Abstract

After 1960, Maharashtra Govt. has made an attempt to initiate multidimensional (Educational, social and economical) policies in order to bring about radical changes in the position of SCs. However, after 50 year of independence, the time has come to evaluate the extent of which policies have been successful in eradicating the inequality in society. This study is attempted to measure the impact of Reservation Policy, besides it, what are the major responsible factors for bringing occupational mobility among the SCs. The leading caste as an occupational mobility is concerned. After the religious conversion, the Buddhists people threw their traditional attitudes, beliefs and customs. Therefore, their life style has undergone changed. But various researchers have treated Buddhist as Mahar. In this research, researcher found that, Govt. has treated SC as Buddhist. But Govt. has not given any separate identity to them. Buddhists community is more aware about the educational and occupational development and their rights than other communities in the schedule. Hence, the development of the Buddhists could be treated as an ideal model for other Backward Classes.
