Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) has urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to conduct an immediate and comprehensive review of the current reservation policy in the Union Territory.

The Association emphasized that such a review would be a critical step to ensure fairness and justice for all students.

JKSA referenced the commitment made in the party’s election manifesto, which assured the people of Jammu and Kashmir that the reservation policy would be revisited to better reflect the region’s demographic realities.

JKSA asserted that this review is essential to uphold the foundational purpose of reservations in India: to redress historical injustices while preserving a meritocratic system.

The Association stated that the reservation system was intended to create opportunities for marginalized communities, balanced with merit-based considerations. However, it expressed concern that the current policy disproportionately benefits certain categories, significantly limiting opportunities for students competing in open merit.

JKSA urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to initiate a thorough review of the reservation framework to ensure it aligns with justice, equity, and meritocracy. “Our aim is to foster a fair and balanced system that uplifts those in genuine need while ensuring all deserving candidates have access to opportunities,” it stated.

It also advocated for proportional representation based on population, proposing a more equitable distribution of opportunities that reflects the demographic composition of Jammu and Kashmir. It also called for merit-based opportunities, stressing the need to recognize individual achievements and ensure candidates are assessed fairly based on their abilities and dedication.

Emphasizing the importance of a transparent and inclusive approach by involving a broad range of stakeholders in the review process to build public trust and accountability, JKSA said the government should take inputs from students, teachers, and policy experts for reviewing the J&K quota policy to build trust and accountability.

“We are not opposed to reservation as a concept,” it clarified, “but we believe in fairness and balance within the system. The current disproportionate policy undermines the merit-based approach essential for fostering equal opportunities and excellence.”

Calling for a temporary hold on new recruitments until the reservation policy is comprehensively overhauled, JKSA argued that continuing recruitment under the current policy could result in injustices to open merit students.

“When a community is granted reservation beyond its socio-economic disadvantages, the very principle of reservation is compromised,” it noted.

“We hope this session will provide a platform for the government to reassure the youth of Jammu and Kashmir that their aspirations and needs are being recognized and acted upon. We believe that a fair and balanced reservation policy will not only uplift those in need but also ensure that opportunities are available to all deserving candidates,” JKSA added.
