Limitations:
A limited target audience thus did not have a fair representation of all
sections of the society and income groups.
Since only urban audience were participants other income groups were
not taken into consideration and thus the perspective can be biased.
Conversion of quantitative data in to qualitative data
Dominance of one member; less participation by a few members in the
group.
The moderator had to keep on asking questions and the group became
like an interview-group discussion.
Moderators inputs may have led to a change in the participants
perspective.
Analysis:
There was a common consensus that the rationale behind why reservation
system was implanted it was good. But it is now being exploited and has
been tarnished.
All or most participants had either encountered instances of where the
system was misused or have heard their close ones experiencing it.
50% participants feel that system is being heavily exploited and hence
should be done away with. Others feel it was good but needs new reforms
now.
A general opinion was drawn up that reservations should take the
economic background of the people into consideration before they can

-Selfish interest of the politicians and bureaucrats should not impact the
reservation system
Changing the system is the need of the hour as it is leading to division in
the society. Currently as per the government jobs and 15% students
admitted to universities must be from SCs and for the STs there's a
reservation of about 7.5%. Other than this stake governments also follow
their own reservation policies respectively based upon the population
constitution of each state. So nearly 50% seats are reserved which is a lot
& has thus created a negatively in the minds of the general quota people.
