UoM to study caste genealogy of Ediga-Billava community in southern states
Mysuru: After the Vishwakarma and Devanga communities, the University of Mysore (UoM) is now set to undertake the caste genealogy study of the Ediga-Billava and all its sub-castes in the southern states where this community is prevalent. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This study will be conducted by the Centre for Social Exclusion and Inclusion at UoM. It will be funded by the D Devaraj Urs Research Institute, Bengaluru. DC Nanjunda, associate professor of the centre, is heading the study. This study will also cover Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, where the Ediga community population is widespread. According to sources, the study is expected to shed light on the current challenges faced by the community, the sub-castes within it, their demands, and govt interventions required to support the caste, which is predominantly found in the coastal and Malnad areas, as well as the Kalyana Karnataka districts and other southern states of the country. In Karnataka, this caste and its sub-castes are considered numerically strong. The study will focus on the current scenario and the various needs of the community, which will help govt to frame policies. Meanwhile, according to sources, state govt is likely to undertake ethnographic studies of six more backward communities through the Devaraja Research Institute. Sources informed that govt is likely to approve a proposal in this regard during the approval of the annual action plan of the backward classes welfare department, which is funding these studies through its research arm, the D Devaraj Urs Research Institute. This will be the fourth such ethnographic study carried out by the department. "The Kapala community ethnographic study was conducted without any funding support," said Nanjunda.
