00:00We have submitted, government has received the report and it is under consideration. I am told that it is on 9th for consideration, detailed discussion. It is there before the cabinet.
00:10A lot of apprehensions we have seen that so many different cast MLAs, ministers, they are not seem very happy with the report. So just want to know that the basis on which this report has been.
00:23They may be having different ideas, opinions that will be discussed and sorted out in the cabinet. I don't know what are their queries and all those.
00:33What has been made from your side to make it more scientific?
00:38Sir, we have conducted the detailed survey. So we have collected the answers for 55 questions in the questionnaire. That is what is called a survey form.
00:50So that contains not only the cast but also other aspects of the matter regarding social backwardness, economic backwardness, educational backwardness, employment area and also family details and all those things have been covered.
01:06So therefore, it can't be called cast survey alone. So if you go and count only the cast aspect, then it can be called cast survey. This is not so.
01:15See, you see the details. You see the questionnaire. See, nobody can say that it is only solely cast survey.
01:22It is not cast survey. It is not cast survey. It includes all aspects which are necessary for the purpose of identifying the backwardness and also for the purpose of making programs for their development wherever it is necessary, including the population aspects also.
