Abstract
In the ongoing debate two
contrasting positions have emerged
among those who advocate a move
towards affirmative action in the
changed context, viz. "equal
opportunity" or extension of job
reservations to the private sector
and diversity through supplier/
dealership in the field of business
and industry for dalits by both the
government and the private sector.
This paper focuses on the bold,
innovative experiment-surprisingly
ignored by scholars-the policy of
supplier diversity(SD)
attempted by the Digvijay Singh
government in Madhya Pradesh
(MP) in 2002-03.
