The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) is an Indian constitutional body established to evaluate and recommend the inclusion of communities in the list of backward classes. It aims to promote social and educational development for these communities, ensuring they receive benefits from government schemes and policies. The NCBC was formed in 1993 and operates under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. It plays a crucial role in addressing the grievances of backward classes and advises the government on matters related to their welfare, ensuring equitable opportunities in education and employment.
