Improving SC, OBC lives is fine. but exempting from fee and other monetary privileges based on caste certificate is unfair. There are wealthy SC, OBC families, they can very well pay. Also there are poor BC, FC students who cannot afford to pay for their education. Govt should consider exemption based on economic inability of families than caste certificate.
