SCs (Scheduled Castes)

Scheduled Castes (SCs) are groups recognized by the government in India for historically facing social discrimination and marginalization. The term refers to communities that were traditionally considered "untouchables" under the caste system. To promote social justice and equality, the government provides special protections, reservations in education and employment, and other initiatives to improve their socio-economic status. These measures aim to ensure fair opportunities and reduce historical disadvantages faced by these communities in various aspects of life.
