Answers
Mandal Commission was set up on Jan 1
in year 1979 by then Prime Minister Late Sri Morarji Desai. The
commission was headed by then Member of Parliament Bhindeswari Prasad
Mandal from Bihar. Mandal commission was started and pushed forward by
National Janata Party.
The Mandal commission was set up to identify in the country,
various socially, economically and educationally backward castes and
classes. The people belonging to these castes and classes were to be
classified under OBC or Other Backward Classes.
OBC were recommended for
27% reservation in jobs in the government offices and public sector
undertakings. The OBC recommended for relaxation of the upper
limit for age for candidates belong to these classes. The idea is to give a social lift upwards to the other backward
classes. The OBC were to be identified from Hindu and non Hindu
population not belonging to forward castes and SC/ST.
Mandal commission took 11 parameters related to education of men
and women, their ages at the time of marriages, their social status, number of
men and women who work on daily labour, women and men who studied up primary
and upto 10th standard, their property value as compared to the average in
their state and so on.
On their basis Mandal commission included 100s of classes and
castes into OBC. The report was submitted in 1980. They identified about 5000
castes as part of OBC. The commission said that they were really
backward. The commission gave its report to the President of India in Dec 1980.
