The survey, which began on September 22, was initially scheduled to end on October 7 but faced delays in several districts, including Bengaluru where only 34% of the work was done. Over 1.2 lakh teachers are involved in the survey, and the extension was requested by teacher associations. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah emphasized that special classes would be arranged to compensate for lost academic time. The decision was taken after consultation with the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes.
