OBC

OBC, or Other Backward Classes, is a classification used in India to identify communities that are socially and educationally disadvantaged. This designation helps ensure they receive affirmative action, such as reservations (quotas), in education, jobs, and government programs. The goal is to promote equality by providing opportunities to groups that historically faced social discrimination and economic challenges. Membership in the OBC category is determined based on specific criteria and government assessments, aiming to uplift these communities and foster inclusive development.
