Bengaluru: In a strongly worded open letter to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, BJP MLC CT Ravi has urged immediate government intervention to address the mounting challenges in the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes' ongoing Socio-Economic and Educational Survey SEJS. CM Siddaramaiah Orders Officials to Expedite Caste Survey, Sets October 7 Deadline.!
Launched on September 22, 2025, the survey aims to gather comprehensive data on castes and communities but has been plagued by logistical and technical glitches, overburdening enumerators and participants alike. Ravi highlighted the strain on already overworked teachers, who are now facing additional hurdles.

The mobile app for data collection is malfunctioning in many areas, including enumerator appointments and information entry. Network issues in hilly and remote regions exacerbate the problem, delaying the process.

A key concern is the lack of precise house mapping, leading to risks of duplicate entries or omissions. The UHID numbers provided for house identification are error-prone, wasting enumerators' time and effort. OTP delivery failures for verifiers and respondents further stall verification, including Aadhaar authentication.
Ravi noted that mandating 60 questions per household has become a burden, causing frustration among data providers and demotivating field staff.New Delhi: R. Venkataramani Reappointed as Attorney General..!
Moreover, enumerators and supervisors face threats to complete the survey on time rather than support to resolve issues, Ravi alleged. "The government's failure to anticipate these problems has turned a vital exercise into a ordeal," he wrote, calling for swift corrective measures to ensure accuracy and fairness.
This letter comes amid the survey's tight timeline, ending October 7, 2025, with 1.85 lakh teachers deployed. Ravi's plea underscores the need for transparency to prevent the survey from becoming another shelved report like the 2015 caste census.Turkish President Raises Kashmir Issue at UN…!!!
