To Hon’ble Prime Minister and Respected Cabinet Members of The Republic of India,
With the General Elections approaching in a few months, we understand the pressure that you are under. Just like an ordinary student leaves no stone unturned, by studying all the available reference material based on his mental capability, you too are studying the citizens and their requirements. I understand that as a government functioning in a democratic country, you represent me and therefore, it is your duty to address my requirements.
An ordinary common man in India basically first wants to survive, then live for himself and then purchase luxury. Food, clothing and shelter is something that an ordinary common man needs to survive. To live, he needs better quality of the things previously mentioned, plus education and anything over and above that is luxury for him. Unfortunately, the priority of our policymakers has changed.
There is no need of reservation for general category on the basis of economic background. The reason being simple. The more the number of reserved seats a college has, the college will definitely find ways and means to exploit money from the remaining students. Thus, maybe a brilliant student who has the right aptitude for the course may back out because of the exorbitant fees charged by the college.
Instead of passing the law for reservation, the common man would have been more happier if the government would have reduced the overall fees of the schools and colleges. Though legally taking donation is not allowed, a lot of schools take huge amounts in the name of donations, spend some amount in the name of infrastructure and barely pay their teachers. Due to this, there has been a substantial reduction in the quality of education. Our education system is crazily expensive and the quality is going down day by day. If we need quality education, we need to spend a bomb to get our children educated in the best schools.
Instead of passing the law on reservation, if you would have only concentrated on the quality of education, which at present only promotes in mugging and makes our future dull for our students. The present education course has beautifully managed to kill the innocence and creativity of our children and instead of directing them to a bright future, we are indirectly directing them towards suicide. Even today, some schools have teacher student ratio of 75:1 for pre-primary.
Instead of passing the law on reservation, if you would have made it mandatory for the schools to pay fair minimum wages to their teachers, probably the standard of education would have increased.
Reservation will not create an opportunity for the deprived, because they will never learn to live, just survive on the money provided by other’s hard work i.e. the tax payer’s money. Reservation will not give us quality doctors, lawyers, statesmen, and engineers but only create more friction in our society and drain the best brains to countries abroad.
At present, for the government, increasing the quality of education and reducing the cost of education should be important. Increasing reservations will only lead to destruction of the country because the rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer. As a tax payer, Mother and as a Citizen of this country, this is my humble request.
PROMOTE INTELLECT, NOT CASTE OR ECONOMIC BACKGROUND, PROVIDE THE BEST INFRASTRUCTURE FOR EDUCATION AT THE LOWEST COST.
