Reservation in Education, Employment, Beneficiary group of the reservation System, Excluded from the reservation system, Advantages and Disadvantages of reservation system,
It has been about seventy years since India has attained independence and about the same time that, we have been a republic nation. Our constitution gives us the right to freedom and most importantly to exercise this freedom in an equitable manner. At the same time it is mandatory on the part of the state to ensure that equality prevails in all sections of the society. However, the argument was, that India was not yet free from the bonds of social evils like caste and religion discrimination, untouchability etc. To counter this the government drafted laws regarding the controversial reservation system in the constitution. These laws were to act like an equalizer in the field of play. Now the question that lies in front of us is whether implementing this reservation system has really helped the downtrodden or has it given the oppressed, or rather the ones who claim to be oppressed an undue advantage?
Despite decades of planned development and poverty eradication programs at the national and state levels, poverty continues to persist in India. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) has been a subject of lively debate, which aims at the ‘right to work’ enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household who volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act was approved by the Indian Parliament in September 2005. It was renamed as ‘Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act’ on 2-10-2009. This Act started functioning from 2nd Feb.2006. Initially it was introduced in 200 districts of the country and later extended to all districts in the country. The main aim of this Act is to enhance the purchasing power of rural people. World Development Report 2014 termed it a "stellar example of rural development" and noted economist Amartya Sen also said it is a good Scheme for employment generation in rural areas, but it has to be reformed. This Paper is an attempt to present a review of the “Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act - With Special Reference to Telangana State.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• Protest against reservation
• Arguments advocating needs of reservation
• Needful thingsto be done
5. Reservations are political instruments that deliver a public good
which corrects a socio-economic wrong.
Reservation is also termed as Affirmative action and fair
discrimination.
Reservation in India is a form of affirmative action designed to
improve the well-being of perceived backward and under-
represented communities defined primarily by their 'caste'
(quota-system based on 'gender' or 'religion') is a phenomenon
that commenced with the coming into force of the Indian
Constitution.
6. IN CONSTITUTION OF INDIA
Article 16(4) : Nothing in this Article (16) shall prevent the
state from making any provision for reservation of
appointments or posts in favor of any backward class , which
is not adequately represented in the services under the state.
Article 46 : to promote educational and economic interests of
SC, ST and other weaker sections of society.
Article 14 : to provide equality before law and equal protection
of laws.
Article 15(3) : enabling provision to provide for special
provisions in case of women and children.
8. MAIN OBJECTIVE OF RESERVATION
" The main objective of the Indian reservation system is to increase
the opportunities for enhanced social and educational status (in the
sense better than the previous,until it becomes equal to that enjoyed
by an average member of other communities) of the underprivileged
underprivileged communities and, thus, enable them to take their
rightful place in the mainstream of Indian society.
9. CRITERION OF RESERVATION
• Reservation is given on basis of Caste, Religion.
• Reservation is given on basis of Population(Minority).
*however reservation is given on basis of financial condition, gender
but it is neither sufficient nor fair.
10. WHAT INDIANS THINK ABOUT
RESERVATION
The reservation system has received a mixed
response from Indians since its inception. It has been
praised for diminishing the gap between the upper
and lower castes by allowing the latter to enjoy the
further increased opportunities as the former in jobs,
education and governance by allotting seats
exclusively for them. It has also been criticized for
discouraging a merit-based system and encouraging
vote bank politics.
13. Caste Based Reservation:
• In central government funded higher education institutions, 22.5% of
available seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled
Tribe (ST) students (7.5% for STs and 15%for SCs).
• This reservation percentage has been raised to 49.5% by Including an
additional 27% Reservation for OBCs .
• This ratio is followed even in Parliament and all elections where a few
constituencies are earmarked for those from certain communities
(which will next rotate in 2026 per the Delimitation Commission).
14.
15. Gender Based Reservation:
• In 1993, a constitutional amendment in India called for a random one
third of village council leader, or Pradhan , positions in Gram
panchayat to be reserved for women.
• The Women’s Reservation Bill was passed by the RAJYA SABHA on 9
March 2010 by a majority vote of 186 members in favour and 1
against. As of September 2015, the Lok Sabha has not voted on the
bill.
16. Religion Based Reservation:
• Reservation has also been extended to religious minorities. The
Tamil Nadu government has allotted 3.5% of seats each to
Muslims and Christians, thereby altering the OBC reservation
23% to 30% ( Since it excludes persons belonging to OBC who
are either Muslims or Christians).
• The Government of Andhra Pradesh introduced a law enabling
4% reservations for Muslims in 2004. ( This law was upheld by
Supreme Court of India in an interim order on March 25, 2010.
