ABSTRACT:
Social and economic changes in India have led to a change in reservation policy over time. In the latest revision, in 2019, it was extended to economically weaker sections (EWS). For the first time, eligibility is based on family income/ assets instead of caste/community. This has been effected by the Constitution (103rd Amendment) Act, 2019[1]. With limited positions in government and the educational system, this study examines the reservation policy of EWS and also takes into account the potential effect on social and economic conditions. It reviews the legislation, judicial decisions, and literature on the issue of the policy.
Keywords: Reservation, Economically Weaker Section (EWS), and Constitutional Amendment.

ABSTRACT:
There have been many improvements in human rights in the last decades as a result of international and national laws. Although many countries have improved their human rights records, violations continue to occur due to several political, social and economic challenges. There are many threats to human rights, including repressive governments, failure to protect human rights in the digital environment and inequalities as a result of globalisation, climate change and pandemics. There are violent and unjust situations against many vulnerable people and communities. There have been several improvements in human rights as a result of activities and initiatives at all levels and especially through the use of new means of communication. Each nation and region should be assessed to take advantage of available opportunities for improvement. There is an urgent need for improved global and local commitment to achieve the highest standard of human rights[1].
