Detailed Solution

The Mandal Commission was set up to enquire and recommend providing reservations in government jobs to SEBCs (socially and economically backward classes).
The Mandal Commission was established in India in 1979 by the Janata Party government under Prime Minister Morarji Desai to benefit the backward classes in India. B.P. Mandal, an Indian MP, chaired the Commission to consider the question of reservation for backward class people. The Commission used social, economic, and educational indicators to determine the underrepresentation of the backward classes.
