The Rashtriya OBC Mahasang will observe the 106th birth anniversary of Bindeshwari Prasad Mandal on 25th August 2024. The event, which highlights the legacy of Mandal, renowned for his contributions towards the upliftment of Other Backward Classes (OBCs), will take place across various regions of India.
Bindeshwari Prasad Mandal is widely remembered for heading the Mandal Commission, which significantly shaped India’s social structure by recommending reservations for OBCs in government jobs and educational institutions. The commission’s findings and recommendations, submitted in 1980, have had a lasting impact on India’s affirmative action policies.
The Rashtriya OBC Mahasang plans to mark the occasion with seminars, cultural programs, and public gatherings. Discussions and debates on the current status of OBC reservations, challenges faced by OBC communities, and the way forward are expected to be key highlights. Prominent political leaders, social activists, and members of the OBC community will participate, ensuring the event pays tribute to the visionary leader’s enduring legacy.
The observance will also include ceremonies to honor individuals and organizations working towards the betterment of OBC communities. The event will be a platform to reinforce Mandal’s ideals and remind people of the continuing relevance of his work in today’s society.
