Reservation in education and jobs

Reservation in education and jobs refers to policies that allocate a certain percentage of seats or positions to specific groups, typically those who are historically disadvantaged or marginalized. This includes Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes in countries like India. The aim is to promote equality and provide these groups with better opportunities to access education and employment, helping to correct social imbalances and foster inclusivity. By reserving spots, governments seek to ensure fair representation and improve the socio-economic status of underrepresented communities.
