ABVP supports quota, but wants "creamy layer" Supporting reservation for OBCs in elite educational institutions, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), today wanted the creamy layer principle saying financially well-off section among backward classes should not get the benefit of quota.
"Creamy layer principle should be applied to ensure that benefit of reservations go to real backward sections,"
Recommendations of Chinnappa Reddy Commission (which had suggested applying economic criterion for reservations) should be adopted. There should be reservation for economically weaker sections too.
Alongwith reservations, there should be an increase in seats in government medical and engineering colleges, ABVP has demanded.
Terming reservations as a "historic need", ABVP also appealed to agitating medical students to see to it that medical services are not affected due to their agitation.
It also criticised the government for recent baton-charge on protesting students at governor's residence here.
