OBC reservation

OBC reservation refers to the policy in India that provides certain benefits and privileges to "Other Backward Classes," a category of socially and educationally disadvantaged communities. Established to promote equality, OBC reservation ensures these groups have access to a proportion of government jobs and educational institutions. This affirmative action aims to level the playing field and address historical injustices by giving OBC individuals a better chance to compete with more privileged sections of society. The reservation percentage varies by state and is determined by the government based on the specific needs of these communities.
