Securing EWS Certification: Triumph Amidst Challenges

Striving for Equality: A Student's Journey to EWS Certification

"For the general student, no reservation,
hurdles hinder their deserved elevation."


Reservation sparks debate, but it's crucial in countries like India, where diversity exists but equality, especially in socio-economic terms, is lacking. Achieving unity in diversity requires open conversations and efforts to bridge socio-economic gaps while respecting diversity.

In the world of education and jobs, many general category students face tough challenges without reservation benefits, (while SC/ST/OBC have their allocation) they relies solely on their merit. But there's hope with the Economic Weaker Sections (EWS) reservation, offering 10% reservation to general students, which government recently unveiled a scheme. However getting this certificate isn't easy. 

Due to the minority status granted to SC/ST or OBC and excessive reservation, the general population is increasingly becoming a minority group in the country.

Let's follow the journey of a general category student from Balangir, aspiring to recognised as EWS.The process is full of obstacles and government rules. They needs to prove their family is economically weak, showing details about their home, land (should be below 100 yards), and their family income (should be below 8 lakh annually).

It all starts with a simple form at the tahsildar office. But then, it gets complicated. Officials check everything carefully, adding more problems with different offices, officers and delays (Revenue inspector, Additional tahsildar etc.)

The student tries many times, facing rejection each time. Despite setbacks, he keeps trying because he believes in fairness and equal chances for everyone.

After many (4th) attempts, the student finally succeeds. But he knows the system still needs fixing. It shouldn't be so hard for deserving students to get this certificate.

In the end, getting the EWS certificate is more than just a paper. It's about showing strength, faith in God, determination, and hope in the face of bureaucratic hurdles. It's a reminder to the government that they need to make things easier and fairer for everyone.

The boy's narrative reveals numerous untold tales of politics, law, and administrative deficiencies, which obstruct deserving candidates from obtaining the opportunities they rightly deserve to succeed.


Thank you!

Readers are encouraged to think critically, verify facts, and form their own perspectives. (Someone turned on the TV) I saw a CM of a state talking about a youtube comedy show..yes you hear it right A YOUTUBE SHOW. What has happened in the country that a CM decided to address it ? To answer this question and explain the current situation, Myself Bimal Kumar Mahapatra, along With Sugyan Nanda came up with this blog. Comedy is meant to make people laugh, but sometimes, it can also lead to trouble. But in Today’s world, where outrage spreads faster than context, comedians are constantly at the Wrong side of the story. That’s exactly what happened with India’s Got Latent, a fun show Hosted by Samay Raina, that suddenly found itself at the center of a big controversy. During an Episode, gu...

The Unexpected Path: Embracing Life’s Surprises

 "In life, we don’t get what we expect, sometimes we get better, a joy to reflect." In life, it’s natural to have expectations. We hope for certain outcomes, look forward to specific events, and anticipate the actions of people around us. However, reality often unfolds differently from our plans. Yet, this divergence from our expectations can lead to outcomes even better than we had imagined. We might pray or wish for particular things, but the universe—or God, if you believe—often has a different, grander plan. What we receive may not always align with our desires, but it tends to be exactly what we need. This realization encourages us to trust that we are being guided towards an amazing life, one filled with the experiences we deserve, even if they weren’t what we originally envisioned. Believing in oneself and having patience are crucial. Everything we seek will arrive at the perfect time. When faced with challenges or undesirable situations, it's essential to recogniz...
