The government has released the Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 for Rural India, the first such data since 1932, which paints a grim picture of the rural India. The census points towards lopsided development with 75 per cent households having monthly income less than Rs 5,000 while 68 per cent owning a mobile phone. The SECC 2011, which was carried out in 640 districts, was released jointly by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Rural Development Minister Chaudhary Birendra Singh. SECC 2011 has three census components which were conducted by three separate authorities but under the overall coordination of Department of Rural Development in the Government of India.
Census in Rural Area has been conducted by the Department of Rural Development (DoRD). Census in Urban areas is under the administrative jurisdiction of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA). Caste Census is under the administrative control of Ministry of Home Affairs: Registrar General of India (RGI) and Census Commissioner of India.
The government did not put out data on the caste lines — it being a politically sensitive subject— and used economic criterion instead to map the picture in rural India.
The SECC 2011, a paperless exercise, was done using over 6.4 lakh electronic handheld device. It provides useful data on households, reflecting various aspects of their socio-economic status — housing, landholding/landlessness, educational status, status of women, differently abled, occupation, possession of assets, SC/ST households, incomes, among others. The government said the data was crucial since it would help in evidence-based planning for rural development and poverty reduction.
