The Supreme Court decision rightly rejects the notion that quotas affect efficiency

The Supreme Court verdict upholding a Karnataka law to preserve the consequential seniority of Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates promoted on the basis of reservation is notable for being the first instance of quantifiable data being used to justify reservation. After a similar 2002 law was struck down on the ground that there was no data, as required by the judgment in Nagaraj (2006), the Karnataka government appointed a committee to collect data on the “backwardness” of SC/ST communities, the inadequacy of their representation in the services and the overall impact of reservation on the efficiency of the administration — parameters laid down in the 2006 verdict as constitutional limitations on the power to extend reservation in employment. Based on the report, the State enacted a fresh law, which has now been upheld on the ground that it is compliant with the Nagaraj formulation, as well as the clarification found in Jarnail Singh (2018). A key principle in this decision is that where reservation for SC/ST candidates is concerned, there is no need to demonstrate the ‘backwardness’ of the community. The other pre-requisites of a valid system — quantifiable data on the ‘inadequacy of representation’ for classes of people identified for reservation, and an assessment of the impact of such quota on the “efficiency of administration” — remain valid. Justice D.Y. Chandrachud’s judgment applies the rule emerging from Jarnail Singh, which decided that Nagaraj did not require reconsideration. At the same time, it held that Nagaraj was not right in insisting on data to justify the ‘backwardness’ of SC/ST communities, as it contradicted a nine-judge Bench decision in Indra Sawhney (1992).
The judgment places in perspective the historical and social justification for according reservation, rejecting the argument that quotas, by themselves, affect administrative “efficiency”. It says merit lies not only in performance but also in achieving goals such as promotion of equality, and that India’s transformative Constitution envisages not just a formal equality of opportunity but the achievement of substantive equality. It accepts the subjective satisfaction of the government in deciding the adequacy of representation, subject to the norm that there should be relevant material before it. One must also recognise the constant tension between legislative intent and judicial interpretation. Most judgments on affirmative action indicate that the courts are laying down constitutional limitations, lest the equality norm, a basic feature of the Constitution, be given the go-by. It is welcome that the backwardness of the SCs and STs no more needs to be demonstrated. Policy-makers should heed the appeal contained in the judgment: there is no antithesis between the concept of efficiency and the inclusion of diverse sections of society in the administration. While data on representation may be a requirement, the idea that reservation has an adverse effect on administration must be rejected.

Found on the moon! NASA's quest for the discovery of Chandrayaan-1 in India




WASHINGTON - Claims that there is water on some parts of the moon are now being confirmed. Chandrayaan-1, which was sent to India's ISRO by the moon, was informed that the water was frozen in the form of snow in dark and cool places in the Polar region of the Chand. Meanwhile, NASA has confirmed the possibility of having water in the polar polar region based on this data. Chandrayaan-1 was launched by India about ten years ago. }

 With the sign of sufficient snow on the lunar surface, the chances of getting enough water to live in the next lunar and as well as the future of the moon have increased. In the management of the PNS Journal, the ice is scattered elsewhere and it is said to have been deposited with Lunar Ketes on the Moon's South Pole.

There is also a large amount of snow on the North Pole of the Moon, which is also more scattered. Scientists were told that NASA's Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) was told to have water on the surface of the moon in the form of ice. The device was sent to M3 with Istro's Chandrayaan-1.

  This water is found in places where the sun's light can never reach due to the shadowed moon. The temperature here has never gone above 156 degrees. Earlier researchers were expected to have snow on the Moon's South Pole.
