About the committee

The agenda focuses on re-evaluating India’s reservation system in education, employment, and government institutions. Over seven decades after independence, the debate continues on whether the current framework of caste-based reservation still serves its original purpose of social justice or needs reform to adapt to modern socio-economic realities. While some political parties advocate for expanding reservation to ensure greater representation of backward and marginalized communities, others emphasize reviewing or rationalizing it to prevent misuse and uphold meritocracy. The discussion aims to find a balanced approach that promotes equality, safeguards constitutional values, and reflects the changing structure of Indian society.
