SC Census May Delay Academic Year in Coastal Districts
Imagine the government is trying to count all the people from certain groups living in specific areas.
Teachers are helping with this count, but it's taking longer than expected.
They have to visit people to ask questions.
Some problems include not having enough addresses at first and now rain is slowing them down.
The deadline has been moved, and it might interfere with the start of school.
Officials think they'll finish on time, while the teachers are unsure.
The government also made an app to help people do the census themselves.
Government school teachers in coastal districts are conducting a Scheduled Castes (SC) census.
The deadline for the census has been extended to May 25.
Teachers anticipate needing more time, possibly overlapping with the new academic year.
Challenges include reaching beneficiaries and heavy rainfall hindering progress.
Officials from the social welfare department are confident the census will be completed by May 25.
