What are the implications of lateral entry into Civil Services on reservation policy in India
Explore the impact of lateral entry on reservation in the Indian Civil Services system.
- Lateral entry may challenge the existing reservation policy by potentially bypassing reservation quotas, leading to reduced representation of marginalized communities in the civil services.
- It could create disparities in opportunities for candidates from reserved categories as lateral entrants may not have to go through the same competitive selection process.
- Lateral entry may result in decreased diversity within the Indian Civil Services if reservations are not implemented for these new recruits.
- However, if the government ensures that reservation policies are still applicable to lateral entries, it can help maintain inclusivity in the civil services.
- Proper implementation of reservation policies for lateral entries is crucial to ensure equitable representation and opportunities for all sections of society.
