KCR has been stating that there are more ration cards as they are supposed to be.

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to organise pre-survey visits by enumerators to each of the nearly 20 lakh households in its jurisdiction on 19^th August 2014 so as to facilitate smooth enumeration of households during the Samagra Kutumba Survey (Integrated Household Survey) and two pre-visits on August 17 & 18 by the assigned officials to ensure all households are aware of the exercise.

Officials estimate that at least one lakh enumerators are needed for the purpose. The survey intends to figure out the scams and loop holes in the government schemes and to reframes the policies in a legitimate way.

Citizens can simply go through their previous bills for tap connection details, property tax details, electricity details. Regarding caste certificates, birth certificates, physically challenged certificates etc. they may produce photocopies of the same to the enumerator. A pamphlet and a checklist in three languages will be given to households on August 17 and 18 during the pre-survey visit to make the survey simple. People can access more information regarding the survey at 24X7 helpline 040-21 11 11 11.

Intensive House-hold Survey application forms

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has said that only people who are enrolled in the survey will be eligible for welfare schemes and benefits offered by the state government in future. People are now frantically asking their near and dear ones to return home at any cost for the survey.

The sample application copies are illustrated as below. The survey doesn’t question any one whether they are from which state or which region it is simply an survey to have the clear database of the people who are residing in Telangana and to introduce best schemes.

Reports say the survey sample will have 10 sub-sections on 70 parameters , seeking personal details of family members, including religion, caste, ration card, bank accounts, marital status to details about Aadhaar, pensions, ownership of houses, whether beneficiary of  government housing schemes etc, details about electricity connection, and  physically-challenged if any, even diseases and  agriculture details including livestock details and movable assets like vehicles, tractors and agri-related machinery.

No nativity column is expected in the survey form. The survey will be more of a social and economic survey. The survey sample will be finalised by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao next week. Since there is large-scale migration to Hyderabad from other states, the government feels that a different survey methodology has to be adopted here to identify locals and non-locals, who will be eligible for various welfare schemes to be extended by the state government.

It also plans on giving priority to Telangana locals in the scheme. The household survey holds the key, even for extending other benefits like fee reimbursement for the Telangana native students. In the meeting convened with senior officials at the Secretariat here on Friday on household survey, the Chief Minister said that it requires a special exercise to take up survey in the GHMC area due to the presence of the huge population and a large number of households.
