This document discusses planning for a socio-economic survey database. It recommends gathering required information, identifying key objects and their relationships, and the types of data needed for each object. Careful planning of the database design on paper first can save time and money by clarifying the needed data, reports, and appropriate database product before implementation. An effective plan will cover executive summary, implementation steps, hardware/software needs, staffing, training, data flow, chosen database, and responsibilities for building and maintaining the database.

1. Socio-economic
survey

2.  (Sociology) (Economics) -relating to, or involving
both economic and social factors
 Socio -Economic survey is a difficult task and it
requires help from different individuals and
institutions for its success.
 Socio is derived from the word „society‟
 Society is nothing but a group of people organised
culturally as well as systematically.
 The first and for most condition for the
development of a society in its economic condition.

3.  Socio - Economic survey is an important part
of education to know the status of the people
of various society.
 The sole aim of the Socio Economic planning of
our country is to transform the socio -
economic condition of the people living in the
rural areas.
 Since the independence of our country. More
than 45% of the population have settled in
rural areas, where the problem of poverty
unemployment and improper living condition
prevail and have persisted for long these
problems have not attain the adequate
importance in policy made by the government.
 though there is some progress seen in the
economic conditions of the people, but the
progress in the educational field is in a very
deplorable condition.

4.  To bring about the economic development the
transformation of Socio-Economic condition and
control of population growth is necessary.
Hence, it is the need of the hour to analyses the
socio-economic condition of the rural areas and
put forward the suggestions for the steps to be
taken in order to solve the problems prevailing in
the rural areas.
 Aims and objectives :
 The development of area depends on Gio-
Socioeconomic setting of the area. Small units like
a village help us for collecting data of various
socio economic conditions so the study of a local
area is very essential to the students.
The basic aims and objectives of the rural survey

5.  1. To know about the local area, it‟s past and
present and various problems of Socio-Economic
condition.
2. To get acquainted with the past and present

7. History of the village
Location of the village
Population structure of the area
Economic structure of the area
Climatic structure of the area
Vegetation pattern structure of
the area
Educational system structure of
the area

8.  Selection of the Area
 Selection of the Sample :
The sample household were chosen on a random basis and
most importantly the once who‟s members were willing to
co-operate and share the required data with the survey
team.
 Selection of the method :
Various method were applied for the collection of data
from all the survey teams. These methods included –
Random Sampling method, Survey method, questionnaire
method, observation method and interview method.

9.  Data Source :
For the collection of Data there were namely
two sources.
 1) Household & 2) Others.
1. Household : The members of the families and
their family head specifically were the main source
for the collection of data. All the information
regarding cultural system literary status, age
structure and sex ratio, health and hygiene, games
and sports, economic aspects – occupational
structure, domestic production, income, house type
and settlement pattern, transport and
communication were shared by them.
2. Others : Panchayat members, Social workers, &
various reference books were other sources of
consolidating information for the socio economic
survey of the area.
.

10.  Data Processing and Presentation:
 All the data collected through data sheet was
further aggregated into
relevant, tables, diagrams.

11.  Socio- Economic character of the
surveyed household :
Social aspects of the studied families :
a) Cultural System :
b) Literary Status :
The literary status of survey house-hold
was most of the members seem to be
literate on occasional basis. In two three
families mostly the men and women have
studied till IX and X, but a few of them
would not study due to poverty and
negligence.

12.  c) Age Structure & Sex ratio:
The age structure of the families are
varied with adult members from the age
of 18-80 yrs. and those of children from
2-14 yrs. years of age.
 d) health and Hygiene:
The children though were indeed of more
cleanliness polio-drops had been
administered to all and the facility of
health centre was available to them.
The lack of toilet fertility in every
household though is a major area of
concern and needs to be given time
importance and funds to be taken care

13.  In conclusion we can say that a part of field
study “Socio-Economic Survey” is a part and
partial of education system. It is also very
essential and important part of
education, because it helps us to know and
realise the Socio-economic condition of
particular society, the living standard of its
people, their views towards education.
 So the “Socio-Economic Survey” lays a pivot
role in our educational system.

15.  A well-designed database promotes
consistent data entry and retrieval, and
reduces the existence of duplicate data
among the database tables. Relational
database tables work together to ensure
that the correct data is available when you
need it. It‟s a good idea to plan a database
on paper first.
 By planning your database carefully in
advance of making any decisions, you can
often save time, money, and a world of
trouble
 Creating a database plan will help your
organization develop clear ideas about what

16.  A database can be relatively simple and
designed for use by a single person, or
it can be large and complex and
designed, for example, to handle all the
banking transactions for thousands of
clients. In the first case, the database
design may be slightly more than a few
notes on some scratch paper. In the
latter case, the design may be a formal
document hundreds of pages long that
contains every possible detail about the
database.

17. In planning the database, regardless of
its size and complexity, use the
following basic steps:
 Gather information.
 Identify the objects.
 Model the objects.
 Identify the types of information for
each object.
 Identify the relationships between
objects.

18.  the information you want or need to
track in the future
 the reports you need to produce
 which database product most closely
matches your needs

19.  Executive Summary
 Implementation Plan
 Hardware/Software Purchase Plan and
Needs
 Staffing Recommendations
 Training Recommendations
 Data/Information Flow (where/how data
moves through your agency)
 Which database you will use
 Who will build the database
 Who will maintain the database
