Karwar: The ongoing state-wide socio-educational survey in Karnataka has so far covered 2,44,201 households in Uttara Kannada district till Saturday. The survey, conducted by the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes, aims to gather comprehensive data on the social and educational conditions of people across the state.
According to official sources, the survey work in the district has made steady progress, achieving 74.71 percent completion so far. The survey is being carried out simultaneously in both urban and rural areas to ensure an accurate assessment of the social and educational status of all communities in the district.
It is worth mentioning that citizens have also been provided with the option to submit complete details of themselves and their family members online through self-declaration. The government has advised the public to make use of this facility and submit their details directly at https://kscbcselfdeclaration.karnataka.gov.in without waiting for surveyors to visit their homes. This initiative aims to ensure timely completion of the survey work.
When visiting the official link, users are first required to click on the “Citizen” option and enter their mobile number, after which a One-Time Password (OTP) is sent for verification. Once verified, the next page displays the current survey status of the household — whether it has already been surveyed or is still pending. If the household details are incomplete, the system provides an option to start a new survey.
On the following page, citizens must enter the UHID number printed on the sticker affixed to their house by HESCOM, and then provide the required details, including the ration card, Aadhaar card, and voter ID numbers of family members. Upon successful completion of the process, a confirmation message is received on the registered mobile number.
A notable feature of this online facility is that citizens do not need to be physically present at home to submit their details — the process can be completed from anywhere. Another advantage is that by entering their own information, people can ensure that no errors or incorrect data are recorded during the survey.
