Reserved Constituency It is a constituency especially reserved for die weaker section i.e. Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes Need of the System
Weaker sections that get reservation in elections were victims of discrimination for centuries. So, if the representatives among them had not been elected, our Parliament and State Legislative Assemblies would have been deprived of the voice of a significant section of our society.
This system of Reserved Constituencies ( 84 seats for the Scheduled Castes and 47 for the Scheduled Tribes in Lok Sabha) makes our democracy a real representative democracy.

⚫ The Constitution makers were concerned that in an open electoral competition, certain weaker sections may not get elected to the Lok Sabha and the state Legislative Assemblies.
⚫ They may not have the required resources, education and contacts to contest and win elections against others.
⚫ If that happens, our Parliament and Assemblies would be denied of the voice of an important section of our population making our democracy less representative and less democratic.
⚫ Those who are powerful and capable may stop them from winning elections.
⚫Hence the makers of our Constitution thought of a special system of reserved constituencies for the weaker sections.
