ii)Ka Expert Committee kam dei ban mushlia ïa ka District Level Employment kaba la pynshai ha ka Clause 2.2. Namar kumba la iohi ba bun ki ïa mynjur ïa kane.
B.To ngin ïa pynshong nia ïa ki mat ba la buh da kito ki nongmih khmat;
1.Ka Nongrim ban pynshong kat kum ka jingbun paid hapdeng u Khasi-Pnar bad u Garo – Haba ka sorkar kmie ka ri India kala rai ban ai bhah ïa ki kam/post ïa ki SC bad ST, ka la bud da ka kyndon kaba ka la pynshong Nongrim ha ka jingbun paid jong ki SC bad ST.
Ka Mandal Commision report 1980 ha ka sla No 6, ka kynthoh ba la sdang ban ai lad ha ka jingthung kam ïa ki jaid “bapoh” naduh ka snem 1934; namar ym pat don jingkheiñ katno ban mang ïa ka jingbhah kam, ha u snem 1943 ki mang 8.5% ïa ki SC ban ai kam. Ha u snem 1946 ynda la ïoh ïa ka jngkheiñ briew (Census) ka sorkar, ka la mang 12.5 % ia ki SC kat kum ka jingbun briew jong ki. Ha kata ka por ym shym la lah ban mang ka jingbhah kam ïa ki ST ba ym pat don napdeng jong ki, kiba biang ha ka pule dangle ban ai kam.
Nalor kane, sa ka sorkar India kat kum ka OM Dated 23.01.2014, (GOI, Ministry of Personnel Public Grievance & Pensions; Deptt. of Personnel and Training, paragraph 1.7,) ka kynthoh ba kat kum ka Census 1961 la shem ba ka jingbun briew ki SC bad ki ST (haba ïa nujor bad ka jingbun briew haka ri), kala kiewsha ka 14.64 % ha ki SC bad 6.80 % haki ST. Na kata ka daw ïa ka reservation jong ki SC naka 12.5 % la pynkiew sha ka 15 % bad na ka bynta ki ST la pynkiew naka 5 % sha ka 7.5 %, kaba la pynshong Nongrim kat kum ka jingbun briew jong ki.
Sa ka Supreme Court haka mukot-duma, Case No. WP(C) No. 000079-000079/1979, R. K. Sabharwal & Ors Vs. State of Punjab & Ors, dated 10.02.1995, ka kynthoh ba ka % jong ka reservation ka dei ka jingmih khmat/representation ha ka ïoh kam ioh jam ki ba sahdien (backward) kaba dei ban shim na ka jingbun briew kita kiba sahdien da kaba ïa nujor bad ka jingbun briew ka jylla baroh kawei (based on the proportion worked out in relation to their populations”).
Sa ha Kiwei kiwei ki jylla ha ka ri India ki mang ïa ka % reservation ïa ki SC & ST kat kum ka jingbun paid jong ki ha la ka jylla; kum ka nuksa, ha Bihar ki briew SC ki don 16%, ka jingbhah kam/reservation ïa ki, la mang 16%, ki briew ST ki don 1.3%, ka reservation ïa ki la mang 1%. Ha Tamil Nadu, ki SC ki don briew 20%, ka reservation ïa ki ka dei 18%, ki ST ki don briew 1%, ka reservation ïa ki la mang 1%. Ha Jharkhand ki SC ki don briew 12.08% ka reservation ïa ki ka dei 12%, bad ki ST ha Jharkhand ki don 26.21%, ka reservation ïa ki la mang 26%. Ha Mahashtra ki SC ki don briew 12% bad ka reservation ïa ki ka dei 13%, ki ST ki don briew 8% bad ka reservation ïa ki la mang 7%.(Census 2011)
Kat kum ki jingshisha ba la pyni haneng ngi ïohi, ba ka jingbhah thung kam, lane reservation ne representation jong ki SC & ST la pynshong Nongrim kat kum ka jingbun briew jong ki ha la ki jong ki jong ki jylla bad ha kaba ïadei bad ki kam ka Central, ka sorkar kmie ka mang ïa ka jingbhah kat kum ka jingbun briew ki SC/ST ha ka ri baroh kawei.
