Modern Census to Identify the Deprived and Vulnerable
«This book explains very lucidly how complex problems confronted in conceptualisation and also while collecting data in the Socio-Economic Caste Census project. The book is written with clarity about various aspects involved in the design and execution of the Census. The collection of papers in this volume makes a lasting contribution to the ways to address the challenges involved in the identification of poor.'- R. Radhakrishna, Former Chairman, National Statistical Commission, currently Chairman, Centre for Economic and Social Studies (CESS), Hyderabad.
'As someone who was closely involved with the design and roll-out of SECC, and subsequently chaired an Expert Committee on methods of using its results, I am delighted with this book. The SECC exercise was not only massive and challenging, it involved many innovations never before used in India. These essays by those who were at its cutting-edge are both a testimony to their commitment and a lesson for such exercises in the future.'- Abhijit Sen, Former Member, Planning Commission of India.»

The book explains the way the SECC project was executed. Many lessons were learned while executing the project and, that was probably one of the valuable learning outcomes derived by its implementers. Written by a handful of SECC project key executioners, it compiles key features and challenges of the project and captures the contributions made by thousands of individuals and institutions. This volume would be a useful reading for students and practitioners of management, statistics, demography, public policy, administration, sociology, and social sciences.
