Educational concessions, including scholarships and booking for admission, would become available for students of 28 classes of other backward classes (CCs) of the state if the recommendations of the State Commission for backward classes (KSCBC) are accepted.
Students of these classes, albeit on the List of the Civil Procedure, have been denied educational benefits, because classes are not included in the list of social and educational classes (SEBC) maintained by the state government. Incorporation into the list of municipalities would cause them to be eligible to book in government jobs. However, it must be on the Sebc list to access educational concessions, sources said.
KSCBC, headed by G. Sasidharan, recommended that 28 classes be included in the social and educational classes list. Several organizations and individuals turned to the state looking for inclusion in the list.
