Past experiences have shown that there has been massive errors in emumeration of people for what was earlier known as BPL survey. With the use of IT solutions, lot of discretion on the part of the enumerators to manipulate the census/ survey data has been effectively checked.
The SECC is to be kick started by mid November. Hence the training of BDOs/ Tahsildars/ Executive officers of ULBs was taken up by a team from govt of Orissa in Panchayat Raj dept.
