Bhubaneswar: After 27 years, the Odisha State Commission for Backward Classes (OSCBC) Saturday started functioning in the state. Commission chairperson Justice (retired) Raghunath Biswal and other members Navaneeta Rath, Mitali Chinara and Prasanna Kumar Patra have taken over the charge Saturday.
Justice Biswal said a database of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the state will be prepared soon. Deserving castes will be included in the list while those found socially and economically developed will be excluded from the OBC list, he said.
“We will implement the reservation on the recommendations of the Mandal Commission,” Biswal said, adding the panel will submit its report to the state government after conducting a socio-economic caste survey.
