Mission Antyodaya
The Annual Survey, a component of the Mission Antyodaya Mission, approved in the Union Budget 2017-18, was launched in October 2017. Initially, the survey was conducted only in selected Gram Panchayats but in subsequent years it was extended to all Gram Panchayats across the country. Although the number of indicators was initially limited, they were expanded in the 2019 survey and new additions were introduced in 2020. Kudumbasree was entrusted for data collection in the state for the first survey conducted in 2017. However, the government has decided to hand over the task of data collection of the survey to the Department of Economic Statistics from 2018.
Mission Antyodaya 2017
The survey was conducted in 44,125 Gram Panchayats selected at the national level. 195 Grama Panchayats were selected from Kerala for the survey. Data were collected with the help of a questionnaire containing 47 indicators from 7 subject areas. Basic information was collected from all the selected Gram Panchayats and the Gram Panchayats were ranked nationally using the said data.
Mission Antyodaya 2018
In the year 2018, the survey was conducted in 2.2 lakh Gram Panchayats nationwide. This included all the Gram Panchayats in the state. Statistics show that Grama Panchayats in Kerala have performed better than other states at the national level. Marancheri and Alamkode Grama Panchayats in the Perumbadappu block of Malappuram district in Kerala secured 12th rank nationally with a score of 89.
Mission Antyodaya 2019
The questionnaire used for the 2019 survey was different from the 2018 questionnaire. The data collection was done on the basis of 149 indicators from 29 subject areas divided into two parts (Part A and Part B) with a view to the sustainable development of the country.
Mission Antyodaya 2020
Prior to the formulation of the Gram Panchayat Annual Plan for the year 2021-22, the Mission Antyodaya Annual Survey 2020 was conducted by all the Gram Panchayats. The State Government was provided with detailed guidelines on the efforts of all Grama / Block / District Panchayat Institutions to address the development issues and gaps identified in the survey.
The data collected through the Mission Antyodaya Annual Survey has a decisive influence on the development plan formulation of the Gram Panchayats.
The questionnaire selected for the 2019 survey was also used for the 2020 survey. At the same time, if the information is available on 39 indicators related to infrastructure in each village, status pictures of such institutions were geotagged. This is an innovative concept implemented in the 2020 survey.
Although Grama Panchayats are the focal point of the Mission Antyodaya Survey, the data collection was done by considering the Revenue Villages as the ultimate unit, which includes the areas within their geographical boundaries. One or more villages may come in full or in part within the territory of a Grama Panchayat. The information is collected by viewing the part of the villages that are partial as part villages of the gram panchayat. The information of the Gram Panchayats will be available while compiling the information collected at the village level.
