Mysore/Mysuru: The Central Government must conduct a nationwide caste census to collect accurate data, based on which the classification of the castes must be done, said former Advocate General Prof. K. Ravivarma Kumar, here this morning.
Speaking after inaugurating a workshop on the topic ‘Reservation and Classification’ organised at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Research and Extension Centre, University of Mysore, Manasagangothri, he said that the Karnataka has listed a total of 101 castes. With the power of classification vested with the State not a single caste should be ignored during the classification process.
