Andhra Pradesh Caste census

January 25, 2024

The Andhra Pradesh government has started “caste survey”, aimed at creating a comprehensive caste-based database of people.
The comprehensive caste census is scheduled for 10 days in one phase and if needed, it will be extended by four or five days.
Andhra Pradesh has become the second state after Bihar to take up the caste census.
During the ‘caste survey’, volunteers will visit every home to collect the caste details, which will be relayed to the village secretariat system.
A mobile application has been created to collect details of individuals instantaneously during the visit of village and ward secretariat staffers to the households.
