YOUTH FOR EQUALITY

YOUTH FOR EQUALITY

The 93rd Amendment allows the Government to increase quota based on castes to 49.5% from the existing 22.5%. In Maharashtra, all PRIVATE COLLEGES will also have 50% quota.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

In short, your months of hard-work don’t assure you a seat in the institute you have dreamt about. The Government’s concept of social equality implies over-riding the students with merit. Your caste – something you have never even thought about, can seal your fate.

THE ‘C’ IN ‘CAT’ AND ‘CET’ STANDS FOR ‘CASTE’ INSTEAD OF ‘COMMON’

Choose to fight for your right to equality, or soon become a victim to the quota system.

• The IITs have an intake of around 5000 students. Increasing reservations by 27% would cause 1350 deserving students from general category to lose out on IIT education.
• In the best medical institute, Rank 101 can’t find a seat but Rank 10000 can do so in the reserved category in Maharashtra.
• Currently, the cut-off for Orthopaedic stream ends at Rank 135 for general category and a shocking Rank 2500 for reserved candidates.

If the bill is passed, all IITs, IIMs, JNU, AIIMS, NIFT, NIFD, Law colleges, RECs, NITs and Central and State level institutes will have to implement these quotas.

Quotas in higher education now…What next ?? Quotas in jobs ?? Quotas in Parliament and State Legislatures ?? Quotas in our Cricket team ??

Before elections in just 5 states, reservations increase by 27%. Before general elections…??

HOW CAN YOU AFFECT A CHANGE ?

Will you wait till they reserve every seat you deserve? Every voice counts. We believe that the 93rd Amendment violates our constitutional right to equality and we will fight it till the very end. YOUTH FOR EQUALITY is a movement that started in Delhi and is spreading all across the country. Students, Parents, Teachers, Senior citizens, all are welcome to be a part of us. Come together to speak out against this law which divides people under the guise of empowering them. This is not a battle between castes; It’s an opportunity for INDIANS of all castes and religions to unite and refuse to be treated as mere vote-banks. Now YOU have a choice. Either watch the Government use vote-bank politics OR unite and send out a strong message.

YFE will be organizing rallies, protests and signature campaigns. Help us make this a larger movement. Don’t think that it won’t affect you. IT AFFECTS EVERY ONE OF US.
