Explanation:

The SECC, 2011 has the following three objectives:
• To enable households to be ranked based on their socioeconomic status. State Governments can then prepare a list of families living below the poverty line.
• To make available authentic information that will enable castewise population enumeration of the country.
• To make available authentic information regarding the socioeconomic condition, and education status of various castes and sections of the population. Before 2011 the last caste census was on 1931 which formed the basis for reports of Mandal Commission. Unlike any other census it was focused on households rather than on
individuals.
This census was commenced in 2011 by Ministry of Rural Development. This census will help in both estimating the poverty line and identifying the beneficiaries.
