- This decision allows State Governments to prioritize certain subgroups within the Scheduled Castes (SCs) for quota distribution based on socio-economic indicators.
- It may help in ensuring more equitable distribution of benefits among SC communities according to their specific needs and vulnerabilities.
- Sub-classifying SCs can also lead to better targeting of welfare schemes and allocation of resources to those who need it the most.
