BENGALURU: The much-awaited socio-economic and education survey report, commonly referred to as the caste census report, was on Friday presented before the Karnataka cabinet, which is likely to deliberate on the contents and recommendations mentioned in the 2015 survey report in a meeting scheduled for April 17.

The caste survey report was submitted to chief minister Siddaramaiah by Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes chairman K Jayaprakash Hegde on February 29 last year. The survey data includes caste-wise figures for all assembly constituencies as well as analytical reports prepared after its submission to the government.

Confirming the development, Siddaramaiah told reporters: "There are a few recommendations in it. Some ministers said they want to go through the recommendations first. After reviewing them, we will discuss it in the cabinet meeting on next Thursday (April 17) and take a decision."
