81 lakh households enumerated in Karnataka’s socio-educational survey in 11 days
Bengaluru: The ongoing statewide social and educational survey in Karnataka has enumerated 81.22 lakh households, completing 11 days of the survey.
On Thursday, enumerators covered 11.03 lakh households. According to estimates, Karnataka has approximately 1.43 crore households, and with just five days left until the survey's conclusion on October 7, around 60-62 lakh households are still to be enumerated, as reported by Deccan Herald.
The survey is part of an effort to collect socio-economic and educational data, although some have mistakenly referred to it as a "caste census." Addressing this misconception, C.M. Kundagol, a member of the Karnataka State Backward Classes Commission, pointed out that describing the ongoing social and educational survey as caste census is wrong. “We should all use the right term to describe the survey. It is not a caste census; it is a comprehensive social and educational survey,” he said.
In response to concerns about participation, the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes issued a statement confirming that the survey is voluntary. It reassured citizens that there is no obligation to participate or disclose personal information.
"Though the survey envisages to cover the entire populace of the state, it is hereby clarified that the participation by citizens/households is voluntary and there is no compulsion on their part to disclose information," it stated.
