Bengaluru: The Social and Educational survey (caste census) will start across the state as planned on Monday, except in Bengaluru (Greater Bengaluru Authority limits), where the process has been postponed by a few days for administrative reasons.

The survey is scheduled from September 22 to October 07. However, a delay in the start date in GBA limits may extend the survey beyond October 7 in Bengaluru. The survey may be delayed in Bengaluru by around 4-5 days.

However, Backward Classes Commission chairman Madhusudan R Naik clarified during a news conference that any such delay wouldn’t affect schools.

“In Bengaluru, there are not many teachers who are enumerators. We are also utilising people from other departments. Thus, even if the survey extends by 2-3 days, it won’t affect teaching.
