HOW TO GET SOFTWARE TO DECIDE OBC QUOTA / AND DYNAMICALLY ?

 

Pandora’s Box ?

 

 

A few weeks ago, Lok Sabha passed a constitutional amendment bill, allowing States to prepare their own OBC lists

 

MY TAKE :

 

Ø  I get a feeling that the Central Government has passed-on the BUCK to the State Governments

 

Ø  To placate the OBC community, States would launch state-wide surveys of their OBC population, in order to determine :

 

#   Total OBC population in the State – and its percentage to the State

      population

 

#   Within that “ total OBC population “, caste and sub-caste wise break-up (

      since each sub-caste would  demand its share in the overall QUOTA

      permissible !

      

Ø  Such “ survey – exercises “ will open up a PANDORA’s BOX !  Genie let out of the bottle !

 

Ø  Now , remembering that,

 

#   Each and every OBC is not present in each and every State

 

#   Even wherever present, its “ absolute number “ and “ percentage “, would

      differ widely, from one State to another,

      

-    there would be need to compile a TABULATION as shown below :

===================================================

 

            STATE-WISE   POPULATION  OF  OBC  ( Lakhs  / Percentage )

 

Srl	Caste Name	Andaman	Andhra	Assam	------	--------	-----	Telengana	TOTAL
1	Karen
2	Bhatus
3	Mopas
	----
	-----
2585	------

 

Ø  To get some idea of the exercise which States would need to undertake ( call it STATE-WISE MINI CENSUS or SPR – State Population Register ), take a look at the following tabulation :
