Telangana starts caste survey with last-minute changes to questionnaire | India News – Times of India
Sources said the questionnaire has been revised several times in the last two weeks, resulting in around eight versions being prepared before the start of the three-phase survey. The latter contains 56 broad questions. Question No. 55 pertains to information about a relative of a respondent who is in an inter-caste marriage.
Some of the changes can be found in the education section of the questionnaire. One of these asks respondents to indicate at what stage they may have dropped out of school. The penultimate draft contained three education-related questions, while the final draft contained an additional question. Some of the major revisions in the questionnaire relate to housing. tnn
