SEBC Full Form

What is the full form of SEBC?

Some of India's residents are categorised by the central government according to their socioeconomic status. The acronym SEBC, which stands for Socially and Educationally Backward Communities, also stands for Socially and Economically Backward Classes. According to the Central Government of India, certain inhabitants of our nation are categorised according to their financial position and way of life, and these individuals are known as those who live below the poverty line. Other Backward Classes (OBCs) are granted 27% reservations in state and national employment, education, and other areas because the Indian government assures social and educational growth. Additionally, they belong to the SEBC, or Socially and Educationally(or Economically) Backward Classes, a group of people.
