SC allows Kerala govt to proceed with household survey

The Supreme Court of India has granted the Kerala government permission to continue with its household survey aimed at collecting vital demographic data. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing the state, clarified that no financial compensation had been allocated to the volunteers participating in this initiative. The survey is a crucial step for the state to gather accurate information on its population, which will assist in effective governance and resource allocation. The court's approval comes amid discussions around the importance of such surveys in formulating policies that cater to the actual needs of the residents. This development underscores the state's commitment to data-driven decision-making in addressing social and economic challenges faced by its citizens.
