    Explain the reservation policy and its purpose.

    Answer:

    In accordance with the Constitution, 15% of seats in educational institutions and jobs in government offices are reserved for the Scheduled Castes. Similarly, 7.5% of seats and jobs are reserved for the Scheduled Tribes. These seats and jobs are not open to other communities. However, members of the marginalised communities are required to have certain minimum qualifications to get these seats or jobs, though these qualifications are less stringent than those required to be met by members of the other communities competing .for the 'open' seats or jobs. This provision has been made to bring the marginalised communities at par with the rest of the country.
