Karnataka Ends Door-to-Door Caste Survey, Extends Online Entry to Nov. 10

Officials blame migration-linked nonresponse plus technical glitches for uneven coverage, leaving Bengaluru far behind other districts.

Overview

  • Door-to-door enumeration concludes on October 31, with self-declaration kept open until November 10 for residents who were missed.
  • Participants can file details using a Unique Household ID or the RR electricity meter number, with assistance available at 80507 70004.
  • The Commission says 6.14 crore people have been surveyed as of October 31 against a projected state population of 6.85 crore.
  • Bengaluru’s coverage is reported in the mid-40% range, with officials attributing the lag to residents counted at native places and multiple meters per household.
  • Earlier this week, the minister cited overall progress of 101.47% across 1.46 crore households tallying 5.52 crore people, following two extensions from the original October 7 deadline.
