400,000 deployed for census in Uttar Pradesh
2010-05-16 22:40:00
Over 400,000 personnel have been engaged for carrying out census in
Uttar Pradesh, where the enumeration exercise was launched by Chief
Minister Mayawati Sunday.
The bulk of the work has been entrusted to school teachers.
According to an official press release, 'About 300,000 primary school
teachers were engaged in the exercise, besides several thousand
revenue and municipal officials and junior engineers'.
Mayawati has urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to include caste as
one of the key components in the census exercise.
In a letter to the prime minister Saturday, she alleged that
'exclusion of caste from the census operations in the past was
apparently the result of a conspiracy to prevent an authentic count of
the other backward classes (OBCs)'.
'Inclusion of caste of every citizen in the census was extremely
important with a view to ensuring that OBCs remained in the mainstream
of the country's development process,' she said.
