How is the NCBC trying to prompt a review of State OBC lists

The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) is facing challenges due to the absence of socio-economic data while attempting to trigger a review of State OBC lists.
  • The NCBC is advocating for the collection of fresh socio-economic data to accurately identify OBC groups in each state.
  • They are urging state governments to conduct surveys and studies to update and refine their OBC lists.
  • The commission aims to leverage the data collected to identify the actual beneficiaries and ensure effective implementation of welfare schemes.
  • The NCBC is emphasizing the importance of regular reviews to address discrepancies and ensure equitable distribution of benefits among OBC communities.
  • They are actively engaging with state authorities and policymakers to push for the revision and validation of State OBC lists based on authentic data sources.
