Scheduled Castes of Pakistan consist of communities recognized as socio-economically disadvantaged and historically Marginalized. To ensure social inclusion and support, the Government of Pakistan officially designated 40 castes as Scheduled Castes through the The Scheduled Castes (Declaration) Ordinance 1957 ordinance No. XVI of 1957.[1][2] This recognition aims to facilitate targeted policies and programs to uplift these communities and improve their access to education, employment, and social welfare.[3][4]
