Claim :Birsa Munda Tribal University in Gujarat announced job vacancies in management, none of which are given to SC/ST/OBC people
Fact :The advertisement shows single job vacancies, where reservation norms do not apply
Reservation in India is provided to Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) at the rate of 15%, 7.5% and 27%, respectively, in case of direct recruitment on all India basis by open competition.
The reservation system in India is designed to promote inclusivity and ensure equal opportunities to communities that have faced social and economic disadvantages due to the age-old caste system. Reservation aims to uplift historically marginalized communities, ensuring they have equal opportunities in education, employment, and political representation. By providing reserved positions in government jobs and institutions, reservation helps economically disadvantaged groups gain financial stability. Reservation addresses centuries of social exclusion and discrimination faced by SC, ST, and OBC communities. It ensures diverse representation in public sectors, fostering inclusivity in various fields. Reserved seats in legislatures allow marginalized communities to have a voice in decision-making processes.
On social media, especially on X, a post sharing a recruitment notice shared by the Birsa Munda University is in circulation with the claim that not a single post has been dedicated to SC/ST/OBC. It is because they are looked down upon.
The caption in Hindi goes as ‘गुजरात की बिरसा मुंडा ट्राइबल यूनिवर्सिटी में मैनेजमेंट के लिए वेकेंसी निकाली गई। यहां एक भी पद SC/ST/OBC के लोगों को नहीं दिया गया है। क्यों? क्योंकि यह वर्ग व्यवस्था चलाने के लिए फिट नहीं है। कहां से आया यह विचार? मनुस्मृति के अध्याय 10 का श्लोक 129 पढ़ो। "एकं एव तु शूद्रस्य प्रभुः कर्म समादिशत्। एतस्यैव हि सेवा अर्थं जन्म शूद्रस्य कीर्तितम्।" अर्थात् शूद्र का एक ही मुख्य कर्तव्य है, और वह है अन्य तीन वर्णों की सेवा करना। यहां से।‘
When translated, it claims “Birsa Munda Tribal University, Gujarat has announced a vacancy in the management quota. Not a single post has been given to SC/ST/OBC people. Why? Because these communities are not fit to run a class system. Where did this idea come from? Read verse 129 of Chapter 10 of the Manusmriti. "But the Lord commanded the Sudra to do only one thing. For this is the meaning of service, and the birth of a Sudra is mentioned. That is, the Shudra has only one main duty, and that is to serve the other three castes.”
Here is the Archive link of the Claim.
Fact Check:
The claim is Misleading. The notification shows single job vacancies, for which reservation norms do not apply. These positions are open for all, which means candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC can also apply.
The recruitment notice shows that the number of posts for all the management positions is only 1.
According to the Supreme Court ruling declared in September 2023, reservation for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes would not apply if the government was filling a single post in a cadre. However, it clarified that if a person from the reserved category was already in government employment and eligible to be selected to the single post through departmental feeder route promotion, then appointing him to the single post would not be vitiated.
According to the Supreme Court of India, in cases where there is only one vacancy in a single cadre post, reservation does not apply; meaning if a single vacancy arises in a cadre, it is treated as a general category position and cannot be filled through a reserved category, as the concept of "adequate representation" which forms the basis of reservation becomes irrelevant in such a scenario.
Therefore, the claim that the Birsa Munda University has ignored reservation candidates while releasing notification for job vacancies in the Management positions is Misleading. The positions are being filled following the Supreme Court ruling that the single cadre vacancies will not follow reservation rules. These positions are open for all, where candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC can also apply.
