Madikeri, Sep. 25: The State Backward Classes Commission's survey of the social and educational conditions of all families in the district is progressing slowly amidst some problems. The district has a target of surveying 1.23 lakh houses, but since Sep. 22, only 2,500 houses have been surveyed.
While it is raining heavily across the district, the staff assigned for the survey are facing difficulties due to network problems and server down. Houses are also far apart in the district. Even after going to one house and conducting the survey, the surveyors are facing difficulties due to server down, network problems, unavailability of OTP and other reasons.
Although the people are cooperating, there are complaints about the excessive delay. Those assigned for the survey have been given a target of covering about 80 to 150 houses. It has been learned that some staff have been able to complete the work of only a few houses so far.
In addition, the public is reporting the staff's struggles, saying that this work is being carried out amidst fear and hesitation due to the menace of leeches and dogs.
A teacher who went to the census in the Bettadalli Gram Panchayat area of Shantalli Hobli area of Somwarpet taluk has developed health problems due to leech bites and has appealed to senior officials to be released from the census work.
Along with this, it has been found that teachers are suffering due to unscientific rules during the educational and social census survey, and the taluk tahsildar has brought the problem to the attention of the teachers.
While the enumerator teachers are visiting the houses, there is a technical error and the mobile app is not working. The teachers said that OTP and ODP are not coming. During the census, some houses in the same block do not have UHID numbers. The allocation is done in a different way. The problem is that the UHID number cards in most of the houses in the taluk have been soaked in rainwater and the numbers have been erased.
In addition, there are incidents of teachers fleeing the place due to the threat of dogs. Some teachers are taking their husbands or family members for help. In rural areas, houses are far away and they have to climb the forest to conduct the survey. Going to houses in hamlets is also an adventure. Overall, the enumerators are under pressure to complete the census of the number of houses given to them in a short period of time.
In the midst of all this, some leaders of the teachers' organizations have withdrawn from the census work due to their influence. Allegations are also being heard during the survey that they have used their influence on the field education officers to prevent their names from being registered for the survey.
Responding to this with "strength", District Backward Classes Department Officer Deepak said that the server problem is a statewide problem and efforts are being made to resolve it. Everyone is aware of the network problem in Kodagu. However, there are still many days left and the survey will be completed during this period.
