Re: [ZESTCaste] Caste census takes off

 

is the case census breaking by sub castes and caste and religion matrix?

frankly measures to capture bpl are set too low. the nfhs data on standard of living places figures on poverty as per this measure much higher. if one takes malnutrition or anaemia it is even  higher. whom is the govt. fooling.     

when are we going to have land, house (kind of house), livestock (kind of livestock), access to common prop resources, bank balance, post office account balance,. share ownership, vehicle onwerhsip, toilet ownership and other asset ownership by caste/sub caste and caste/religion? too much of tv, free rice, marriage assistance in the form of gold and none of the above leads to huge problems. 

 i know agric. census gives some data but it puts all dalits under one category. does this census include all the above resources
