National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Recently granted constitutional status via the 102nd Amendment (2018). The NCBC identifies and recommends inclusion/exclusion of communities in the Central OBC list, advising on welfare measures. It investigates complaints of discrimination or violation of OBC rights and monitors the functioning of reservation policies. The commission’s recognition acknowledges the socio-economic challenges faced by historically backward communities, ensuring targeted policies for inclusion. Nonetheless, controversies arise over sub-categorization of OBCs and potential overlap with state lists. The NCBC’s input shapes reservation distribution, educational opportunities, and job quotas, reflecting India’s ongoing efforts to level the socio-economic playing field among diverse social strata.
