( Newshub Desk) In a landmark move, the government has announced plans to conduct a comprehensive caste census. This decision comes as part of a broader initiative to assess socio-economic inequalities and ensure targeted policy-making for marginalised communities.
The census aims to provide a clearer picture of the population’s demographic structure, helping policymakers address issues related to education, employment, and access to welfare schemes. While some applaud the decision as a step toward inclusivity, critics question its potential for political misuse.
Scheduled to begin later this year, the census will involve extensive collaboration between state governments, local bodies, and data analytics experts to ensure accuracy and transparency. Government officials emphasise the need for public cooperation to make this endeavour a success.
