     Pursuit to divide OBC category into sub-categories
  • National Commission for Backward Classes(NCBC) is seeking government's approval to divide OBCs into 3 sub-groups.

    Each of the groups can claim no more than 27% of the quota for OBCs.

    The groups will be divided based on social, economic and educational backwardness.

    This is being done to create a level playing field for "backwards among backwards" and safeguard them from stronger OBCs.
