Hyderabad: door to door caste poll began in the state on Saturday and officials started it from the Raj Bhawan in the city after receiving details from Governor Jishnu Dev Varma.
Barring a few isolated incidents such as villagers boycotting a poll in Gundampalli in Nirmal district to protest against an ethanol plant, a pet dog attempting to attack enumerators in Banjara Hills and the Vishwabrahman Association in Adilabad complaining about the lack of name of their community. (although their caste was indicated) – the survey basically went through without any special obstacles.
However, many working families, especially couples, request that census takers come to them on Sundays, holidays, or after business hours. The Department of Planning, which is overseeing the survey under the direction of a special British Columbia commission, has assured families that they can submit their data at their current addresses and are not required to return to their home areas for the survey.
Despite stickers being put up on houses over the past three days, a number of residents reported that the enumerators had not visited their homes. Officials clarified that the survey is being conducted in phases to cover all 1.17 million families in the state and is expected to be completed by the end of the month. Residents have been asked to keep documents such as Aadhar and ration cards, educational certificates, land and house ownership details and any queries related to Dharani ready for the enumerators.
A total of 94,750 enumerators and 9,478 supervisors were employed to collect data. Some families have expressed concern that answering the long list of questions asked by enumerators takes a long time.
