A 20 day Caste-based socio-economic and educational census from would begin from April 11. Families and individuals are required to provide correct information to enumerators to get realistic information to identify the social, educational and economic conditions of the people and their numerical strength in the State.
The survey, which will be taken up by the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes. As many as 10 lakh families in 8,232 blocks in ten taluks are expected to be covered in the survey. DC N Jayram has warned of legal proceedings in case of any wrong information provided by the house holds. They were also required to show Aadhaar Card/Election Card/Ration Card to the enumerators.
This is all for reservations, N Jayram should warn only beneficiaries not the real TAX PAYER
What if I do not want to share any information regarding caste?
I am totally against the casteism and reservation policies in place and this seems more to support the same.
Also I do not see any benefits from having a caste based survey.
How can this be mandatory?
