SC, ST Employees’ Associations seek quota in private sector
CID Deputy Superintendent of Police and founder of Viswa organisation N. Kalidas has said that continuation of reservations in the government sector was necessary and it was the wish of the Constitution’s architect B.R. Ambedkar who strived to ensure equality for Scheduled Castes and Tribes in the country. He said that many people were talking against reservations under the guise of achievement of economic equality while ignoring the fact that reservations were aimed to minimise social imbalances. Mr. Kalidas was the chief guest for a seminar on Reservations and Social Justice organised by the Forum of SC and ST Employees’ Associations representing employee outfits from 20 government departments including railways, telecom, postal, commercial taxes, revenue and medical and health.
