Is Premji right to go against job quotas ?

No room for quota at Wipro: Premji
Bangalore, April. 19 (PTI): IT major Wipro, 80 per cent of whose revenue comes from abroad, today said there was no room for job quotas in the company.

A day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked industries to broadbase employment and make it representative, Wipro Chairman Azim Premji said his firm would recruit people based only on merit.

"We compete with global companies. We are primarily in the service business in terms of the mix of our consolidated revenues", he said, adding that "the service business is highly people-dependent. People make you (the company) successful or the people make you less successful".

Premji pointed that close to 80 per cent of Wipro's global revenues come from the US, Europe, Japan and parts of the Middle-East.

"We have no alternative but to hire the best talent available within India and the best talent available globally to man our positions -- critical positions, non-critical positions, (and) programming positions", he said.

While responding to a question on HRD Minister Arjun Singh's announcement that 27 per cent of seats in higher educational institutions would be earmarked for Other Backward Classes, Premji said he understood the compulsions "the country is going through in terms of reservation."

However, "we (Wipro) are an organisation which requires selection on merit".

What we Indians need now is Casteist Quota sys (none / 0) (#1)
by Unregistered Visitors on Thu Apr 27, 2006 at 03:47:46 AM EST

Another blog on this.. but still nothing happens buddy.

I fail to understand why the rich LC guys fail to understand this simple logic. I fail to understand the benefit to those needy sections when mr.Singh is increasing the quota? Have any one of them ever justified or thought about it?

1. What is the purpose of reservation?
Very few understand this. The purpose is to lift the people who are living in very bad conditions to the normal standards of living. And mostly if you guys go and see the villages, you will understand. There is a need for reservation and not only reservation but also help is needed to these people.

2. Is the current reservation system helping?
Frankly, the answer is a big NO. Why? This is because out of the 50 seats reserved, maybe 1 or 2 of the seats will go for the sector to which it has to help. So it is actually counter productive. The other seats are taken over by the undeserving (like rich lower caste people) candidates and thereby a massive misuse of the system can be seen. One more important thing to note is that these person who have come in using quota will not be able to sustain in a competitive world.

3. Who is preventing the upliftment of dalits?
Its the rich category of obc's. Most of us are not opposing the reservations, but instead they are only insisting that these BENEFITS GO TO THE DESERVED CANDIDATES and ALSO THE KIND OF BENEFITS THAT GO TO THEM. Also they indulge in unnecessary upper-caste bashing to mislead everyone.

4. Is it really necessary for having reservations in IIM's etc?
NO. Why? It really doesnt help the poor dalit who is in need. It is only for the elite dalits/sc/obc to become more richer and richer. They and their offsprints will keep preventing the deserving candidates and thereby the privilges does not reach the needy.

5. Do they need reservations in job?
Yes in govt and No in pvt.
NO - Once the education has been provided, the person will get the job based on his own capacity. Once the dalit/obc/sc/st has been educated, he can get the job on his own merit. He will be able to compete provided we set up a competing environment. Otherwise it will be counter-productive for himself as well as the nation.
Yes - 90% of entry level jobs in government has to be given to these people. This will help them to stabilise in their life, give good education to their offsprings and thereby create a social equality. You dont need to make a person RICH. All that this reservation needs to do is to make a person afford the education to their children. The entire social structure will change. This reservation will help the dalits who have not been able to pursue higher education due to various reasons and bring them on par with others in the society.

6. Is reservations justified for Promotions in govt reserved jobs?
Yes - But this should be LIMITED TO 2 PROMOTIONS. After that he should make an effort to compete with the rest for further promotions. This will build a competitive nature and is good both for himself as well as the country.

7. Is reservation justified in private sector?
No - Private sectors are profit driven. There are lot of obc/st working in private sector even today. Moreover anything in private sector means we are majorly touching the urban population where reservation is not necessary. There should not be any language/religion/caste in private sector.

8. Who are the people insisting on increasing reservations and upper caste bashing?
Its the elite obcs/dalits etc who have had a good education etc. This is the greedy section in the obcs/dalits/st's who want to get richer and richer and they dont care what happens to other members of their own community. They are pointing the fingers at the upper-caste members to escape from the eyes of deserving candidates who are not getting benefitted. SO THIS GREEDY SECTION WILL NEVER AGREE TO WHAT WE SAY. THEY WOULD NEVER WANT THE UNDERPRIVILGED IN THEIR COMMUNITY TO IMPROVE SINCE THESE PPL ARE ENJOYING BENEFITS IN THEIR NAME.

9. Any viable solution? How can we know who needs reservation and who does not? Can we prevent misuse?
Yes. though misuse cannot be prevented 100%, it can be reduced drastically.
Following ideas to take india further into future.
a. Eradicate caste system. (should not have to fill in any caste column in any forms)
b. Free and standard education to be provided by govt. until 12th (PUC). In villages, any child going to school with regular attendance will get some stipend/clothes/food every week.
c. Create a paid team of "social-helpers" whose job is only to monitor, educate and make sure the benefits reach them.
d. Fully functional libraries providing text books for the students, both in rural and urban areas.
e. Interest free long term educational loans (payable only to colleges/institutions) to candidates who want to pursue higher education.
f. 90% - 100% reservations to the entry level jobs in government for students who studied in government schools/colleges. 2 bonus promotions for these reserved category people.
g. Some benefits for pvt sector companies employing persons who have passed out studying in govt schools/colleges.

10. Looks like the "caste" is not mentioned in prev. solution?
Yes. The whole idea of the system is to create social equality and eradicate the devil called "caste"

11. Will eradicating "caste" bring social equality?
Yes. Along with generations, people will forget associating themselves with caste. With more people getting educated, will bring in a sense of confidence and new ideas. It will push them to explore new fields.

12. Will it benefit the opressed obc/sc/st?
Of course. Designed for that. Do you think increasing quotas in IIT/IIM will help them?

12. But what about IIT/IIM?
Who are we helping by increasing quotas in Engineering/medical/IIT/IIM? Have any idea?

13. But what about the oppressed obc's/sc/st. They will be backward.
Can give numerous examples but for now, respected Dr.APJ kalam would be sufficient eg. Reservations are not able to bring the best out of them. The obc's/st/sc are not inferior. Just allow them to compete, but from the school level. They cannot face the competition all of a sudden at IIT level having come thru reservations all along.

14. But still i want to vote for the politician of my caste....
Cool. Just answer these for yourself. Do you think only the person from your caste will do good for you? Has laloo helped all yadavs? Does he know every member of yadav community? As a CM is that is job? Do you think he will bring in water only to your house in your area? Finally do you think only a politician from your caste can do anything good for you?

Now there will be whole lot of other bunches like Dr.rajan and his set of imposters singing the same old thing.. "5000 years of...blah blah blah". Carry on. Let me waste no more time...
