OBC (Other Backward Classes) in India

OBC (Other Backward Classes) in India refer to communities that historically face social and educational disadvantages compared to upper castes. Recognized by the government, OBCs are eligible for affirmative action measures like reservations in education, jobs, and other opportunities to promote their social and economic development. The classification aims to address historical inequalities and enable better access to resources, helping these communities improve their social standing. The specifics of which communities are included can vary across states and are determined through detailed social surveys and reviews.
