Chidambaram was against it ( currently Rajnath Singh) citing practical difficulties in counting caste while conducting the census. The SECC 2011 was conducted in all states and union terriotories of India and the first findings were revealed on 3 July 2015 by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.〔http://www.livemint.com/Politics/Z7qBrPVydCpoMJ6hkunaZP/Arun-Jaitley-refutes-charges-of-withholding-caste-census-dat.html〕 SECC 2011 is also first paperless census in India conducted on hand-held electronic devices by the government in 640 districts. The rural development ministry has taken a decision to use the SECC data in all its programmes such as MGNREGA, National Food Security Act, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana. SECC 2011 was first-ever post-Independent caste-based census since 1931 Census of India and it was launched on 29 June 2011 from the Sankhola village of Hazemara block in West Tripura district. SECC 2011 data will also be used to identify beneficiary and expand the direct benefit transfer scheme as part of its plans to build upon the JAM (Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana-Aadhaar-Mobile Governance) trinity. SECC 2011 also counted other aspects like Manual scavenging and Transgender count in India. SECC 2011 was not conducted under 1948 Census of India Act,〔http://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/chuck-the-bpl-card/〕 which in turn made information disclosure voluntary for citizens, and not a mandatory disclosure. Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011 was the fourth exercise conducted by Government of India to identify households living below the poverty line in India that would get various entitlements, after three censuses in 1992, 1997 and 2002. The last BPL census was conducted in India in 2002 and the procedure adopted was to collect information on 13 indicators for every rural household and assign a mark for each of these. SECC 2011 has three census components which were conducted by three separate authorities, but under the overall coordination of Department of Rural Development in the Government of India: * Census in Rural Area has been conducted by the Department of Rural Development. * Census in Urban areas is under the administrative jurisdiction of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation. * Caste Census is under the administrative control of Ministry of Home Affairs: Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India. SECC data 2011 has been referred for analysis by an expert group, headed by NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Arvind Panagariya. This expert group is set up by the ministries of social justice and tribal development, before making public. ==Initial Errors in caste census published in July 2015== Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011 conducted by the Registrar General of India has come out with 46,73,034 categories of caste, sub-caste, synonyms, different surnames, gotras in the caste and clan names.
