Weightage in Education system

It was really nice to know that some one is thinking of reducing the existing reservation menace and the resulting hatred among groups in a more meaningful way.

LokSatta Party's proposition of

10% marks weitage based on four criteria.
Poverty
Parental education
Rural living
School attended (Government school or low cost private school)

But may be the " poverty" issue will become a menace like white card and make the new proposition go in an unintended direction. Care should be taken to formulate the new changes. We should remember that Dr Ambedkar's Constitution was so wisely drafted that any change proposal should be an improvement over it

Another point. Is there really an end to this? The rural living in all the places is not same. Then how to tackle that? More serious problem like caste resvation is making one ignore the seroiusness of problem that will result with woman reservation. How meaningfully is it serving its purpose.

We really get hopes for brighter future with Dr JayaPrakash Gaaru's blog post like the one given in

Hope these are not just visionary ideas but put into practice.
