SVEEP Rohtas
Overview - India, the largest democracy, has the legal age of 18 years and above for casting vote for assembly and parliamentary elections. Election Commission of India (ECI) has been consistently putting indomitable effort to cover the entire citizenry of India which is eligible for registration in the electoral roll and aims to make them participate in the voting process. To a greater extent, these efforts have produced results but a lot of efforts still needs to be done in this direction. Pressing issues like lesser understanding of importance of electoral process, lesser presence of women, working men, youth at polling stations, accessibility of vulnerable sections of the society to polling booths and intimidated voters still pose challenges for the system. To address all such issues, Election Commission of India has unfolded the strategy of SVEEP.
SVEEP stands for Systematic Voters’ Education for Electoral Participation, a process of concerted interventions to add people in electoral process by sensitization and facilitation and ascertains increased participation of eligible age group people across all the sections, gender, caste, creed, religion of society. When electoral situation described in this report is seen, it is clear that certain polling booths have shown dismal turnout and poor participation of women and youth voters. In such context, the significance of SVEEP becomes relevant. SVEEP focuses on targeted approach to bridge the gaps of enrolment turnout at Polling booths, urban apathy and to wipe out the fear and favor factors by spreading awareness and confidence building measures. Other than ensuring free and fair polling in the district, SVEEP will focus on few areas to get the impressive outputs in terms of high level of awareness and huge turnout at polling stations.

Voter turnout ratio (VTR) for Assembly election 2015 was 54.06%, whereas it was 49.69% for Parliamentary election 2019. It can be seen that the VTR has increased by more than the 3 percentage points which is significant. VTR for female was 46.45% in 2019 election and for male it was 52.99%. VTR for female was 52.83% in 2015 election and for male it was 55.12%. female voters are leading the male voters in terms of electoral participation. Because of reverse migration, VTR in male may increase leading to overall increase in VTR.
Strategies to increase VTR: • Mock polls and EVM familiarization campaign • Pledge campaign, Essay, Slogan writing and Speech competition. • Posters at all government offices, hospitals, private hospitals, schools, colleges, Banks, PACS, Milk federations, Bank ATMs. • Stamping initiatives at all government documents, gas cylinders, ATMs, Hospital slips, etc. • Messages through road and wall painting. • Awareness through local radio channels/local cable channels/picture halls • Appeal by DEO and SVEEP nodal Officer in electronic & print media, newspaper. • Help Desk Services, Awareness among future voters for making them change agents, nomination of SVEEP Ambassador • Sector officers and police officers to jointly visit and interact with the electoral and try to solve any problem regarding election process. • Phone numbers of BDOs/SHOs and District helpline number to be permanently displayed at designated places. • Discussions and awareness programme and VVPAT-EVM demonstrations by Anganwadi workers and SHG member at

▪ Similarly, ANMs from Health department can also help in this regard ▪ Teachers of schools, especially Govt school teachers have great influence on villagers. Hence, they can motivate villagers about the significance of voting. Parents of children enrolled can also be contacted by teachers.
▪ JEEVIKAs in volved and MDM would sensitize local people and several women-headed SHGs are also running which can support in spreading voter registration awareness.
▪ Health department would display banners and posters in district hospitals and PHCs.

OTHER TOOLS : Some other tools may also be used to sensitize people to celebrate this “MAHA PARV”
Media Planning
✓ Prioritizing local and cultural aspects would be the crux of media planning. Some of the steps that would be followed are:
✓ In remote and Mahadalit pockets, wall writings and paintings would be the mode of awareness campaign.
✓ Since audio-visuals have long lasting effect, slide shows would be conducted in remote pockets.
✓ Where turnout was lower during last elections, it would be tried to organize few skirts by using “kala jathas” with the support of local organizations. ✓ Haat bazaar will be focused for the intensive awareness campaigns.
Involvement of NSS/NCC
✓ Their role would be to spread message through one-to-one interaction or through banner and posters. The network of NSS would be used to add and
motivate young voters.
✓ The cooperation of NCC and NSS would be taken in the campaign. This is the reason that coordinators from these bodies have been involved in the SVEEP committee.
Media- Print & Electronic
✓ National and Local dailies like Dainik jagran , Hindustan , Dainik Bhaskar, etc. have good circulation in the district. The district would avail the space in well-circulated dailies in the form of appeals and election-related information. Similarly, pamphlets and leaflets would also be circulated, especially for urban voters, through the newspaper hawkers.
SVEEP S Rohtas
✓ Hoardings and banners will also be placed at public places like Bus terminus, Petrol pumps, LPG counters, RTO offices, Banks etc. Posters on buses and auto rickshaws would be used. Private organizations and corporate/PSU bodies would be motivated to support.
✓ Electronic media is the strongest source for information dissemination. Its quick effect and reach in the distant areas can be of great help. The district would use channels and local city cable network to create awareness by flashing appeals, slogans and jingles.
✓ A face book page Named “SVEEP ROHTAS” in Rohtas" under the SVEEP plan 2020” has been created and people are open to comments and suggestions.
✓ Use of audio-visuals at remote villages will be ensured so that the contents are easily explicable and effective.
✓ Also, we can reach to the people through Unanayan & App based Orientation under Kaushal Vikash Mission.
Road shows: ✓ Each block will host road shows to raise the confidence and awareness among people, especially young voters. Road shows would be organized by youths with the support of other organizations Marathon ✓ To raise awareness among voters marathon will be organized at district and block level. All the sprinters will carry the message to exercise the voting rights.
Signature campaign. . MTV (Message through vehicles)
✓ Auto rickshaws and buses will carry the posters depicting importance of voting in the democracy throughout the electoral processes. Air Balloons
✓ Air balloons carrying different catchphrase and graphics will be used to increase the visibility of the message of electors participation in the election.
SVEEP S Rohtas
Pledge to Vote
✓ “Pledge to vote" campaign is another plan of district. The senior secondary and Higher Senior secondary students of different schools will get the Pledge to vote form filled from their parents to ensure that they reach polling booth to cast their vote.
News -PRO
✓ Public relation officer will be coordinating with different media houses in the district so that message of district administration regarding participation in voting & its importance can be highlighted continuously in the local magazines and news papers. Meeting with stakeholders:-
Association of a particular fraternity has strong hold in its community and therefore, it would be useful in spreading the electoral awareness in the district with the support such associations and other private bodies. This is the reason, district administration would organize meeting with Bank managers, Petrol pump owners, Transporters, Cable Operators, Presidents/Chairman of various organizations, JEEVIKA groups and above all political parties would be contacted to improve the awareness among people of the district. Some of the major associations in the district are listedbelow: • Printing pressAssociation • Petrol Pump owners • Transport Association • Bar Association • Doctors’ community • Chamber of Commerce
