Quotas for upper caste poor in private colleges draws flak

Live Mint  

New Delhi: For the first time, private higher education institutions, both aided and unaided, will have to reserve 10% seats for the economically weaker sections, according to the reservation bill passed in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. “The Constitution Bill, 2019, provides for reservation for economically weaker section of the society in higher educational institutions, whether aided or unaided by the state other than the minority educational institutions referred to in Article 30 of the Constitution,” the bill said. The bill, in its present form, will face resistance from private education providers as they do not reserve seats for Scheduled Caste, Schedule Tribe or Other Backward Classes students, said academicians and education entrepreneurs. Can the government shift its responsibility to the private sector?” asked Harivansh Chaturvedi, alternate president of the Education Promotion Society of India, a federation of private education players.
