There are about 68 lacks families surveyed in rural Gujarat. Total 19 parameters were captured which indicate the social and economic status of each family. Out of these 13 parameters are used to generate score of each family as per the guidelines of Government of India. Each parameter can have score ranging from 0 to 4. Thus each family gets his score out of 52. Various State and District wise reports indicating number of family at each score were prepared and submitted to department for further use.
