Karnataka's Social and Educational Survey, commonly known as the 'caste census,' is approaching its conclusion with 70-80% of data reportedly collected, according to Home Minister G Parameshwara.
The survey, costing Rs 420 crore, is conducted by the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes. Initially set to end on October 7, a deadline extension is under consideration due to technical issues and uneven data coverage across districts.
Amidst political and public discourse, the government asserts its responsibility in executing this exercise, despite criticisms and challenges. Conducted scientifically, the survey's completion remains a priority for state officials.
