Hi Harish,
I have experienced the sensus data collection process on 12/02/2011. the
folks came. We have heard from several channels that, computers,
refrigerators, mobile connection etcetera will be counted. But I did not
experienced such data collection. The person came to me said that,
government has instructed that, the children below 6 years will be counted
as illiterate. Yes, the handicapped persons are being counted. But no
details more than type and onset are counted. and moreover, this data will
be not used for UID purpose the person said. So I could not understand what
is the benefit of UID?
I have said what I experienced. If any of our list member experienced
something different we will be glad to hear from them.
Regards.
Yours sincerely,
Amarnath De.
