💨 Abstract

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale advocated for a caste census to assess the representation of different communities in public and private sector jobs. He has been campaigning for this since 1998, emphasizing that the data is crucial for ensuring social justice and equal opportunities. Athawale believes that understanding the socio-economic status of various castes will help the government create inclusive policies and empower all caste groups.
