Subject: Re: [FDR] Fwd: Caste Census, we must oppose this proposal. [2 Attachments]
Yogendraji says that the data collected may or may not be linked to the main census data gathered in February. I am of the view that it is an uphill task if not impossible to link the data collected in separate caste census to the main census data. How the two will be linked is a question that can only be answered by software professionals. In the software of census data, the household data of main census and the separate caste census data will have to be assigned the same identification mark so that they could tally to each other. Any way, If the caste data is to be linked to the main census data then what is the need of delinking census from caste. Yogendraji should clarify this.

[Attachment(s) from Yogendra Yadav included below]Dear friends,I have just got a copy of the cabinet decision as circulated to the media. The copy is attached.This note gives more details. It is clear that the task will not be assigned to anyone except the RGI. So the apprehension that it may be handed over to the states or any ministry has been laid to rest. The tabulation will also be done by the RGI and not by ministry of social justice as some of us had feared.It does not clarify whether the data collected will be linked to the main census data gathered in February, but it does not rule that either. The note talks of appointing an expert group do the final tabulation.My own (first) impression is that the decision is not as good as asking the question in the main census but better than linking it to biometrics. It leaves open the possibility of linking the data to socio-educational and economic variables collected by the census. My emphasis would therefore be to press the government to clarify this linkage and to ensure that the right kind of experts are on the group. Other issues about cost and logistics are not irrelevant but are not on the top of my agenda.Let us have an informed debate about this before taking a firm stand. I would in particular welcome any advice from Mr Vijayanunni, Satish Deshpande and Justice Rao.YoursYogendra--
