The Justice G. Rohini-led Commission was established in 2017.
It was to explore the sub-categorization of Other Backward Classes (OBC) groups.
It was appointed by the President under the powers conferred by Article 340 of the Constitution.
Major Findings
The Dominance of Few Caste Groups: A small number of caste groups among all OBC groups were found to dominate the reservation quotas meant for OBCs.
Equitable Redistribution: The need to ensure a more equitable distribution of benefits among OBC communities was identified, aiming to address the imbalance caused by the dominance of certain groups.
Reservation Allocation Formula: The Commission formulated a formula to allocate reservation shares based on historical underrepresentation, with the objective of providing a larger share to historically marginalized groups and reducing the share of dominant groups.
Rationalization of Central OBC List: The Commission suggested corrections and replacements in spellings within the Central OBC list, aiming to rectify errors and inaccuracies in the entries.
