The Quota bill is laying in the bag of HRD Ministry’s standing committee. This quota bill was passed by Cabinet which may led to make 27% reservation compulsory in Aided Educational Institutions. Students are protesting against quota bill. Here are the comments of some of the personalities of Education Field. Shekhar Chaudhary, Director, IIM Kolkata Now that the government has passed the quota implementation bill, we have no option but to implement it. We need to create more hostels and classrooms in order to implement it. We have to also recruit more faculty. As far as funds are concerned, we have some reserves, the rest we are expecting from the government. S K Dube, director, IIT Kharagpur For IIT Kharagpur funds were never a problem. We are getting consultancies and sponsorships from alumni to sustain our standard since the government has decided to go ahead with the decision to implement quota. But recruiting the required number of faculty members will take time as the remuneration for professors is well below international standards. Binod K Khaitan, President, Faculty Association, AIIMS There are 236 medical colleges in India. AIIMS is a premier institute. Nothing else except merit should be the criterion for getting a seat at AIIMS. We must open more government-aided medical colleges and bring back the glory to existing medical colleges by increasing their funding and infrastructure. Deepak Pental, Vice Chancellor, Delhi University We need the infrastructure to accommodate the increase in number of students. For this , a proposal has been submitted to University Grants Commission (UGC) that will be forwarded to the Planning Commissions. We will implement Quota in a phased manner over three years.

IIM Grads Unite Against Quota
IIM students on Thursday joined ranks with medical students to protest the OBC quota proposal. Unlike AIIMS medicos, who braved tear-gas shells and water canons in New Delhi, the protest by BMA students was unexpectedly sedate. "Very corporate style," as a passer-by commented.
A group of around 70 students, claiming to represent, 470 students of the institute, walked across the campus holding fliickering candles as a mark of protest and at the end of it they called a customary press conference where journalists were handed out a well-scripted press note. The students steered clear of any controversy

WHEN IT COMES TO RESERVATIONS, PMK AND DMK PREFER HINDI AND NOT TAMIL
Pro reservationationists ironically favour Muslims who only speak Hindi at home or Nayudus and Reddys who speak only Telugu at home. At the same time they treat Tamil-speaking Brahmins and Chettiars as foreign invaders by excluding them . They also claim to fight for the Tamil cause….by dividing Tamil society!!? PMK, DMK, ADMK etc reject creamy layer, support the cruel 2-tumbler system of Southern Tamil Nadu and now demand extended reservation. PMK leader will go Delhi, Hyderabad and Bombay to promote reservation rather than setting up Tamil learning centers in those places. This shows that Tamil Nadu policitians don’t mind loosing their self respect and prefer to worship their Hindi masters than to work for an integrated Tamil society. Incidently the PMK health minister has made Hindi compulsory for medicine, the the DMK surface transport minister has made Hindi compulsory on national roads even in Tamil Nadu.
It is quite intesting to see that these ‘Tamil’ parties are discretely pushing Hindi people on Tamilnadu’s reserved list even though they publicly known to be ‘guardians of Tamil’.
