We are signing this petition to strongly detest the proposed reservation for OBC's in premier educational institutes.
We would like to call upon the office of Indian President/Prime Minister/ Chief Justice of India to act against the above declaration as:
1. Most of the reserved seats are filled by students belonging to families which have already benefitted from such a reservation earlier. This does not help the needy.
2. By reserving seats in institutes of higher education, government is shying away from it's responsibility of giving quality primary education to all and thereby providing a level playing field.
3. Short sighted politicians use reservations for their political gains and create divisions between the communities.
4. Many students belonging to the so called 'upper castes' are poor and are unable to get decent education while most reserved seats are filled by students who had got a decent education earlier.
5. Many students who fill the reserved seats drop out because they have not been selected based on their merit. This means a precious seat has been wasted in a premier college.
6. Admission to premier institutes is highly competitive and a large number of meritous students are left out because they have been born in a general category family.
7. With time prestige of these premier institutes would degrade as the students would not be admitted based on their merit but on their castes. This is already evident from the skewed placement statistics of the IIT's and IIM's.
We feel that there should be no reservations based solely on the principles of caste and government should instead focus on providing quality primary education to all.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
Each and every single effort counts
