Information Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim said the survey, will would begin shortly, was aimed at understanding the community better.
"We have often heard that the Indian community in dire needs of help but we cannot see it through the present window of the society and do something about it.
"We want to see this survey open several windows of new understanding on how we can interact and improve their way of life in the estates," he told reporters after launching the Rapat 1Malaysia campaign at the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple Devasthanam Square in Batu Caves here today.
Rais said Jasa would submit the survey findings and recommendations of what needed to be done to improve the standard of living of the community to the government.
To Merdeka Centre's findings on rise in confidence from the Indian community to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's leadership, Rais said the government machinery should not get too complacent with the results of the survey.
"What should we do after this is to get the people's touch, that is we see how the relationship between the community with government policies strikes an understanding or becoming really friendly.
"1Malaysia should be translated not only through rhetoric or narrative but also through our treatment of the people," he said.
On the carnival, he said the event, which was held with the participation of 45 non-governmental organisations, was a success as it drew a large turnout.
"This evening we see the Indian community is actually a community which always cooperate with government departments in working towards the transition and transformation of their lives," he said.
