Haryana Government on Friday constituted four-member Haryana Backward Classes Commission under the chairmanship of Justice SN Aggarwal, former Judge, Punjab and Haryana High Court to examine which caste could be included or excluded from the list of Backward Class.
It will consider requests for inclusion or exclusion of any class of citizens as a Backward Class and hear complaints of over-inclusion or under-inclusion of any Backward Class and tender such advice to the State Government, as it deems appropriate, said an official spokesman. The other members of the Commission are Ritambhara Sanghi, Ashok Kumar and Ramesh Chand. Director, Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes has been nominated as ex-officio Member Secretary of the Commission.
During the budget session of Haryana Assembly, Haryana Backward Classes Commission Bill 2016 was passed unanimously to set up a permanent mechanism and to give a statutory status to the Haryana Backward Classes Commission, after a gap of 24 years.
