Hyderabad, Feb 4 (Reporter) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy presented the Social, Economic, Employment, Education, Political, and Caste Survey 2024 report in the Assembly on Tuesday.

This gap has made policy formulation difficult," he said. Revanth Reddy recalled that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had pledged to conduct a caste census during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Keeping that promise, the new government passed a resolution in the Assembly to conduct the survey immediately after coming to power. "We have now completed the caste census and presented the report in the House today. Enumerators collected detailed data from every village and thanda in a structured manner. Each unit of 150 households was assigned an enumerator to ensure accuracy. A total of 76,000 data entry operators worked tirelessly for 36 days to prepare this report," the Chief Minister stated. The survey was conducted for Rs 160 crore, and after Cabinet approval, it was introduced in the Assembly to ensure full legal validity. Revanth Reddy highlighted that Backward Classes (BCs) constitute 56 percent of the state’s population, and the government has undertaken this initiative to give them due recognition.
