On Monday, the government issued orders that allow people from the planned caste to identify themselves as “Buddhist” in the column of religion, which is part of the planned certificate of Kast.
While Monday’s order issued by the Social Security Department allows those of the 101 planned caste to be transformed into Buddhism to declare their religion into a caste certificate, also allows families to declare their religion as “Buddhism” in the column of religion in documents of schools under the Ministry of Education and literacy, private schools and other educational schools.
The latest GO was issued within the Act on Planned Carnataka Castles, scheduled tribes and other back -class laws (reservation in appointment) from 1990, which was amended in 2024.
The order stated that although the circulation was issued earlier, several organizations and associations tried to clarify this question and asked the government in this respect to issue an order. The order quoted instructions issued by the Ministry of Social Conditions of the Government of the Union in November 1990, Regulation of the Ministry of Social Justice and Section, 2016 and 2017, which was based on the Constitution Act (planned caste) (amendment) of 1990.
