Kerala government approved a 10% reservation in jobs and educational institutions for economically weak sections in the general category. This will be given over and above the existing 50% reservation. In this video, I will tell you why I think this new scheme is nothing but a Jumla and a Lollipop to appease voters. The data suggests that more than 90% of the general category people are eligible for being ‘Economically weak” and poor according to new criteria (based on my assumptions). So the question arises here, will the real poor people even benefit from this? What is the point of this new reservation? Ironically, people still have to pay income tax despite being eligible under this category.
Kerala PSC examinations from 23rd October will consider this reservation also. Aspirants are asked to obtain the EWS certificate to avail of this reservation. I am not explaining the procedure to obtain the certificate or how to enable the same in Thulsi Kerala psc. I am just giving my opinion on this subject along with the concept of reservation in India.
Many people are questioning my assumption that SC/ST/OBC candidates don't compete with general candidates in open category seats. The reason for my assumption is simple. You must have seen often that even the reserved seats for SC, ST, OBC are lying vacant because there aren't enough candidates to fill them up. Here is a report which shows that OBCs just take up 12% of the jobs, far less than their reserved percentage. Same with SC/ST. Therefore, it is totally ok to assume that they were not really competing for the open category seats.
