The survey, launched on November 6th, 2024, involved over 100,000 employees who collected data from 1.16 crore families. While 96% of the population was covered, some households were missed due to various reasons, including participant reluctance.

He highlighted the survey as another fulfilled government promise. The survey has garnered attention from other states, with many praising the initiative. The meeting reviewing the survey included several ministers and the Chief Secretary.
