Backward Communities Development
About
Backward Communities Development Department was formed to ensure a more focused approach towards issues relating to the notified backward communities in the State like Other Backward Communities (OBC), Other Eligible Communities (OEC) and Socially and Educationally Backward Communities (SEBC).
The mandate of the department includes formulation of overall policy making, planning and implementation of welfare schemes, coordination, evaluation and review of the regulatory framework and development programmes for the benefit of the notified backward communities. Though the substantial force of OBC community covers over 65% of the total state population, the mass of the community still remains as one of the disadvantaged and marginalized sections of the society.
