Hyderabad, Apr 15 (PTI) The Telangana government on Wednesday released the data of the caste survey conducted by it in 2024-25 in the public domain.
State Backward Classes Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar told reporters here that the data of Telangana Socio, Economic, Educational, Employment, Political and Caste (SEEEPC) survey-2024 is posted on the state government’s planning department website.
He said the government could not release the data earlier due to elections and other reasons.
The government, however, decided to make the reports and data public now as the state stands as a role model at a time when nationwide debate is taking place on delimitation and women’s reservation, he said.
Prabhakar said 1.12 crore families and a population of 3.55 crore were covered in the survey with over one lakh enumerators and 76,000 data entry operators participating in it.
Initiated on November 6, 2024, the first phase of the survey was completed over a period of 50 days.
Further, the second phase of the comprehensive caste survey was allowed through four windows — direct enumeration at the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) offices, through a missed phone call number, a mobile app and through Mee Seva Centre enrolment. PTI SJR SJR KH
