Caste based reservation has negatively impacted the self-esteem of beneficiaries and deepened social divisions:
97% of central government jobs and seats in central higher education institutions reserved for Other Backward Classes have gone to just 25% of the communities in the list while 37% of the communities have zero representation in jobs and educational institutions:

Because of these vacancies, existing employees have to perform the work of 2 or 3 people in spite of getting the salary corresponding to one person, which is unfair to them:
No surveys have been conducted by the Union government to ascertain whether the overall social and economic status of particular Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have improved due to the policy of reservation:
