What is Affirmative Action Reservation ?
(1) Policies that promote the representation and participation of groups that have been historically marginalised or discriminated against.
(2) It is a action plan for welfare of the citizen.
Select the correct codes :
Answer: A
The answer is (1) is correct.
Affirmative action means policies that promote the representation and participation of groups historically marginalised or discriminated against, for example through reservations in education, jobs and legislatures. That is statement 1.
Statement 2 is too general: an action plan for the welfare of all citizens is ordinary welfare policy, while affirmative action targets particular disadvantaged groups. So options treating (2) as correct are wrong.
