Advances Under The Reservations System
The public sector jobs are divided into 4 categories: Class I (or Group A), Class II (or Group B), Class III (or Group C) and Class IV (or Group D). The Class I employees take up 2.2% of the public sector workforce, the Class II employees take up 3.3% of the public sector workforce, the Class III employees take up 66.8% of the public sector workforce, and the Class IV employees take up 27.2% of the public sector workforce. Below are the percentages of the SC employees in the Central government:
| Class | 1959 | 1965 | 1974 | 1984 | 1995 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | 1.18 | 1.64 | 3.2 | 6.92 | 10.12 |
| II | 2.38 | 2.82 | 4.6 | 10.36 | 12.67 |
| III | 6.95 | 8.88 | 10.3 | 13.98 | 16.15 |
| IV | 17.24 (excludes sweepers) | 17.75 | 18.6 | 20.2 | 21.26 (excludes sweepers) |

Famous quotes containing the words advances, reservations and/or system:
“The protection of a ten-year-old girl from her father’s advances is a necessary condition of social order, but the protection of the father from temptation is a necessary condition of his continued social adjustment. The protections that are built up in the child against desire for the parent become the essential counterpart to the attitudes in the parent that protect the child.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word “human.””
—Suzanne Lafollette (1893–1983)
“In a universe that is all gradations of matter, from gross to fine to finer, so that we end up with everything we are composed of in a lattice, a grid, a mesh, a mist, where particles or movements so small we cannot observe them are held in a strict and accurate web, that is nevertheless nonexistent to the eyes we use for ordinary living—in this system of fine and finer, where then is the substance of a thought?”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
