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) |
The above table shows that over time as the new laws for the reservation systems were passed employment of SC's in Class I,II,III, and IV public sectors increased substantially.
