An idea !

The link above is to an article in today's edition of The Hindu.
The bottomline- The Tamil Nadu govt. has now made 69% reservation in all institutes- including private- mandatory.

Another state could do the smart thing and not have any reservations and attract the talent , attract the companies to recruit the talent and reap the economic benefits, which in turn can be applied towards the upliftment of the state- including providing good and competitive free schooling and food for the needy children.

Its a long term vision- wonder if anyone will have the guts to implement something like this- ever.
