National Commission for Scheduled Castes

The National Commission for Scheduled Castes is an Indian constitutional body established to protect and promote the rights of Scheduled Castes (SCs), who historically belong to marginalized communities. Formed in 2004, it addresses issues like discrimination, social injustice, and economic inequalities faced by these groups. The Commission reviews policies, investigates complaints, and recommends measures to the government to improve the living conditions of SCs. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that the rights and interests of SCs are safeguarded and included in the country’s development agenda.
