Reservation
I guess it’s high time I put forth my view on reservation. The point is that we had Dr. Raj Reddy, the founding Director of the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, speaking at the inauguration of our new facility on this topic.
His major point was that the majority of students who get into professional courses are from the urban environment. Very few rural students have got into a good engineering college, due to lack of quality education. The Government should take steps to identify the talented individuals and equip them with the necessary skills to make them an all round person. Simply pulling a random guy and telling him - “Look, you have a seat in IIM-A thanks to reservation. Go there” is not going to be any use if the guy is not talented. The problem comes from the fact that there is not enough quality education in the rural areas, and even then, the talented individuals are often unable to afford it.

I think we should do away with reservation totally and have a complete merit based system! Only then quality work can be done and this way our economy can pick up!

A good schooling and not reservations is the solution to empower the downtrodden. The academia in our country is seeing increased political intrusion . If this continues, it will spell doom for our country.
