The Telangana government is expected to start a caste survey from November 4-5 and it is likely to be completed by November 30, minister Ponnam Prabhakar said. He was addressing the media after a cabinet meeting during which a proforma for the caste survey was approved.


Prabhakar said the exercise is being taken up in line with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's commitment to conduct a caste survey in the state as well as across the nation.


The minister said 80,000 government employees will be roped in for conducting the survey. Revenue Minister P Srinivas Reddy said the cabinet also decided that 3,500 houses will be constructed for the poor in each of the 119 assembly constituencies.
