Hyderabad: The Congress Working Committee (CWC) Friday passed a resolution urging the Centre to emulate the ‘Telangana model‘ for caste enumeration. The resolution, adopted during a key meeting in Delhi attended by chief minister A Revanth Reddy and other senior leaders, described the state’s approach as an “effective and inclusive” framework.
“In Telangana, the design of the caste survey was developed through a consultative and transparent process, with active involvement from civil society, social scientists, and community leaders. Rather than being a closed bureaucratic exercise, it was open to public inputs and scrutiny,” the CWC resolution said. “The CWC strongly urges the central govt to adopt a similar approach for the national caste census.” the resolution said.
According to sources, CM Revanth gave a detailed presentation on Telangana’s caste survey during the meeting. The Congress high command reportedly praised his leadership and the survey’s implementation.
Taking to social media after the meeting, Revanth said, “It is a matter of pride that the CWC has resolved to urge the Centre to follow the Telangana model in conducting the caste census. It was hailed as inclusive and effective.”
He also extended his congratulations to all officials, experts, and community stakeholders involved in the survey, acknowledging their dedication and the positive outcomes of their efforts.
The resolution further signals the Congress party’s intent to position itself as a champion of social justice and transparency ahead of the national census.
