To ensure the similarity of opportunity’, it is necessary to give special opportunity for some persons. The main purpose of reservation is to provide opportunities for growth to the neglected and backward sections of society for their social, economic and political development so that they can be at par with the mainstream of society.
The Government, in all its schemes, gives priority to women, people of the disadvantaged sections, poor people and differentily abled people. Some seats in the country’s parliament and state assemblies have been reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Likewise for the women and other backward classes some posts are reserved in local bodies and in government jobs.
