The Karnataka assembly results have firmed up the Madhya Pradesh Congress leadership’s resolve to join hands with the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Samajwadi Party before the assembly poll in the state due in November this year. The Congress has learned useful lessons from the fractured mandate in the southern state which could have been a clear majority for the alliance had the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) entered into a pre-election pact. That the two parties still managed to cobble together a post-poll alliance to form a rag-tag government is a matter of only poor consolation for the party. Like Janata Dal (S) in Karnataka, the BSP could prove to be a spoiler for the Congress in Madhya Pradesh unless they agree on seat sharing before the elections.

AVENUES IN JAPAN 

Students  in  the  state  have  been  encouraged  to  learn  Japanese   language,  as  job  avenues  would   be  open  for  youths.  The  State  Government  had  in  this  connection come  to  a  conclusion  with  the  Asian  Development  Bank  in  encouraging  the  youths  and  students  in    various  institutions for the introduction of “Language Course  and  Skill  Oriented  Training”.  This would  open  up  the  scope for  a  wider  range  of  education  and  also  at  the  same  time  provide  gainful   job  opportunities  in  the  different  industrial  units  existing   in  Japan.   Educational  institutions  in  the  state  have  therefore  been  asked  to  take  interest  in  the  Japanese  language  course   for  inclusion  in  the  curriculum  of  the   institutions.  The  youths  already  have   talents,  which  can  be  further  sharpen and  shaped  according  to  the  needs  and  requirements. The Asian Development Bank, besides  would  explore  other  avenues  of development in the state including agriculture, road construction horticulture, food  production,  health,  general  education  and  sports.

The plague of reservation is failing to produce proficient citizens in this developing nation. Political parties have harvested its profits for their own benefit and not for whom it was introduced which is very much evident in every election manifesto of different parties. Indian constitution was adopted by the republic of India in 1950, where it is enacted that reservation should be given for those who were left out of society due to caste based discrimination. It was based on the principle enshrined in the constitution for equal opportunity. Although, initially the time frame was fixed for a period of 10 years, however it has been elasticized more than six and half decades by now either due to social reasons or to reap political mileage. Instead of thinking of its abolition, new additions are still happening. This reservation system was launched to upgrade poor and backward people living in different parts during and after the transition period of independent India so that, they can come up to a certain level of others. Policy makers of earlier and succeeding Govt. have failed to achieve its value till date. Today the condition is such, instead of trying to lessen the gap, the gorge of this caste based reservations systems is deepening and also spreading amongst the different communities.
