The process for identifying vulnerability varies in urban areas.\u00a0 This case examines the India\u2019s Socio Economic and Caste Census and its attempt to provide a standardized model to define vulnerability and provide more accessible and equitable public programmes for the poor. In studying the institutions, instruments and outcomes of how poverty is conceptually framed, measured and addressed, this case highlights the challenges that emerge in designing interventions that benefit the urban poor in India.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Case Author<\/strong><br \/>\nCharis is a Senior Associate at IIHS, primarily concerned with research relating to urban poverty, the urban social safety net and the nature of urban political representation.
