"Now the Rajasthan government has decided to conduct a caste based survey in accordance with their sentiments.This is a welcome step.
This will especially help in making policies for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes.It is also very important to ensure social justice and population sharing," he said.
