Explanation

The Mandal Commission, officially the Second Backward Classes Commission, was established in 1979 and submitted its report in 1980. It recommended 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in government jobs and educational institutions. The report was implemented in 1990 by Prime Minister V.P. Singh, leading to nationwide debates and protests. The commission identified socially and educationally backward classes using criteria like caste, economic status, and representation in government services.
