Answer:

The Socially and Educationally Backward Classes Commission, often known as the Mandal Commission

Explanation:

Mandal Commission was set up on Jan 1, 1979, by then Prime Minister Late Sri Morarji Desai.  The commission was headed by then-Member of Parliament Bhindeswari  Prasad Mandal from Bihar.

The Janata Party administration in India, led by Prime Minister Morarji Desai, formed the Mandal Commission, also known as the Socially and Educationally Backward Groups Commission (SEBC), in 1979 with the goal of "identifying the socially or educationally backward classes" in the country. Indian legislator B.P. Mandal led it. It utilised eleven social, economic, and educational variables to assess backwardness and explore the reservation issue for individuals to address caste prejudice. In 1980, the commission's report recommended that people from Other Backward Classes (OBC) be given reservations to 27% of jobs within the Central government and public sector undertakings based on its justification that OBCs (also known as "Other backward classes") identified based on caste, social, and economic indicators made up 52% of India's population. Constituting 49% of the total reserves for SC, ST, and OBC.

• The Indian Government set up the Mandal Commission in 1979 to identify the 'socially or educationally backward' segments of society and to suggest methods for solving the problem of caste discrimination.
• After making its study, the Commission recommended that 27% of government jobs be reserved for the socially and economically backward classes.
• Twenty-seven percent was also reserved in all government-run Institutions of higher education.
• This 27% was in addition to the 22.5% seats already being reserved for people belonging to the SCs and STs, thus adding up to 49.5%.
• Ten years later, in 1989, the government decided to implement the Commission's recommendations under the guidance of the Prime Minister, Mr VP Singh.
• This government decision triggered nationwide protests by students and government employees belonging to the unserved category.
• Despite the objections, the government has adopted most of The Mandal Commission's recommendations during the previous few decades.
