Question

In local bodies like panchayats, municipalities, and corporations, weaker sections of the society like women and OBCs are given a ___ reservation.

• A. 18%
• B. 33%
• C. 40%
• D. 48%

Answer 1

The correct option is B 33%

In local bodies like panchayats, municipalities, and corporations, weaker sections of the society like women and Other Backward Castes or OBCs are given a 33% reservation. People from the weaker sections of the society lack resources, education, and political connections. That is why these reservations are made so as to ensure their participation in the governance of the country.
