Hi...

Article 29: Protection of interests of minorities

1. Any section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof having a distinct language, script or culture of its own shall have the right to conserve the same.

2. No citizen shall be denied admission into any educational institution maintained by the State or receiving aid out of State funds on grounds only of religion, race, caste, language or any of them

Article 30: Right of minorities to establish and administer

educational institutions –

1) All minorities whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.

1-A) In making any law providing for the compulsory acquisition of any property of an educational institution established and administered by a minority, referred to in clause (1), the State shall ensure that the amount fixed by or determined under such law for the acquisition of such property is such as would not restrict or abrogate the right guaranteed under that clause.

2) The State shall not in granting aid to educational institutions,discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language.

 

Reservation policy : in India is a process of reserving certain percentage of seats (maximum 50%) for a certain class such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward classes, etc. in Government educational institutions, government jobs, etc.

 (a)Reservations in employment

-A fixed percentage of India's government and public sector jobs are made exclusive for categories of people largely based on their caste or tribe.  

 (b)Reservations in education

-In India scholarships or student aid is available for—SCs, STs, BCs, OBCs, women, Muslims, and other minorities. Only about 0.6% of scholarships or student aid in India is based on merit, given the grossly inadequate representation of above mentioned categories in employment and education due to historic, societal and cultural reasons.

Hope this helps....Thank U
