To,
His Excellency The President of India
Rashtrapati Bhawan
New Delhi – 110001

His Excellency,

First of all we would like to introduce ourselves that we are working for the downtrodden, neglected, deprived sections of the society of this country. Pursuant to the debates in the Loksabha on 6th and 7th May 2010 the Government of India in 2011 decided to conduct the Socio Economic Caste Census in India by providing financial and technical support to the States. As per media reports approximately Rs.3,500/- crore of rupees has been spent to collect the said data. The said caste data is now with the Government of India or its agencies. Once the data has been collected on the direction of the government with the people’s money of this country, that should have been put before the people without any hesitation. A large number of people, several political parties and several important personalities have demanded to put the data in public domain.

Our organization has held a Conference on 22nd August , 2015, on the topic “Constitutional Mandate to Preserve Unity in Diversity & Caste Census Data – 2011” at Speaker Hall, Constitution Club, Vithal Bhai Patel Houses, Rafi Marg, New Delhi – 110001 and discussed the issue at length. 

Large number of intellectual people like Advocates, professors, Journalists, students, Doctors etc. attended the above said conference. The said Conference was presided over by Shri S. S. Nehra, Advocate, Supreme Court of India & well known social and Human Rights activist. Among other who put their views were Shri Raghu Thakur, renowned Socialist thinker, Ex.-All India General Secretary of Janta Dal and Samajwadi Party; Shri P.I. Jose, Advocate Supreme Court of India and Social activist; Dr. Manzoor Alam, Chairman, Institute of Objective Studies; Shri Anil Chamdia, renowned Journalist; Shri Dr. K.S. Bhati former Registrar of Indian Law Institute and Former Member of the Executive Council of Delhi University; Mr. Balev Sihag, Journalist and Dr. (Prof.) Kedar Prasad Meena expressed their views. A resolution was also passed in the conference requesting the Govt. of India to release the said Caste Census data in original shape at the earliest before the people of India. A copy of the resolution is annexed herewith. 

We, therefore, humbly request His Excellency to impress upon the Government of India to release the socio economic Caste Census Data at the earliest. 

With Highest Regards.
