On Caste-Based Census

Date: 
Tuesday, September 7, 2021

The demand for a caste-based census has arisen again.  Apart from the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes who are enumerated in the general census, there is no data on the Other Backward Classes.  It is necessary to have an accurate count of the various categories of Other Backward Classes. 

The CPI(M) supports the demand for a caste census to be conducted along with the general census of 2021.
