SECC stands for "Socio-Economic Caste Census." It is a comprehensive survey and analysis conducted by the government of India to identify and classify households based on their socio-economic status and caste affiliation. The objective of SECC is to provide accurate and up-to-date information about the economic conditions, social inclusion, and living standards of households across the country.
SECC assesses various socio-economic indicators, such as income, employment status, education levels, housing conditions, access to basic amenities, ownership of assets, and participation in government welfare programs. It also records data on caste affiliations, aiming to identify and reach out to marginalized and disadvantaged communities for targeted welfare and development programs.
The SECC database serves as a useful tool for policymakers, researchers, and administrators to formulate effective policies and programs based on the specific needs and realities of different social groups. By categorizing households into different socio-economic and caste categories, SECC helps in identifying beneficiaries for poverty alleviation schemes, social welfare programs, and subsidies, thus ensuring a more equitable and inclusive distribution of resources.
Overall, SECC serves as a vital instrument for the government to understand the socio-economic conditions of households, bridge the gaps between different social groups, and devise targeted interventions to uplift the marginalized sections of society.
