Abstract

Post Independent India tried to uplift the disadvantaged sections through the inclusive policy of reservation, in education and occupation, so as to enable them to catch up with the main stream society. It is almost five decades since the provision of reservations and welfare inputs to the backward classes in all the states. What is the impact of these welfare inputs? Whether or not these backward classes made use of these reservations and inputs to scale higher education more so in engineering and medical streams of professional education? Whether or not the inclusive policy of reservation resulted in ushering of equality of opportunity in education and subsequently their social empowerment on a scale of social parity is being examined in this paper.  

Key Words: Backward classes: The artisan and castes who ranked just above the so called untouchables in the caste hierarchy and rendered services to other castes. Professional Education: The higher education, specializing in the streams of engineering and medicine, which are ranked as premier in the country.
