Maharashtra OBC Caste List
The OBC (Other Backward Classes) community in Maharashtra encompasses a diverse range of castes, and some of the prominent ones, as mentioned, include Wanjari, Mali, Teli, Dhangar, and Kunbi (a sub-caste of Marathas). Members of these communities are eligible for reservation benefits and other affirmative action measures aimed at addressing historical disadvantages and promoting social equality.
It’s important to note that the OBC category is not limited to a few castes and includes a wide array of socially and educationally backward communities. The inclusion or exclusion of castes in the OBC list is determined by government policies and is subject to periodic revisions.
