An alternative to the deadlock

An Alternative Suggestion
I was discussing at home about the issue of reservation and what can be done. One possible solution did come out. In America and some other countries graduates have to undergo service in military compulsorily for a period of time.There is a woeful shortage of teachers in primary schools in rural India. I sugest that maybe the government can bring out something like a compulsory stint of a year as teacher for graduates at primary school in all remote corners of rural India before they take up employment or higher education anywhere. This way this will result in reasonably good teachers being present all the time in primary schools not having the infrastructure. Thereby ensuring a whole generation of poor ill equipped children benefit rather than very few students who can actually gain acces to higher education. Here looking at the Govt's policy i am remimded of a story abt the queen (govt) who said if the poor cant get bread (good proper school eucation) give them cake (reservation in higher education). I am aware like all suggestions this suggestion will have flaws but i am sure we can work things out. Also this will be a major face saving solution for the govt because this will be on the lines of affirmative action which the govt is clamouring on. This not a new practice doctors have a period of rural stint because they practice medicine anywhere else. I am just extending the idea. I think the youth of India can spare one year of their life for upliftment of the downtrodden. What say?
UR thoughts and suggestions of improvement are most welcome.
