India to Include Caste Enumeration in National Census

India to Include Caste Enumeration in National Census

India is planning to count people by their caste in the upcoming national census.

This means they'll be keeping track of different groups of people based on their social status.

This hasn't been done systematically since 1931!

The goal is to see how these groups are affected by climate change.

By doing this, India hopes to learn more about how things like where people live and what they do are related to the effects of a changing climate.

This will provide important data on how climate affects different groups in the country.
