Click to play videoAhmedabad : The director of the biggest B-school in India, the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad says reservation can never be a long-term solution and that the Government should first concentrate on improving the basic quality of life and education of the deprived sections.
Says Dr Bakul Dholakia, "Anyone who says that you have to create quotas is basically taking a very short-term view of the problem. And short-term solutions certainly don't last for a long time. So you have to take the hard way out and try and improve the quality of lives of the deprived classes."
Meanwhile an IIM-A alumni and now the managing director of Tata Industries Limited, Kishore Chaukar, says there should be an alternative to quotas in the private sector.
He feels that reservations will not improve the situation of the backward classes of the country.
"India has 330 million able bodied people seeking remunerative employment. The organised sector has potential to create employment for 60 million. What problem are we trying to solve? What percentage of people are going to get benefited? Chaukar says.
