Outside the mandate of the Constitution Parliament has inherent power to set up many number of the Commissions in pursuit of its laws and resolutions. In 1978, the Union government set up a minority commission.
In 1993, it grew into a national commission for minorities by an act of Parliament passed in the previous year. By the strength of the National Commission for Women Act, 1990, a national commission for women was set up in 1993. In 1993, following the supreme court order in Indra Sawhney & others V. the Union of India & others (The Mandal Case) a national commission for the Backward classes by an act of the same name was set up with power of entertaining, examining and advising the government on, request for inclusion and complaints over over-inclusion and under-inclusion in the list of other backward classes.
