Rationalise quota system
There is a reason for the quota system to be in place. When we speak of the quota system, naturally the question that comes is: Who should be entitled to quota? I think only those groups of people who are disadvantaged due to their socio-economic situation should enjoy the quota privilege.
As the population of our country increases, more and more students are lining up to study in public universities and acquire a government job. In this context, the unreasonably high quota privilege reserved for those who do not necessarily fall into the category of underprivileged groups is causing those deprived of it great distress. Hence, thousands of students are protesting in different areas and demanding that the quota system be repealed or reformed. The government should listen to the protesters.
