Methodology

1. A very high number of households reported to havea. Members belonging to Primitive Tribal Groups (PTG),b. Members who are Legally Released Bonded Labor (LRBL),c. Members who are Manual Scavengers (MS)

2. In urban areas, data collected on numbers of occupational categories like beggars and rag-pickers are found to be unreasonably high.

3. Apparently wrong/ incomplete entries of Caste/Tribe name, e.g., “other”/ “open”/ “general”/ “OBC” /

abbreviated caste name/ religion name, etc. have been found in enumerated data.

Need for Verification & Correction Module

• The above type of errors have already been identified using Data view Module (DVM) Software and have been rectified through supervisors using Supervisory module.

• Data Verification and Correction Module Software can identify the possible errors pertaining to the above fields after completion of Supervisory module using DVM.

• Printouts of such errors identified through Verification and Correction Module will be taken and corrected by the Verifying Officers.

• Then the corrected files will be uploaded to NIC website before generation of Draft files.

• This stage is very important as it is the last stage of rectifying the possible errors before putting the data in public domain.

Need of Verification Module

The District Administration shall appoint a government official as ‘Verifying Officer’ for the purpose of this module. They should be 1.Above the rank of the ‘Supervisors’ engaged/appointed for SECC, or,2.In case such officials are not sufficiently available, Officials equivalent to the position/rank of ‘Supervisor’ should be appointed. 3.In case these official/human resource is not available, then, ‘Supervisors’ appointed for SECC may be engaged as ‘Verifying Officer’, but they should be engaged outside the EBs/Cluster of EBs where they undertook the supervisory work.

Verifying Officer

1. All E-Files and S-Files to be uploaded to NIC Website.2. After uploading of E-File & S-File for a particular EB, both the files of

that EB will be merged together and processed through the Verification & Correction Software in the NIC Website.

3. If the data pertaining to that EB will have no error then no Verification file (V-File) will be generated. For that EB there will be no need to use Verification & Correction Module.

4. If the data pertaining to the particular EB will have any of the errors discussed earlier then the V-File will be generated and the Verification & Correction Module will be implemented.

5. Verification & Correction Module will be implemented only in those households in a particular EB where there is possibility of error.

6. Depending upon the number of V-Files generated in a particular Charge Centre, the Verifying Officers will be identified by the Charge Officer.

Pre-requisites of Verification & Correction Module

1. The Verification and Correction Module has to be implemented before draft publication.

2. The household numbers with member details, EB numbers with their reported/enumerated data for the error households would be made available at the Data Charge Centers with the help of application software.

3. There will be printed form for each of these households with earlier entry and space for new/verified entry.

4. The District Administration will send one person (called the “Verifying Officer”) to those particular households and get the correct data from respondents in that printed form. Verifying Officer should be provided with the AHL & Layout map of the EB.

5. The corrected data will be entered in the local Computer at the Charge Centre with the help of the application software and will be uploaded to NIC server.

6. The Verifying Officer will not be accompanied by the Data Entry Operator or Tablet PC.

7. Based on the Correction files uploaded to NIC, the draft list files will be generated by NIC to be used for Claims and objection procedure.

8. The service provider CPSU would ensure the engagement of Data Entry Administrators (DEAs) in required quantity and quality.

Implementation of Data Verification Module

Households with following type of errors will be identified through Verification & Correction Module :For Rural EBs:1.Primitive Tribal Group (PTG)2.Legally Released Bonded Labour (LRBL)3.Manual Scavenger (MS)4.Wrong/ Incomplete entries for Religion and Caste/ Tribe nameFor Urban EBs:1.Main Source of Income as

Note the following:

1. There are a total of 13 PTGs notified by the Government of India for

State of Odisha which is in the next slide.

name of the PTG with the State list. After satisfying him/herself, the household

“Bonded labor” means forced, or partly forced, labor under which a debtor enters,

into an agreement to render, labor or service to the creditor either by himself or

through any member of his family, for a specified period or for any unspecified

period, either without wages or for nominal wages. So if a person provides labor or

service to another for remuneration less than the minimum wage, the labor or service

falls within the scope and ambit of the words forced labor under the constitution.

The Bonded Labour System stands abolished throughout the country with the enactment

of Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976. It freed unilaterally all the bonded

labourers from bondage with simultaneous liquidation of their debts. It made the practice

of bondage a cognizable offence punishable by law.

If a household has “Legally Released Bonded Labor” the district administration will have

the documents of the process of releasing the person(s) from bonded labor. The District

Administration may ensure that the data collected during SECC is in consonance with

the official records .

If any member of the household is a legally released bonded laborer give the code 1 and

if not give code 2.
