OBC (Other Backward Class)

OBC, or Other Backward Classes, refers to groups in India recognized by the government as socially and educationally disadvantaged. These communities have historically faced barriers to access resources and opportunities. The OBC designation enables affirmative action through reservations in education, employment, and government positions to promote social equity. Criteria for classification vary, involving social, educational, and economic factors. The goal is to encourage their inclusion and upliftment, ensuring fair representation and development opportunities within Indian society.