2. Ban pynshong Nongrim ha ka ïoh ka kot – Ka Article 46, ka Constitution ka la buh ka aiñ ba kyrpang na ka bynta ki Schedule Tribe (kumjuh ruh ïa ki Schedule Caste) ba ka sorkar jylla ka dei ban plie bad thaw ka lad kumno ban pynkiew ïa ka roi ka par, ka ïoh ka kot bad ïa ka jingnang jingstad ki ST/SC. Namar kata ka jingioh jingkot kam dei ban shim kum ka Nongrim ha ka jingbhah kam ne reservation/representation, namar, kumba la ong ba dei ka kamram ka sorkar jylla ban leh ïa kata.
Nalor kata, ka Supreme Court ha ka Case jong ka Indira Sawhney Vs Union Govt and Ors, dated 13.12.1999, ka la kynthoh ba ïa ka ïoh ka kot (income) ym lah ban shim kum ka Nongrim (criteria) ban bynta ïa ka jingbhah kam ïa ki SC/ST.
3. Ban mang quota la ka jong ïa ki nongkyndong bad la ka jong ïa ki nongsor – Namar la bun snem ngi ïohi ba bun kiba kham mih sha khmat, la ha ka kam ka jam ne ha ka pule-dangle dei kiba na wan na nongkyndong. Ban mang ka jingbhah ha kane ka Nongrim ka long kaba eh, khamtam ba kane ka Review ai ka jing-bhah kam, da ka Expert Committee, ka dei hapdeng u Khasi – Pnar bad u Garo, ym dei hapdeng para Khasi-Pnar ne hapdeng para Garo.
4. Ka jingbhah kam/reservation hapoh ki District Level- Katkum ka jingbthah ka Reservation Policy ha ka clause 2.2, ka reservation hapoh ka District Level ka long kaba biang, (wat la ka jingpyntrei kam ne implementation ka la long kaba bakla haduh ka 2023, la batai ïa kane ha kathie ka paragraph Charum). Ka Expert Committee kam dei ban ktah ïa kane.
5. Ban pynshong nongrim kat kum ki statistic jong ka Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) ba la pynkhreh da Niti Ayog-Ka SDG la pynmih da ka UNO ha u snem 2015, ka la kyntu ïa ki ri ka pyrthei baroh ban pyntrei kam ïa kaneprogramme. Ka SDG ka dei ka programme ba la pynkhreh ban pyntrei kam da ki ri ka pyrthei da ka jingthmu ban pynkiew ïa ka roi ka par ha ka im-lang sah-lang jong ki jaid bynriew ha ka pyrthei bad ban ïada ïa ka mariang (committed to achieving sustainable development in its three dimensions – econo-mic, social and environmental). Da ka jingpyntrei kam ïa ka SDG la khmih lynti ban pynkut ïa ka jingkyrduh jingkordit ha baroh kylleng ka pyrthei ha u snem 2030.
Ka ri India ka la sdang ban pyntrei kam ïa ka SDG naduh u snem 2018 bad ka la buh jingthmu ba mar shiteng na kiba don ha ka jingduk jingkyrduh mynta, yn pynlong ïa ki kiba dap ba biang noh ha u snem 2030.
Na katei ka jingthmu ban pyntrei kam ïa ka SDG, ngi sngewthuh ba nyngkong eh, ka long ba lyngba ka jingpyntreikam ïa ka SDG, ka sorkar kmie ka lah ban ithuh ïa ka jingpyntrei kam ïa ka lad jingpynroi jingpar ha ki jylla bapher bapher, bad nangta ban mang pisa ïa ki, ban bynta ïa ki programme, ki scheme bad kiwei kiwei ki lad ban pynroi bad pynkiew ïa ka roi ka par jong ki jylla bapher bapher. Kumjuh ruh ban pynshlur ïa ki nongbei tyngka shimet khamtam sha ki jylla ba dang sah dien kum ka ha ki jylla ha NE.
Kaba ar ka long ba ha kiwei kiwei ki jylla ka ri India ki pyndonkam ïa ka SDG tang ha ka state level namar ba ym pat don ki jingkheiñ jingdiah kiba biang ha ki district level, kumjuh ruh kan long hi kumta ha Meghalaya. Kam mut ba ha ki District ka jylla Meghalaya ki jingkheiñ jingdiah ka kham bha bad tikna ban ha ki District jong kiwei kiwei ki jylla ka ri India.
