Education vs Reservation in India

This could be quite surprising but that is reality that there are so many children who have capability to become a good scholar, a good leader , and more over a good citizen.They even don't get any opportunity to over come from their hesitation and show their talent.

They live whole life without knowing that what are their rights as being a citizen of their own country.

They even don't know what is actually meaning of being a citizen or even meaning of citizen. What is the reason behind it : Improper Education?

Could be. But How Can you forget the helplessness of their parents, Do you think that they have proper money to educate them?

I don't think so... When a baby take his/her first breath in that small hut, their parents start thinking that a new member has come and we have to arrange food for him/ her too. And after four or five year he/she will be able to contribute in earning two square meal for the family.

And then in the place of nurturing their amature skills they start earning for their family....

Now your part begin you tell me what is valid reason for this situation ...

• The only money factor

• The illiteracy of their parents

• The social factor

The root cause of this problem could be everlasting poverty which never let them take any action or it could be lack of resources that should be available for at least primary education of those children.

When we discuss about the poverty, we always say that this problem could not be solved because government is not taking proper action against it. But some where common people are also involved in promoting it.

Everybody knows what the condition of education of India is. Especially government running primary schools and middle schools are in a very poor state.

Either their infrastructure is in poor condition or teachers are not available or not good enough to teach them. Do you know why? Now are you thinking about corruption and my reply will be yes.

This area also has not got untouched by that evil name which we are trying to eradicate.

Problem comes because of lack of administration. Government thinks as they have allotted money for primary education of children in cities and rural areas, people will bet benefitted. But the reality is the money which got issued for this noble cause will get disappeared somewhere in these so called ministers and thekedar’s pocket.

They show development and administration of these schools on papers but ground level reality remains unchanged.

We have heard about “School Chale Ham” and “Midday Meal” schemes. What exactly happened with them? Was it a great success? Yes somewhat, but after sometime, these schemes was more a source to fill the pockets of those people who were the so called administrator.

Now you got to know what the root cause of this issue is. Rather than providing reservation in educational and government institution, Government needs to think about the root cause of the issue which is primary education of these children. If everybody will get proper education they will be able to compete and also will get new opportunities across the globe.

Now I need your views, what do you say? Are you in favor of reservation or need or a healthy basic education system for all?
