Which Indian state has initiated a comprehensive household caste survey, becoming the third state to do so?

A)
Karnataka
B)
Tamil Nadu
C)
Telangana
D)
Maharashtra

Correct Answer :   Telangana


Telangana has launched a comprehensive household caste survey, joining Andhra Pradesh and Bihar as the third state to conduct such a survey.

This initiative aims to ensure targeted resource distribution among Other Backward Classes (OBCs), Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and other communities.

A commission led by former High Court judge Justice Shameem Akhtar will study the sub-classification of SCs.

The survey will provide valuable data on socio-economic status, education levels, income, employment, and political representation, enabling evidence-based policy interventions.
