Modi Government's Historic Move: Caste Enumeration Approved for Next Census

The BJP praises the Modi government's approval for caste enumeration in the upcoming census, highlighting its commitment to social justice and empowerment of disadvantaged communities. Union ministers emphasize the decision as a landmark step towards equity, aiming to recognize and empower socially and economically backward classes.

In a groundbreaking development, the Modi government has announced the inclusion of caste enumeration in the forthcoming census, a move hailed as 'historic' by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This decision reflects the government's dedication to social equality and the empowerment of all community sections.
