卡纳塔卡将种姓普查调查延长到10月31日,以便更好地收集数据和参与。 Karnataka extends caste census survey to Oct. 31 for better data collection and participation.

卡纳塔克(Karnataka)将其社会经济和教育调查(通常称为“种姓普查”)延长到10月31日, Karnataka has extended its Socio-economic and Educational Survey, often called the 'caste census,' to October 31, citing low coverage in some districts and the need for broader participation. 调查原定于10月7日结束,但由于Dussehra节假日,两次推迟了调查,以便更好地收集数据。 Originally set to end October 7, the survey was delayed twice—first due to Dussehra holidays, then to allow for better data collection. 教师将不再担任统计员,政府工作人员现在处理实地工作。 Teachers will no longer serve as enumerators, with government staff now handling fieldwork. 这项调查在大多数地区达到大约90%的覆盖率,在孟加拉市达到67%的覆盖率,其中包括工作人员为期三天的Deepavali假日,并提供在线参与。 The survey, which has achieved about 90% coverage in most districts and 67% in Bengaluru city, includes a three-day Deepavali holiday for staff and offers online participation. 官员强调公共参与和隐私,指出20%的受访者选择不披露种姓。 Officials emphasize public engagement and privacy, noting that 20% of respondents chose not to disclose caste. 这项工作估计耗资420卢比,在此之前,在支出165.51卢比之后,一项类似的2015年倡议被放弃。 The effort, costing an estimated Rs 420 crore, follows a similar 2015 initiative abandoned after spending Rs 165.51 crore.
