As part of the comprehensive survey being conducted across the state for Maratha reservation, 30,000 employees of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will conduct house-to-house surveys in the city and suburban districts. The aim is to survey 39 lakh households in Mumbai in seven days. Even on holidays, these employees will have to go around morning and evening to do survey work. These employees face the challenge of surveying four to five lakh families a day.
The State Backward Classes Commission will conduct a survey of about two and a half crore families of Maratha and open categories from January 23 to 31. To check the social, economic and educational backwardness of the Maratha community, the work of conducting a war-level survey is going on through the State Backward Classes Commission. Under this, this survey is also going on in Mumbai through the municipal system.
In this regard, Additional Commissioner of the municipality Sudhakar Shinde said that there are about 92 thousand employees of the municipality, out of which 30 thousand employees will conduct the survey. Shinde informed that 2 lakh 65 thousand families in Mumbai were surveyed on the first day. Each employee has been given a target of 150 houses. Citizens of all castes and religions will be surveyed. So these employees will have to go to every house. The families who have the benefit of reservation will have to ask only four to five questions. So the family belonging to the open category or not having the benefit of reservation will have to ask complete 160 questions and then upload their signature on the app.

An honorarium of INR 10 per family will be given for conducting the survey. Also, Shinde said that INR 150 rupees will be given to the families who answered 160 questions. There were some problems with the software on the first day. But the officials also said that they have been resolved. Shinde expressed the belief that we are trying to complete this survey soon and will be 100 percent successful. The challenge is to complete this survey in less time. Shinde appealed on behalf of the administration that the residents should see the identity cards of the employees and cooperate with them. It has been experienced that in some places the surveyors from the societies are not allowed in, while some families refused the survey. But he assured that the information taken from this survey will not be used anywhere else.
