Mr George, you are not being objective when you put all the blame on quoata system. If reservations are to be blamed then how come ISRO is so succesful ??. You got to understand that good marks in exams do not always make a good scientist. Good research and development is about work culture, work ethic and objective ( and not politically motivated )performance evaluation in the scientific establishment. If these objective systems are not functioning properly you have a bunch of lazy people wasting taxpayers money, idling away their time and tom-tomming dressed-up achievements to create cheap publicity. BTW 50 % reservation does not mean that 50 % scientists in DRDO are from reserved category. Why ? Go figure that out..
