Solution

The Constitution of India provides for reservation to promote social justice for SCs, STs, OBCs, and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS). Key provisions include:

  • Article 15(4) & 15(5) – Reservation in educational institutions.
  • Article 16(4) – Reservation in public employment.
  • Articles 330 & 332 – Reserved seats in Parliament and State Assemblies.
  • Article 335 – Representation in services while maintaining efficiency.

The 103rd Amendment (2019) added a 10% quota for EWS in jobs and education. These provisions help ensure equality and fair representation for weaker sections of society.
