Andhra Pradesh Smart Pulse Survey is a
massive survey of all 1.5 Million households in the state of AP, aimed
at capturing the required socio-economic data directly in digital form,
with online validations. The field surveyors can enter the data by
accessing the relevant federated databases through a connected tablet
application so that the data validations happen live and the scope for
mistakes is minimized and the consolidation and analysis of data can be
completed within no time of the completion of field survey.
The objectives of the proposed Smart Pulse Survey are
summarized below:
- Completing the seeding of
Aadhaar in the databases of identified developmental
- Ensuring the correctness of the
data already seeded with Aadhaar
- Ensuring that the demographic
data of any person is identical in the SRDH
- Eliminating duplicate records
- Deleting the records of persons
who have expired
- The
basic purpose of the Policy is to create the People Hub as a Single
Source of Truth. This can't be achieved unless all the relevant
databases mentioned earlier are made to converge and interoperate
seamlessly, within a short period of time to ensure synchronization
of the various datasets. The Smart Pulse Survey precisely attempts
to do this.
Against the above background, the Smart Pulse Survey can
be defined as a coordinated and synchronized effort at creation,
integration and convergence of the multiple databases relating to
socio-economic data of the people with the SRDH database. Government of
Andhra Pradesh has adopted Aadhaar as one of the most important datasets
to be used in the implementation of the development and welfare
programs.
