Survey Begins in Rahmat Abad, Bhatkal: Residents Advised to Cooperate

Survey officials have begun visiting homes in Rahmat Abad, Bhatkal, at any time as part of the Karnataka Backward Classes Socio-Economic Survey 2025. All families are requested to fully cooperate during the survey and provide accurate information.

How to Prepare and What to Expect

• Ready Your Documents:
  Keep Ration Card, Aadhaar Card, and Voter ID ready for all family members. If new Aadhaar is applied for, keep the acknowledgment slip.
• OTP Process:
  Every household member—including those currently abroad (NRI/Gulf)—will receive a unique OTP on the mobile number linked in their Aadhaar.
  • It is crucial to inform NRI members to keep their phones active, ensure their SIMs are charged, and check for SMS messages regularly.
  • If an OTP is received, share it promptly with the survey official so they can complete verification.
• Household Head Photo:
  The team will photograph the head of the family or any present member.
• Survey Details:
  Be ready to answer questions related to:
  • Religion: Islam (Code No 2)
  • Caste: Muslim (A-1002)
  • Sub-caste (choose as applicable):
    • Navayat A-1061
    • Nakhuda A-1039
    • Byari A-0233
    • Dakhani Muslim A-0282
  • Mother tongue:

  • Other questions: age, qualification, marital status, employment details, annual income, property, education, etc.
• If a Member is Away:
