mandal commission was enacted during the tenure of V P Singh


Mandal Commission report[edit]
Singh himself wished to move forward nationally on social justice-related issues, which would in addition consolidate the caste coalition that supported the Janata Dal in northern India, and accordingly decided to implement the recommendations of the Mandal Commission which suggested that a fixed quota of all jobs in the public sector be reserved for members of the historically disadvantaged so-called Other Backward Classes.[27] This decision led to widespread protests among the upper caste youth in urban areas in northern India. OBC reservation (less creamy layer) was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2008.[28][29]

The Mandal Commission was formed during the tenure of which Prime Minister?
Options:
A) V.P. Singh
B) Chandrashekhar 
C) Morarji Desai
D) H.D. Devegauda
Solution:
Ans: (c) Mandal Commission was established in India in 1979 by the janta party government under Prime Minister Morarji Desai with a mandate to "identify the socially or educationally backward."
