National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Established under Article 338 to safeguard SC interests. Evolved from the earlier SC/ST commission. It investigates complaints of discrimination or atrocities, monitors reservation policies, and recommends actions to improve socio-economic conditions. NCSC has the authority to summon individuals, demand documents, and approach courts for enforcement. Its reports, tabled in Parliament, highlight issues like untouchability, educational gaps, and employment barriers. Despite limitations (it lacks direct punitive power), NCSC fosters accountability. With persistent caste-based inequalities, the Commission’s role in pushing legislative or administrative reforms remains critical. Its success hinges on robust support from government agencies and timely follow-up on recommendations.
