Scheduled Caste reservations

Scheduled Caste reservations are specific provisions in India that allocate a certain percentage of government jobs, educational seats, and seats in legislative bodies to historically disadvantaged communities known as Scheduled Castes (SCs). These reservations aim to promote social equity by providing better opportunities and representation to groups that have faced long-standing discrimination and marginalization. The system ensures that SCs can participate more fully in social, political, and economic life, helping to reduce inequality and foster inclusive development.
