List of Backward Castes (OBC) in Jharkhand
The Jharkhand government has sent a proposal to the Centre for enlisting 36 backward castes, including the Kurmis, into the Central list of Other Backward Classes (OBCs). Enlisting in the Central OBC list will allow these castes representation in Central government jobs and in Central education institutes.
These castes have already been notified as Backward Caste-Schedule 1 and Backward Caste Schedule-2 for the purpose of extending benefits of reservation in admission to educational institutions and/or appointments in government jobs in Jharkhand.
