About — Socio-Economic Caste Census 2011
The Socio‑Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 was a government‑run, nation‑wide survey that recorded households’ caste, income, assets, education and access to basic services. It underpins the targeting of welfare programmes; for instance, the SECC showed that about 37 % of Scheduled‑Caste families lived below the poverty line, shaping the rollout of the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana.
