The main objective for the establishment of the Directorate for the Welfare of Other Backward Classes and Scheduled Castes is to take up measures to protect the interests of the OBC and SC Communities and also to take up Welfare programmes/schemes for them in the State. The Vision of the Directorate is to improve the socio-economic conditions of these communities through affirmative action and inclusive development so that every citizen has equal opportunity to participate actively in building a vibrant nation. The Directorate will facilitate an equitable share for OBC and SC communities in education, employment, economic activities and to ensure their upliftment.
