Abstract

The findings uncovered by the Chinnappa Reddy OBC Commission provided critical insights into the socioeconomic circumstances of Other Backward Classes communities throughout Karnataka. tasked with analyzing inequalities confronting these groups, the commission revealed sizeable gaps in spheres like education, jobs, healthcare, and political access. Its study highlighted the urgent need for focused remedies to narrow divisions. A principal discovery was the marked divergence in educational achievement between OBCs and other populations. low literacy rates especially among females and high dropout rates among OBC pupils posed substantial obstacles to social and financial mobility. As a response, the commission advised enhanced access to scholarships, monetary aid, and vocational training programs to equip OBC youth with the abilities necessary for meaningful work. Economic inequities facing OBC communities also constituted a major concern. With an average yearly income well below the statewide average, numerous OBC households were trapped in destitution, particularly in rural areas where landlessness and restricted access to assets exacerbated economic vulnerabilities. To tackle these issues, the commission called for increased reservations in government employment and educational institutions, alongside steps to boost economic chances through skill development and entrepreneurship initiatives.
