Pradesh and Telangana
The Union Cabinet
chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given its approval for
making suitable amendments in the Central List of OBCs by way of
inclusion/correction/deletion of castes/communities applicable to the State of
Andhra Pradesh and the newly formed State of Telangana as per the advice
received from the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC).
A total of 35 changes recommended by
NCBC in respect of Andhra Pradesh and 86 New Entries in respect of Telangana
State will be notified. The changes will enable the persons belonging to these
castes/ communities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to avail the benefits of
reservation in Government services and posts as well as in Central Educational
Institutions as per extant policy. They will also become eligible for benefit
under the various welfare schemes, scholarships etc. being administered by the
Central Government, which are at present available to the persons belonging to
the Other Backward Classes.
Background:
On the recommendation
of the Commission a total of 2401 Entries for inclusion, including its
synonyms, sub-castes, etc. in the Central List of Other Backward Classes have
been notified in 24 States and 6 Union Territories. The last such notification
was issued on 26.5.2016. Since then, several more recommendations for inclusion
of castes/communities and corrections in the existing list of OBCs for the State
of Andhra Pradesh and the new State of Telangana have been received from
NCBC.
Under Section 9
("Functions of the Commission") of the NCBC Act 1993, the Commission
examines requests for inclusion of any class of citizens as a backward class in
the lists and hears complaints of over-inclusion or under-inclusion of any
backward class in such lists and tenders such advice to the Central Government.
The Act also stipulates that the advice of the Commission shall ordinarily be
binding upon the Central Government.
