Dear Pandarinath,
You have asked for a policy on "non-discrimination based on caste". However, not just caste, there should not be discrimination on account of one's religion, region, language, skin colour, gender, marital status, physical disability, etc. Therefore, when you create a policy, call it "Equal Employment Opportunities". Equality should be maintained in recruitment, transfers and postings, promotion, etc. Please note that for the sake of maintaining equality, merit cannot be given short shrift. Therefore, opportunities should be based on competence as well as equality.
Recently news was published on how married women were denied employment in the Foxconn plant in Tamil Nadu. So, the policy on non-discrimination acquires paramount importance.
Thanks,
