Capacity Building over Reservation

This Article Impart the Emphasis on the emergence of RESERVATION issue and how it’s roots Affect the system in a complex system…

After the declaration of Nepal as Federal Democratic Republic Country in the constitution, we have formally stepped in an inclusiveness in all institutions nationally. No matter the institution is governmental or non-governmental, religious or the social organizations, the inclusive whelm has just taken place is a good symbol for collective growth with participatory approach of all people theoretically. But in the practicality we still cannot be pretty sure about the inclusiveness and equitable development in the lives of people. The question that prevails after the declaration of theoretical inclusiveness through constitution is, what ensures the Inclusiveness? How can we achieve the values gained by the long debate into the livelihoods of people?

There has been always a debate in the process of including the marginalized groups into the mainstream of the governance, globally.  In this or that way governments has always tried to keep the people in its main stream simply because to have a control over them. The ideas of controlling the people was completely rational during the primitive governance systems. But, as the society come into the global communications, the control from the hands of rulers has always slept as nightmare of the rulers. In the present context, we have tried to participate people into all decision making process either by direct participation or by the representatives of the people. Which surely ensures the concern of the people as main stakeholders of the development process.

The participation of the underdeveloped communities as the sub set of the developing communities has been a challenge. Allocation of the quota system into the institutional and political system is ensured as the process of inclusion of excluded group representatives being marginalized ones. Which is simply not a solution to achieve the equitable society. The deprived people are to be made competent enough in a whole matrix of complex systems of developed behavior. The grassroots of the society where the unequal distribution of resources is being created either by geography or by the pre-existed ruling ideologies is to be the first target to be identified and eliminated.

The real inclusion can only happen if and only if there are the human rights practically be cared by the government and its all stakeholders. The rights of the people are not to be taken as burden by the government and responsibility of a citizen is duly practiced by the people. As a matter of fate, we have reached a political system where the government is not ideologically in favor of taking people rights as burden after promulgation of new constitution. But creating a responsible individual with fulfilling his duties is a complex issue. This complex can only be solved by adopting the strategic and intervention action plans of making people to choose their own fate with their own individual rationality. Strategic interventions with practical education with problem solving attitude, social cooperatives with the behavioral unity and involvement in development, legalizing compulsion in bearing the corporate responsibilities, discouragement of hatred in between any communities in the name of gender, cast, religion, socio-cultural status, economic differentiations etc. need to be completely eliminated. As the individual becomes conscious of its rights and duties, the society starts radiating the quality needs. As the quality needs are predominant, the natural selection of the best among better is achieved from the same society that we ever expected of the necessity of the reservation to participate in the primary social institutions. Thus the inclusion of the every marginalized group can be achieved by creating competitive human resource by building up the capacity in them rather than simply selecting workable ones from less capable bunch of jobseekers.

In the underdeveloped and developing countries like Nepal, the issue of participation is always raised as the advocacy theory by the political leaders of the exclusive societies. Where the very first intention becomes the public consumption, which leads to the popularism. During course of which they simply seek the shortcut solutions to the problem with weak identification of roots of the problems. Short term solutions are created in the course very rapidly and the long term objectives lie under the shadow of the other short term successive solutions. The ultimate goal of making capable citizen to free competitions gets lost and the illusion of reservation as a solution continues for unidentified duration in future. Hence the never ending process to the real solutions is created with virtual solutions through quota system or the reservation system where the public institutions get weaker and weaker. The strong governing system is to be maintained with incremental development and implication process to the continuous momentum of highly qualified bureaucrats.

Hence, the unending cycle of making marginalized groups into the mainstream of the government system is to be eliminated with the tools of consistent government and other all social institutions in continuous and consistent behavior of problem solving techniques.
