Caste Based Census

A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court, urging the Centre to conduct a caste-based census across India.

In order to examine the caste-based census issue, Congress MP Manickam Tagore filed an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.

Survey findings revealed that over 20% of the state's population is from Scheduled Castes or Tribes and around 63% of the population belongs to backward classes.
