Confidence building measures will be taken up through Sector Officers and Police Officers’ joint visit to each lowest VTR polling stations addressing their specific local concerns. Door to door visits by BAGs, Jeevika SHG members, AWWs, Vikas Mitra, Tola sevak, Talimi Markaz along with other ground level functionaries for educating about importance of each and every vote and their role in forming meaningful government. Chunav Pathshala and Chunav Chaupal for engagement of each and every voter KAP Survey Analysis Based on KAP (Knowledge Aptitude & Practices) end line survey report it is essential to focus on identified areas and target groups for SVEEP activities through appropriate multimedia approach. This survey helps us to adopt appropriate media to propagate awareness among voters which have effective impact on electors. This helps us to formulate our SVEEP strategy.

Following Points are clear from the Recommendations and Conclusions of KAP Survey Report :- ✓ More than 73 % of the people surveyed got information from TV, while only 44 % from loud speaker, Prabhat Pheri and 43.9 from Posters or hoarding. ✓ 49.3 % of the people surveyed are not aware about VVPAT. ✓ Only 86.4 % of the people surveyed are aware about minimum age of registration. ✓ 70.7 % of the people surveyed donot know about qualifying date for registration as a voter and 90.1 % of the people surveyed even do not know about National Voters Day. ✓ 55.8 % of the people surveyed are not aware about NOTA. According to this survey most effective medium for electoral awareness is door to door contact by BLOs. Hence there is a need to rejuvenate Booth level Awareness Groups (BAG), so that proper door to door voters awareness programme to be run with all Covid-19 related precautionary measures in place to be taken. SVEEP Strategy:- ➢ Only few people are aware about Form 7 and Form 8, so there is need to increase awareness about these. ➢ Approx 62% people do not read newspapers, therefore we need to focus beyond print media. ➢ More than 50% people watch TV once a week, therefore electronic media is effective for dissemination of information. ➢ Only few people are aware about the significance of National Voters Day. There is need to make people aware, specially the youth regarding NVD. ➢ VVPAT awareness is very low, its functionality needs to be demonstrated to public through multimedia campaign, hands on demonstration and Jagrukta Raths. ➢ 31.4% people use internet so SVEEP activities need to be promoted on various social media platforms. ➢ Most effective way of undertaking SVEEP is through door to door visit by BLOs, conducting special enrollment drives and timely distribution of Photo voter slips and informing the voters about the poll day and arrangements. Challenges in view of Covid-19 pandemic and way ahead

In view of the COVID-19 pandemic use of mask and maintaining social distancing is a must for each and every SVEEP activity. The ECI general guidelines needs to be followed. Focus on those activities and media which do not need public gathering:-Use of TV, Local cable, loud speakers, poster, hoardings, stickers, various social media platforms and door to door campaign. Extensive use of social media platforms like facebook, twitter, instagram, whatsapp etc. Maximum door to door outreach through BAGs, AWWs, Jeevika, Vikas Mitra and all others ground level partner functionaries. Targeted Intervention Identification of under privileged and lesser participative section in the poll process. Female Participation Various traditional socio economic cultural factors are still present which are responsible for comparativelylower female voter registration. ❖AC wise Gender Ratio Gap and Additional femaleform 6 required to achieve the district population gender ratio (921):

DISTRICT TOTAL 818 115 77 1228 Strategy

To bring female registration gender ratio at par with the district population gender ratio female need to be educated regarding value of their vote.

Women functionaries of Jeevika associated with 28275 SHGs and 3.38 Lakhs families in the district will play vital role in spreading awareness among females through one –to – one contact and communication. Other functionaries of AWWs, ASHA etc will also help in this one –to –one contact programme with female population. Youth Participation

Studies and pursuit for better career opportunity attract them to move outside. Various social-cultural barriers for young female voters are also responsible for comparatively lower voter registration and lower voting parentage among young voters. AC wise No. of Electors with Age Cohort

-4 Analysis and Strategy

It is apparent that VTR percentage in polling stations of municipal corporation Biharsharif is lower than the concerned AC’s VTR percentage. In rest smaller local urban bodies VTR in urban PS is more than the AC’s VTR. Urban apathy is the reason for low VTR in larger local urban bodies poling stations.

Focussed campaign for voters of municipal corporation Biharsharif is needed. Door to door campaign through Tax Collectors, Ward Jamadars and other functionaries of the municipal bodies along with other organizations like Chamber of Commerce, IMA, Rotary Club, Lions Club, Inner Wheel Clubs etc will be done to overcome the urban apathy.

It is apparent that 0.72% of total electors fall under PwD category. PS wise analysis of PwD with locomotive disability shows that across all ACs there are 165 PS with more than 10 PwD voters of this category.

To enhance participation of PwD voters they need to be motivated for their role in electoral process. They need to be informed about Assured Minimum Facilities being provided at the Polling Stations for “Accessible Election”.

For sustained awareness among PwD voters Dr. Sudarshan Kumar has been named as District Icon PwD. With his help many online awareness sessions have been held for PwDs. Many more such sessions through online platforms have been planned.

For their movement for voting wheel chair facilities will also be provided along with deputation of volunteers. Multimedia campaign strategy

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic scenario a multimedia campaign strategy is needed with extensive use of electronic media (audio & visual), social media and print media platforms. ❖ Media ❖ electronic media (audio & visual), social media and print media platforms ❖ Various online platforms ❖ Mobile network ❖ Door to door campaign ❖ Limited small group activities ❖ SVEEP Partners ❖Social Welfare Department –>AWWs, Social Security Pensioners, Vikas Mitra etc ❖Education Department –> Colleges and Schools, Teachers, Campus Ambassadors etc. ❖Jeevika – > 3.38 Lakhs families associated with 28275 SHGs under umbrella of Jeevika ❖Health Department –> To ensure COVID-19 safety measures ❖Other Departments –> Banks, Post Office, Railways, Transport, Food and Civil Supply etc. ❖Organizations –> IMA, Chamber of Commerce, Nehru Yuva Kendra, Rotary Club, Lions Club, Sport Associations etc. ❖District Icons –> District Icon (SVEEP) and District Icon PwD Calendar of planned SVEEP Activities
