ChandigarhThe statewide drug and socio-economic census will assess public perception about the AAP government’s performance apart from social and welfare indicators, as indicated by the questionnaire prepared to train the enumerators for it.Under the feedback column, the respondents will be asked about five top initiatives of the Bhagwant Mann government, three major problems that should be addressed on a priority, and whether households have benefited from state welfare plans.The survey will cover 65 lakh households across the state. The questionnaire, accessed by The Tribune, aims to generate reliable data on drug abuse, treatment access, caste-based discrimination, household finances, migration and access to welfare schemes.It will also take people’s views on the AAP government schemes, its campaign against drugs and farm distress.The questionnaire, which is part of a 96-page training manual prepared by the Department of Rural Development and Panchayats, seeks to take people’s views on free power, Aam Aadmi Clinics, pensions and free bus travel for women.The enumerators are being asked to first record basic household details, including the number of hearths (chulhas), GPS location of the house, and the condition of the dwelling unit.They will note the name of the household head, gender of family members, date of birth and marital status, followed by the relationship of each member with the head.The survey will capture whether any member has gone abroad for work or studies, the quantum of outstanding loan and its purpose.It will also cover access to government welfare schemes such as free power, Tirth Yatra plan, pension for the elderly, and universal health cover like the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat scheme.Under the special module on drug abuse, enumerators have been told to ask if any family member suffers from substance dependence, the duration of addiction, whether they have visited a de-addiction centre and the distance to the nearest rehabilitation facility.The questionnaire will also record the respondent’s perception of the government’s campaign against the drug abuse.On the social front, the survey probes caste-based discrimination in access to public services — temples, schools, clinics and water sources — and whether any family member faced discrimination in the past year.It further records the main source of news, most-used social media platform, educational status of members, and employment details along with monthly income.Those surveyed will be asked about power supply, duration of power cuts, drinking water source, toilet facility, frequency of garbage collection and satisfaction with sanitation.
