Backward Classes

Backward Classes refer to specific groups within a society that face social, educational, and economic disadvantages compared to the general population. These groups may include historically marginalized communities who have limited access to opportunities and resources. In many countries, including India, governments implement affirmative action policies to promote equality for these groups, enabling them to benefit from educational scholarships, job reservations, and various welfare schemes. The aim is to uplift these communities, ensuring they can participate more fully in society and improve their living standards.
