NCBC Submits Delayed Annual Reports to President

  • 31 May 2025

On 30th May, 2025, the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) submitted its Annual Reports for 2022–23 and 2023–24 to President Droupadi Murmu, marking a delayed but crucial step in reviewing OBC welfare.

Key Points

  • Mandated Oversight: The NCBC is constitutionally required to submit yearly reports assessing safeguards and welfare measures for Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
  • Delayed Submission: The latest reports were delayed due to data collection challenges and dependency on States and Union ministries for Action-Taken Reports (ATRs).
  • Pending in Parliament: The reports will be made public only after being tabled in Parliament with ATRs; the last such report laid was the 2019–2022 consolidated report.
  • Parallel Delays: Similar backlogs exist with the National Commissions for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) and Scheduled Tribes (NCST), whose recent reports are also pending tabling.
