Amendments in the Central Lists of Other Backward Classes (OBCs)

The Union Cabinet today approved the inclusion of the names of some castes and communities in the Central List of OBCs.

The National Commission for Backward Classes advised the Central Government for amendment in the Central list of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) for the States of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal and Union Territories(UTs) of Andaman & Nicobar Islands & Puducherry.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment will make amendments in the Central lists of OBCs in respect of these States and UTs. Inclusion of these castes/communities in the Central list of OBCs would enable them to avail the benefits of reservation in Central Government services and posts as well as in the Central education institutions, thus contributing to the goal of equity and inclusiveness.

  1. Dear Sir,

    I want to know the cast DEVANGA in S.NO.49 Central Government OBC List is applicable for all religions? Is there any amendments in Jun 2011? Can I have a full list of all casts of OBC of Central Government for Maharashtra and Tamilnadu? If you can’t send, where I can get?

    With regard/Michael.
