Volume : II, Issue : XII, January - 2013 IMPACT OF CASTE ON OCCUPATIONAL CHOICES OF DEGREE COLLEGE STUDENTS MANJUNATH. G. DESHPANDE AND SHANTA. B. ASTIGE Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Earlier there were occupations based on caste and as such society was based on
Chaturvarna. But, due to globalization and liberalization, many of the new occupations
and professions were generated. Now, education is the base for career and occupational
choices of the students. Many of the thinkers still believe that choice of occupations is
made on the basis of caste of the students. Hence, a questionnaire based survey was
conducted and 150 students studying in degree courses in different degree colleges were
surveyed. It is found that caste or gender are no more influencing occupational choice of
degree college students. Further, even though there are reservations and incentives to
curb the social inequalities based on caste and gender, still there is discrimination in the
education. It is suggested to the parents to give freedom to their children to choose their
career and future. Further, it is suggested to curb barriers such as gender stratification
and caste based stratification in education. It is concluded that the students, parents and
the society should realize that now the education is not based on caste or gender and to
increase knowledge and intelligence of the students. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : MANJUNATH. G. DESHPANDE AND SHANTA. B. ASTIGE, (2013).
