As the State Government is slated to initiate discussions on the sample survey report on the economically weaker sections (EWS) among the forward communities by the Kerala State Commission for Economically Backward Classes among Forward Communities (KSCEBCFC), the Nair Service Society (NSS) has urged the authorities to consider the issues raised by it
In a statement, NSS general secretary G. Sukumaran Nair said a comprehensive survey and a detailed socio-economic and communal census were needed to determine the EWS among forward communities.
“The Justice A.V. Ramakrishna Pillai Commission had recommended a comprehensive survey to determine reservation criteria for forward communities, which also included the current representational status of reserved communities in Government services. Such a survey is critical in ascertaining the status of each community and ensure the Constitutional right of reservation to the EWS among the forward communities in its real sense,” Mr. Nair said.
