Ahead of Budget, MHA caps census survey expenditure

The Union home ministry has cut the budget for Census Survey and Statistics. The Registrar General of India will still proceed with the delayed census and update the National Population Register. Additional funds can be accessed if needed. The government does not plan to collect caste-wise data in the upcoming Census, except for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
