States Struggle to Provide Religion-Wise Data to Demography Panel
State governments are struggling to provide religion-wise data requested by the High-Level Committee on Demographic Changes (HLCDC), which seeks 15 years of information on births, vehicle registrations, school enrolment, property transactions, and identity-document registrations across religious groups. Officials cite constitutional constraints and the lack of religion-based record-keeping as challenges. The committee's 35-point questionnaire also includes inquiries into religious structures, unusual increases in identity registrations, and reports on religious conversions among Scheduled Tribes.
