The Social Welfare Department has begun collecting details of migrants from Bangladesh settled in Karnataka.
The Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Research Institute, working under the department, has instructed officers to send details of Bangladesh migrants belonging to certain castes so that they could be recommended for inclusion among the Scheduled Castes in the Central list.
The institute has sought details of those belonging to Namashudra, Pod/Poundra, and Rajabamshi castes residing in Karnataka. The instruction was sent to the Deputy Directors of the department in August. In turn, the Deputy Directors wrote to taluk officers, chief officers of urban local bodies, and panchayat development officers in the district to collect data.
