The focus of the mapping process is to ensure “authenticity and accuracy” using technology

The state regularly maps of socioeconomic, educational and employment status in caste communities (starting on Monday), emphasizing the use of technology to ensure the “authenticity and accuracy” of the investigation. This significance did not cover all families after allegations of the Socio-Economic and Educational Investigation (Catal Census), and doubts were raised about the accuracy of its findings by opposition parties and various community organizations.

The mapping of the SC family is not only done through mobile applications, but also includes several measures to ensure accuracy.

How the process works

According to the survey manual, the number of Aadhaar or ration cards for the family must be entered during the enumeration period to verify the identity of the mapped family.

The enumerator also has to click on the image of the home header and upload it to the application. After completing the survey, the enumerator will have to read the content/data that has been uploaded to the family and obtain consent to ensure accuracy.

How to submit

After the entire process is completed, the family head who is under investigation will obtain the application number on his or her mobile phone. According to the survey manual, the enumerator will have to upload this application number and a picture of the family signature made on paper and press the Submit button.
