The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike is currently conducting a comprehensive survey of Scheduled Castes (SC) within its limits.As part of this initiative, BBMP teams are visiting households across all eight zones of the city and affixing verification stickers.
This survey aims to collect scientific data on the representation of 101 communities listed under the Scheduled Castes.The deadline for completion has been extended to June 30,2025.
To confirm participation in the survey,BBMP teams are actively involved in affixing stickers at the entrances of households.
The survey is being implemented effectively citywide.As teams visit each household, they ensure the survey has been completed and then place a sticker on the front door or wall of the residence to indicate participation.
*Supervised by Senior Officials:
Starting today,the sticker distribution campaign is being implemented across all eight BBMP zones.Zonal Commissioners and Joint Commissioners are personally visiting homes to monitor and supervise the process.
*Public Appeal to Participate in the Survey:
So far,the BBMP has surveyed approximately 1.84 lakh SC households and 32 lakh general households through a workforce of nearly 11,000 enumerators.
As a result, 6.72 lakh individuals belonging to Scheduled Castes have been identified. BBMP appeals to those who have not yet participated to do so promptly.
*Volunteer Teams Formed for Sticker Distribution:
To support the campaign,volunteer teams comprising students from NSS and NCC have been formed.These students are visiting homes to confirm survey completion and affix stickers accordingly.
For households yet to participate, the stickers feature a QR code,which residents can scan to complete the survey online. Alternatively,citizens may visit their nearest Bengaluru One Centre or BBMP ward office camp to take part in the survey.
BBMP is working with full commitment to achieve 100% completion of the Scheduled Caste Comprehensive Survey in Bengaluru.
All officials are actively engaged in this effort,and the BBMP urges all residents to participate and support this important initiative.
