How can revising the OBC creamy layer limit impact social equality in India
Discuss the potential implications of revising the OBC creamy layer limit as suggested by MPs at a House panel meeting.
- 1. **Social Injustice:** If the OBC creamy layer limit is revised upwards, it may result in benefits meant for the economically backward sections being availed by relatively privileged individuals within the community.
- 2. **Reduced Opportunities:** Revision of the creamy layer limit could lead to a reduction in opportunities for truly economically backward individuals within the OBC category who are in need of support.
- 3. **Strain on Resources:** With an expanded creamy layer, the limited resources allocated for OBC welfare schemes could be strained, impacting the overall effectiveness of such initiatives.
- 4. **Decreased Social Mobility:** This may also hinder the chances of social mobility for those at the lower end of the economic spectrum within the OBC category.
