Problems of OBCS: We can identify main problems of the O.B.Cs as follows:

1. Lack of Interaction: In villages, O.B.Cs live in separate hamlets. The children of upper castes do not have interaction with the children of O.B.Cs. There is also no interaction between women of higher castes and O.B.Cs. The younger generation of O.B.Cs take it ill because they are also advanced now economically and educationally. This leads to a conflict between forward castes and backward castes.

2. Dependency on Higher Castes: It is true that the Backward Castes of Annexure. The economically and educationally advanced castes are not dependent on higher castes for their livelihood. But a good number of extremely backward economically and educationally backward castes of Annexure-I are fully dependent upon higher castes for their livelihood especially in rural areas. They work as casual labour. They also render services under the Jajmani system.

3. Problem of Share-cropping: Undoubtedly, a good number of O.B.Cs of Annexure-II own sufficient land. But it is also true that a majority of O.B.Cs of Annexure-I are marginal and small farmers. They do not have sufficient land for cultivation. They take land from higher castes for share-cropping. They do cultivation by labour of their family members and do the exchange of labour with the neighbouring families for it. as share-croppers they have to renew tenancy each year. The declaration of the government to implement Share-Cropping Act (land to tillers) has snatched away even this facility from them. The backward-forward caste conflict has also made many O.B.Cs labourers from share-croppers.

4. Indebtedness: There is no doubt that the O. B. Cs of second category are well to do. But the O. B. Cs of Annexure-I are poor. They feed and cloth their family members by wage labour and little land they own. Naturally, they are not in a position to meet their various needs from their income. So, they have to take loans from the land owners, or money lenders. They take loans for the purpose of marriage, festivals, death rituals and feast etc. They have to pay heavy interest on loans. When the loan plus interest is not repaid, they have to repay it by working as bonded labour.

5. Health and Nutrition: Majority of castes of O. B. Cs under the Annexure-I live in unhygienic condition. They do not have a proper house to live in. Their houses do not have a urinal, latrine, kitchen, drain and window. In the same room, they live with cows, buffalo and goats. They use the street for urinating and defecation. They clean utensils outside their houses. They do not have clean wells and hand pumps for drinking water. Such an unhygienic environment affects their health adversely. As they are not well off economically, they are not able to provide nutrition to their body properly. Many of them are below the poverty line.
