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.
