Caste and skill censuses play an important role in understanding society. A skill census helps identify an individual’s abilities, while a caste census sheds light on the socio-economic differences within a community. Both types of data are essential for governments to make informed decisions, and integrating them could yield better results.

In today’s competitive and globalized world, I believe a skill census is more important than a caste census. By focusing on identifying and utilizing the diverse talents in our population, a skill census can help India achieve its goal of becoming a global leader. As the world shifts toward knowledge-based industries, a skill census can empower individuals and prepare them to compete internationally.

For ensuring social justice and equality, a caste-based census is more effective. A skill census can be misused by self-serving politicians, while a caste census has the potential to identify the most disadvantaged groups in society. In India, caste is closely tied to socio-economic conditions and deprivation. A caste census can play a vital role in reducing economic inequality and providing equal opportunities for marginalized communities.

A skill census offers numerous advantages for individuals, organizations, and society as a whole. It can improve career opportunities for young people and contribute to industrial growth. Beyond that, it brings societal benefits that can significantly drive economic progress. For these reasons, a skill census is more beneficial than a caste census.
