:-
It can be concluded that ,today the educational
standards are falling down due to such reservation
policies, these policies are developing a negative atti-
tude among the students and professionals .Frustra-
tion ,distress and unsatisfaction can be seen in the
present society because of such policies. Equality of
educational opportunities means the education best
suited to the intelligence and aptitude of every child.
For more than 60 years those who availed the benefits
of reservation are now well placed and access com-
mand over all the necessary resources. The flawed
concept of reservation completely ignoring the eco-
nomicandsocialstatusofthebeneficiariesisoneofthe
reason that even after 60 years of its existence , reser-
vations could not lift the status of backward classes.
The societyof intellectualIndians todaywant equality
of educational opportunities in education but not at
the cost of efficiency.
