Karnataka Caste Census: Congress govt to re-enumerate data within 60-80 days after groups raise concerns

The Congress central leadership instructed Karnataka government on Tuesday in Delhi to undertake a fresh re-enumeration of the state's caste census within 60-80 days.
This directive followed concerns raised by MLAs, ministers, and communities over outdated and incomplete data from the last caste survey conducted in 2015 during Siddaramaiah's earlier term.
During the meeting, Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar highlighted that the new caste enumeration would be conducted in a manner that guarantees fairness and includes all sections of society, especially those who were overlooked previously.
AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal noted that the caste census was a topic of discussion and emphasized that the Congress party supports the efforts made by the Karnataka government on this matter in principle.
The re-enumeration aims to address community concerns and update obsolete data, with the Karnataka Cabinet scheduled to finalize the timeline, potentially impacting state socio-political policies.
