Overview

• Only 2,765 households and 10,642 persons were recorded statewide on the first day, far below targets.
• Enumerators reported OTP failures, app crashes and heavy server load, with the software patched twice in the afternoon.
• Delayed kit distribution and short-notice orders left some teachers unable or unwilling to participate, citing long travel and school duties.
• Reluctance to answer the 60-question form, particularly items on religion and caste, surfaced in parts of Kalaburagi.
• The 16-day enumeration runs to October 7, with officials noting Greater Bengaluru may start slower and the High Court hearing challenges to the drive today.
