Caste Survey

Kharge and Rahul Gandhi have urged PM Modi to revise the caste census format, citing concerns over fragmented data and OBC population estimates.

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said Telangana is the first state in India to conduct a caste survey, inspired by Rahul Gandhi’s vision.

“The chief minister observed such a comprehensive caste survey would help alleviate the lives of oppressed classes and take their social empowerment to the next level,” Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy said.

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.
