On the 1st July, we stayed at our village Ramgundam. There I just wanted to go round to see, and in the process I also went to see my old government  school where I have studied up to 4th class, then from 5th class onwards we all went  to the only school at Ramgundam Zilla Parishad High school which is about 2 km away from my village. After seeing the school in my village, some stray thoughts have come to my mind, and I feel  some of my FB may also appreciate it.  The village school is now a High School but  after seeing the students studying there in that school, I strongly feel that the reservations are required for the students studying in only such government schools. Every one should ask oneself which category of children need reservations? It is the children who are studying in convent or corporate schools or children studying in government schools? Well nourished children studying in well furnished schools or malnourished children studying in ill furnished Govt schools? The children who study under strict supervision in private schools or those children studying under no supervision in government schools? We all know rich sections send their wards to international schools in cities including Hyderabad. Do they need support of reservations just because they belong to so-called OBCs, SCs & STs or minorities? 

Reservations should be given to those who are socially disadvantaged, economically deprived educationally discriminated. But where do you find them? After seeing the school, I felt, no surveys are needed or statistics are required to identify them as they are found in government schools and these are the children who need the support because in government schools the academic standards the less said the better it is as the parents of these children come from lower strata of society and they show little interest in their children and take no interest in functioning of the school. They are voiceless sections of the society.  The Ramagundam school lacks infrastructure, and it may the same case with other schools in other villages as well. Some schools that have infrastructure, there will be no strength and in some schools might have strength but there may not be sufficient number of teachers.  After looking at this case in particular I strongly feel that these children studying in these government schools do need the support of reservations. Maybe its time to rethink caste based reservations to economic condition reservations.
