The government of India had appointed the 'Second Backward Class Commission' in 1979. It was headed by B.P. Mandal. Hence, it has popularly called Mandal Commission.
It was asked to determine the criteria to identify the socially and economically backward classes in India and recommend steps to be taken for their advancement.
The Commission gave its report in 1980 and made many recommendations. One of them was 27% of government job reservations for the socially and economically backward classes.
