The Karnataka Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Development Corporation has sought a survey of nomadic and semi-nomadic communities in the State to secure a comprehensive picture of the community and work for its upliftment.
This was stated by K. Ravindra Shetty, Chairman of Karnataka Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Development Corporation, here on Friday. Addressing a media conference, Mr. Shetty said that the survey will not only help assess the living condition of the community but provide a reliable and a baseline figure of their population. He said though it is currently estimated that their population was around 19 lakh, the community leaders aver that their population was in the range of around 75 lakh.
