Mega survey fails to count people who need aid the most

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said that the Intensive Household Survey conducted on Tuesday was aimed at ensuring that state benefits reach the deserving as effectively as possible. However, many people who most deserve aid were left out of the massive exercise that was done to document the details of the 84 lakh households in the newly formed state, NGO workers claimed.
Four lakh enumerators made their way across Telangana for a one-day exercise on Tuesday and even Wednesday to gather residents’ details – name, age, caste, religion, water, gas and electricity connections, disabilities, bank account numbers and movable assets. The Chief Minister said it was essential for the new state, which was carved out of Andhra Pradesh in June, to have access to credible data in order to make policy decisions.
