An Expierirnce..

Recently i got an opportunity to work as a trainee with a company which is catering his services for aircraft transportation. It was great working with them they were receptive and made various contribution in my learning. During that period i got attached with the recruitment of Air hostesses. it went for almost three days. Within that span of time i made a very interesting observation which i would like to share.

the candidates were been divided into categories of Schedule caste, Schedule tribes, Other backward class and general. On the very first, the SCs were been called for the interview and the marks obtained by them was not very appreciating but then for me it was okay...as marks make no difference for me, next day the STs and the OBCs were been called and the same thing happened regarding marks. the difference came up on the third day when the general candidates came for the interview, the marks scored by them were really good i should appreciate that. being a curious person i asked my senior about the cause and the response was actually beyond my expectations. he told me that since the SCs,STs and OBCs get relaxation of marks so they are never been given more than 55 marks so that they cannot absorb the general candidates seats and this also fills up the reserved seats of them. this meant that the SC, ST and OBC candidates ar taken just to fill up the seats as been instructed by the government. and u all will be amazed that my boss called it one of the rules of recruitment. (by now u all might have known that it is a public sector)

we have a reservation policy in our country which have been constructed for the suppressed deprived and marginalized people so that they can be brought to the mainstream of the society. also it aims to kill the social injustice and discrimination related to them. But it very necessary to know that how far have we been successful in this? do we have really met the goals of the policy or it is just been used as a tool by the political parties to earn votes during elections.

We are definitely giving reservation to them but have definitely failed to except them. they are still been sybolised and labelled as reserved category students or officer in colleges and offices. and it is sad to say that after 50 years also we are there only from where we had started except some achievements which also need to to be looked upon.

Through this blog i wanted to convey that, we need to change our approach and outlook. We are living in 21st century and very proudly call ourselves as modernized people, but modernization is not only wearing costly and branded clothes but also to become sensitive about the issues of our society and make strategic programmes so that we can togatherly bring a change in the society. So will u all help me in constructing and giving a new approach to the reservation policy???
