In India, candidates belonging to the Nomadic Tribes (NT) , such as NT-B (also known as Dhangar community in some states like Maharashtra), fall under the OBC (Other Backward Classes) category in most government-related schemes, including education, employment, and scholarships.

Government Forms and Reservations:

1. Category : NT-B individuals usually fill government forms under the OBC category , provided they have the necessary caste and income certificates to prove eligibility.

2. Reservation Benefits : In education and government jobs, NT-B individuals can avail themselves of OBC reservation benefits . These include:

   • Educational Scholarships : Scholarships offered under both state and central government schemes for OBC students.
   • Reserved Quotas : Access to reserved seats in education and government jobs.

3. Documents Required : NT-B individuals need to provide an OBC certificate or a Caste Validity Certificate for availing reservations. Depending on the scheme, an income certificate may also be required to determine eligibility for financial aid or scholarships.

Key Scholarships and Benefits:

• Post-Matric Scholarship for OBC Students : Provided by both central and state governments for higher education.
• Fee Concessions : Many state governments offer full or partial tuition fee waivers for NT-B students under the OBC quota.
