#1: Beneficiary identification

Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 ranks the households based on their socio-economic status.(=a database is created)State Governments can use this database to prepare the list of families living below poverty line (BPL).(Combined with UID) This database can be utilized for identification of beneficiaries for various socio-economic welfare schemes.
