BENGALURU: Karnataka govt is likely to establish a cabinet sub-committee to evaluate the controversial socio-economic and educational survey report, commonly referred to as the caste census report, after it is tabled at the cabinet meeting scheduled for Oct 18.
This indication emerged during a meeting on Monday between chief minister Siddaramaiah and ministers and MLAs representing backward classes . The CM also held a meeting with a delegation comprising four former chairpersons of Karnataka State Backward Classes Commission who insisted that the report has been prepared scientifically.
"The govt might form a cabinet sub-committee to review the caste census findings and seek a report in three months. After that, the census report, along with the committee's recommendations, will be tabled in both the houses of the legislature," an MLA, who attended the meeting, said.
"We have decided to place caste census report before cabinet on Oct 18 and take an appropriate decision," Siddaramaiah said after meeting. "This is not a survey of just backward classes but of entire seven crore Kannadigas. Karnataka is the first state to carry out such a survey," he added. Conducted by the Karnataka State Permanent Backward Classes Commission between 2005 and 2017, the findings are yet to be disclosed to the public.
