(a) to (e) : The Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011 (SECC 2011) was 'conducted by the  State  Governments/UT  Administrations'  with  the  financial  and  technical  support  of  the Government of  India  through  a  comprehensive  programme  involving  the  Ministry  of    Rural Development,  the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Poverty  Alleviation,  the  Office  of  the  Registrar General and Census Commissioner (ORGI), Ministry of Home Affairs and State Governments/UT  Administrations.  SECC  2011  has  been  carried  out  by  respective  State Governments/UT administration wherein all households listed in National Population Register (NPR) were compulsorily canvassed in respect of six stages of SECC inter-alia (i) enumeration; (ii)  supervision;  (iii)  verification  and  correction;  (iv)  draft  list  publication;  (v)  claims  and objections; and (vi) final list publication. The SECC Data at 'Draft stage' was placed in public domain and was displayed prominently in Gram Panchayats for inviting claims and objections during Gram Sabhas. The Claims and objections received were examined by the appropriate authority  in  district.  Based  on  decision  on  claims  and  objections,  the  SECC  Draft  list  was finalized in each District by District Authority. Thus, due care was taken to avoid any possible error in collection of data by the State Governments/UT administrations. The SECC 2011 has been completed on 31.03.2016.

The  State  Government  of  Andhra  Pradesh  has  intimated  Ministry  of  Rural  Development regarding identification of 20.99 lakh households for inclusion in Permanent Wait List (PWL) as  eligible  beneficiary  on  the  basis  of  their  own  survey.  However,  the  State  is  required  to upload complete information on AwaasSoft in this regard.
