It transcended the normal statistical process of data collection as is done world over in either census or sampling modes. As the objective of SECC is mainly to facilitate strict correspondence between the targeted government benefits and intended individuals and households, the privacy and secrecy concerns of survey units are put to public scrutiny, but with appropriate care given to those respondents who want to maintain their own privacy. Therefore, SECC had gone beyond a normal statistical exercise and encapsulated various dimensions of a complex socio-political process.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePraise for this book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis book explains very lucidly how complex problems confronted in conceptualisation and also while collecting data in the Socio-Economic Caste Census project.
