The correct answer is: A. M K Lodha Committee
The M.K. Lodha Committee was appointed by the Government of India in 2006 to identify the creamy layer among the Other Backward Classes (OBCs). The committee submitted its report in 2008, and recommended that the creamy layer be defined as those OBC families with an annual income of more than Rs. 8 lakh or those with a member in government service at the level of Class I or above.
The Sardar Swaran Singh Committee was appointed by the Government of India in 1978 to identify the OBCs. The committee submitted its report in 1980, and recommended that the OBCs be defined as those castes and communities that were socially, educationally, and economically backward.
The Ram Nandan Committee was appointed by the Government of India in 1993 to review the implementation of the Mandal Commission Report. The committee submitted its report in 1995, and recommended that the Mandal Commission Report be implemented in its entirety.
The creamy layer is a term used to refer to the uppermost section of a social group. In the context of the OBCs, the creamy layer refers to those OBC families that are considered to be well-off and do not need the benefits of affirmative action. The identification of the creamy layer is important because it helps to ensure that the benefits of affirmative action are targeted at those who need them the most.
