   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.

     Then 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.
