FICCI Session
Affirmative action on reservations has been recognized within the framework of the Constitution as a medium to promote certain sections but it need not be at the cost of merit, Ashwani Kumar, Minister of State for Industry and Rajan Mittal, joint managing director, Bharati Enterprises, made a forceful plea against reservation, in any form of industry. Speaking at the 22nd annual session of the FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO), on Women Empowering India, Kumar emphasized the need for more women in corporate boardrooms, “because of their quest for excellence, grit and compassion.”
