- The Commission of Sub-categorization of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) under the Retired Justice G. Rohini was constituted under article 340 of the Constitution with the approval of President on 2nd October, 2017.
- It was appointed to examine the issue of Sub-categorization within other Backward Classes in the Central List.
- It works under the Union of Social Justice and Empowerment.
- The Commission has sought extension of its term by six, that is upto 31st July 2020.
- The Commission is likely to make recommendations for benefit of marginalized communities in the Central List of OBCs.
- Sub categorization of the OBCs will ensure that the more backward among the OBC communities can also access the benefits of reservation for educational institutions and government jobs.
- So, the Union government is now seeking to ensure a more equitable distribution of reservation benefits by further differentiating caste groups coming under backward classes on the basis of their levels of social and economic backwardness.
- At present, there is no sub-categorisation and 27% reservation is a monolithic entity.
