In a bid to provide succour to the disaster affected people, especially students, the Uttarakhand government is going to give two per cent reservation in Government technical colleges of the State. In this regard a note is being drafted by the department concerned and will be produced before the next Cabinet meeting.
On condition of anonymity a senior official, who visited to disaster affected areas, realised that disaster affected families' student are meritorious and need to be promoted so he decided to moot an idea about the reservation for the disaster affected areas' students in technical colleges. If this proposal gets accepted then disaster affected areas students can be seen in technical colleges.
He further said that political parties are putting their best effort about how to get mileage over other by politicising the disaster and no one seems serious about to redress their grievances. This intiative may be very small contribution from state government side but its impact would be more serious in future. In a nutshell you can say that in coming disaster affected areas would be technically sound and will make their contribution in state develoment and nation as well.
