The Mandal Commission Report refers to the Other Backward Classes (OBCs). The report was submitted by the Mandal Commission, which was appointed in India in 1979 to identify socially and educationally backward classes of citizens. The commission aimed to assess the extent of their social and educational backwardness and recommend steps to ameliorate their condition.

The commission`s report recommended the reservation of jobs in the public sector for OBCs in order to promote their social and educational development. This recommendation led to significant political and social debates, as it was seen as a step towards addressing the historical disadvantage faced by OBCs in India. The report`s findings and the subsequent implementation of reservations for OBCs have had a significant impact on Indian society and politics.
