Lots of persons have heard about sachar comittee report, but not many know. People do realize this is a report about the reservation policy. Here is a summary of chapter 11 of the report:
Sachar Comittee report:
Summary of Chapter 11
The presence of Muslims has been found to be only 3% in the IAS, 1.8% in the IFS and 4% in the IPS. The share of Muslims in employment in various departments is abysmally low at all levels. Muslim community has a representation of only 4.5% in Indian Railways while 98.7% of them are positioned at lower levels. Representation of Muslims is very low in the Universities and in Banks. In no state does the representation of Muslims in the government departments match their population share. Their share in police constables is only 6%, in health 4.4%, in transport 6.5%. There is need to ensure a significant presence of Muslims especially in those departments that have mass contact on a day to day basis or are involved in sensitive tasks. Targeted programmes are required to be put in place. The coverage of Muslims in ICDS programme is poor in most states. For the Maulana Azad Education Foundation to be effective the corpus fund needs to be increased to 1000 crores. Total allocation in the four years 2002 to 2006 for Madarsa Modernization Scheme is 106 crores. The information regarding the Scheme has not adequately percolated down. Even if the share of Muslims in elected bodies is low they and other under represented segments can be involved in the decision making process through innovative mechanisms.

The Government has merely written a letter (written by the Department of Personnel and Training), which is of advisory nature and not binding on the states. It suggests that the states must increase the postings of policemen in Muslim-dominated areas in the country............
A A Khan Former IGP, Maharashtra who had famously been quoted in the media as saying, “I work to please my conscience, not my bosses,” said, he “doesn’t subscribes to the idea of counting Hindus and Muslims in the police force.”
He said, “The police force functions the best in India because it’s a secular police force. The moment we start listing a part of the police force as Hindus and the other as Muslim, we are bringing sectarianism in the force, which is reprehensible. I wont approve of that.”“It is important to see that in every thana which is sensitive, we must have a balanced police force. I want a composite police force but compositely posted. I do not want exclusively Muslim thanas or exclusively Hindu thanas,” said Syed Shahbuddin.......
