With about 10 per cent of the caste survey is yet to be completed. In addition to this, some Scheduled Caste organisations have once again submitted representations, requesting for time extension to complete the said survey.

The commission pointed out that in the wake of the schools reopening in the state, the teachers who were appointed as enumerators for the survey have been relieved from the survey work, “Thus, in order to facilitate the continuation of the SC castes’ survey for those Scheduled Castes’ households of Karnataka, who are yet to submit their data in the Scheduled Caste Survey, a provision has been made to carry out the same at the existing 9,400 state level citizen centric services centers, such as “Karnataka One”, “Bengaluru One” and “Grama One” and also at the 198 “BBMP ward offices”, from June 9 to June 22,” it said.
