Promoting Social Justice

As part of their effort to implement the constitution, both state and central governments create specific schemes for implementation in tribal areas or in area that have a high Dalit population. For example, the government provides for free or subsidized hostels for students of Dalit and Adivasi communities so that they can avail of education facilities that may not be available in their localities. In addition to providing certain facilities, the government also operates through laws to ensure that concrete steps are taken to end inequality in the system. One such law/policy is the reservation policy that today is both significant and highly contentious. The laws which reserve seats in education and government employment for Dalit and Adivasis are based on an important argument- that in a society. Governments across India have their own list of scheduled castes. Scheduled tribes and backward and most backward castes. The central government too has its list. Students applying to educational institutions and those applying for posts government ar expected to furnish proof of their caste or tribe status, in the form of caste and tribe certificates. If a particular Dalit caste or a certain tribe is on the government list, then a candidate from that caste or tribe can avail of the benefit of reservation.
