Book of Integration Council New - Ministry of Home Affairs

I wish to once again congratulate the Government for carrying out the
Special Recruitment drive for filling up backlog vacancies of SCs/STs.
However, reservation in private sector still remains an unfulfilled aspiration.
National integration cannot be achieved by Government alone. Every citizen
of this country has an equal duty and responsibility to work for and achieve
this ideal. The Indian corporate
world whose role is increasing tremendously and which has been the biggest
beneficiary of the policies of economic liberalization over the last 15 years
also has an onerous responsibility to contribute to national integration. They
can do it by giving due representation to all sections of society in their
workforce. Unfortunately, most Corporate houses are paying only lip-service
to this noble idea. Since the Corporate sector has not been able to voluntarily
work towards social justice, the Government needs to come forward and
implement reservation in private sector which will go a long way in achieving
the ideals of a free, fair and just society.