• Kerala Public Service Commission has a quota of 12% for
Muslims.
17. Status as a Domicile and Others:
• With few exceptions , all jobs under certain State governments are reserved for
those who are domiciled within the jurisdiction of that government. Ex.- Punjab
Engineering College (Chandigarh) 85%of seats were earlier reserved for
Chandigarh-domiciles- now it is 50%.
• There is also some seats reserved for the Jammu and Kashmir MIGRANTS in every
Government- aided educational institute.
• Other includes:-
Terrorist victims
of Kashmir e.g.
Punjab.
Single girl Child
(in Punjab)
18. EXCLUDED FROM RESERVATION
• Constitutional posts : The sons and daughters of the President of India, the Vice-President of
India, Judges of the Supreme Court, the High Courts chairman, the members of Union Public
Service Commission, members of the State Public Service Commission, Chief Election
Commissioner, Comptroller Auditor-General of India or any person holding positions of a
constitutional nature.
• Service Category : Those who have parent(s) that are Class I or Class II officers, or both parents
are Class I or Class II officers but one of them dies or suffers permanent incapacitation . The
criteria used for sons and daughters of Group A and B are the same for the employees of the
Public sector.
• The sons and daughters of parents either or both of whom is or are in the rank of colonel and
above in the army or in equivalent posts in the Navy, the Air Force, and the Paramilitary Force. But
that will hold true
provided that-"the wife of an armed
forces is herself in the
armed forces (i.e., the
category under consideration)
the rule of exclusion will apply
only when she herself
has reached the rank
of Colonel.“"the service
ranks below Colonel of
husband and wife shall
not be clubbed together"
19. ADVANTAGES OF RESERVATION SYSTEM
• Reservation helps socially backward positioned
people or a class to enhance themselves by
putting them forward and encourages them to
sustain and develop themselves.
• Proper application of the reservation system
helps India to grow and develop not only by
helping the backward class people but also by
developing the society.
• Systematic application of reservation system in
education enriches brain power of the country
and makes India better.
20. DISADVANTAGES OF RESERVATION SYSTEM
• Divides people and creates agony and rage
among themselves
• Non filling of posts if proper candidates are not
available
• Castes are given preference instead of merits
• Ill-treatment to reserved employees and
students
• Creates lethargy in reserved category
• Narrows the scopes of general category people
21. • Produces Jealousy and antipathy between caste and caste.
• Evident in Southern India , The members of royal families
also gets benefitted of it. (Do they really need it).
• According to National Employability
report, only 18%
engineers are up to
the standard to the
designated post.
• Why reservation ,
when entrance are
merit based?
23. Why Reservation has become a bane for
people?
Reservation has become a bane for people rather
than a boon mainly because of
Vote bank politics
and
Unfair package distribution
26. WHY PEOPLE ARE AGAINST IT?
What Reservation has done ?
Poor, in an Indian context implies absolute poverty. By
international standards, it is $1.25 a day and 32% of Indian
population in poor according to that definition.
This is the distribution
of poor people by
Caste ,accounting
for split between
rural and urban
population.
27. THE CURRENT SITUATION
• People are arguing that Reservation is no longer Relevant.
• Arguing for reservation Based on economical condition.
• Without access to education , the poor will always be poor.
• Reservation system based on a social net contradicts itself.
• Government
should not play
Robin Hood.
29. ARGUMENTS ADVOCATING NEED OF RESERVATION
• People born in upper cast family have a privilege or
unearned advantage , special right or socio-economic
status.
• The Practical study done by THORAT ET AT related
to employment in private sector highlights the value
and role of socio-economic status.
• Who says that reservation is not paying back ? A
recent Report of UN shows that poverty improvement
rate of India is equivalent to that of USA.
30. WHAT IF WE END RESERVATION RIGHT NOW!!!
While Manual scavenging for many may have ended
as a form of employment, the stigma and
discrimination associated with it lingers on, making it
difficult for former or liberated manual scavengers to
secure alternate livelihood and raising the fear that
people could once again return to manual scavenging
in the absence of other opportunities to support their
families.
31. THEN WHAT TO DO?
yes, we all today have need of reservation. Because there are many
people, who use live in village and are backward. Many of them are
like based firmly on reservation for their existence.
So we simply cannot take
it way ! At least not today.
Reservation , therefore
is the inevitable political
consequence of
correcting the inequality
of opportunity and
many more.
32. AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO
The thing we need to do is only to rise over selfishness. To view
this policy with broader perspective; i.e. Reservation is good.
This is not a issue to ignore away. We all are getting influenced
to it and this is going to be true in future.
Seriously we need a
lot of things done
over it.
Also needs to avoid
movements like that
of Gurger and Patel.
