Caste Census To Commence From September: Kishan Reddy
Hyderabad, May 1 (Maxim News): Union Minister for Coal and Mines G.Kishan Reddy and Dr. K. Laxman, the National President of the BJP OBC Morcha, welcomed the decision by the Union Cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to include caste enumeration in the upcoming national census.
The BJP leaders stated, “This bold and transparent move marks a significant step toward social justice, informed policy making, and the strengthening of India’s social fabric.” Kishan Reddy announced that the caste census will be conducted over two years starting in September this year.
Kishan Reddy emphasised that this decision was not made suddenly by the Central government. He referred to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement from September 18, 2024, stating. “Everyone will be informed about the caste census at the appropriate time. Accordingly, the Central government has now announced this decision,”
Dr. Laxman noted that the last comprehensive caste census in India was conducted by the British government in 1931. Since then, aside from data on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, no official caste enumeration has occurred at the national level.
For decades, the lack of accurate data has hindered the formulation and implementation of welfare policies for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and other marginalised communities. (Maxim News)
