Overview

  • Authorities set October 24 as the new finish date for the Greater Bengaluru Authority region and October 12 for the rest of Karnataka.
  • Official data show 1.15 crore of 1.43 crore households surveyed, covering about 4.32 crore people for an 80.39% completion rate.
  • Government and aided schools will run 8 a.m.–1 p.m. schedules from October 8 to enable teachers assigned as enumerators to continue fieldwork.
  • Operational problems persist, including app glitches, UHID allocation confusion, rushed or partial interviews, and localized refusals linked to poor mobile connectivity in places like Shivamogga.
  • The Congress government defends the survey’s purpose for welfare planning as the BJP urges non-cooperation, with High Court directions requiring voluntary participation and privacy safeguards.
