The Sikkim Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1993, establishes a dedicated statutory body to advise the State Government on matters concerning backward classes. Its primary purpose is to examine requests for including specific groups in the list of backward classes and to address complaints regarding over-inclusion or under-inclusion in these lists. The Commission acts as an advisory body, and its recommendations are generally binding on the government. By providing a structured mechanism for identifying and reviewing backward classes, the Act ensures that reservation policies for appointments and posts are based on objective assessments, ultimately aiming to support social justice and equitable representation for marginalized communities in Sikkim.
