The Union government is yet to take a call on conducting the next Census, but active discussion is on to expand the data collection to include caste enumeration
The move comes amid persistent demands by the Congress and other political parties, including National Democratic Alliance partners of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party
In 2011, the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) conducted the first-ever caste count, separate from the Census exercise, but the findings were never made public.
