1.1 INTRODUCTION:
Begusarai occupies a central position in Bihar and is one of the thirty-eight districts of
Bihar state, and Begusarai town is the Administrative Headquarters of this district.
The district lies on the northern bank of river Ganga. In 1870, it was established as a
sub-division of the Munger district. It was given a district in 1972. It was named after
"Begu" a man of this district who used to look after "Sarai" an old and small market. It
is the birthplace of famous Hindi poet Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar.
1.2 LOCATION OF THE DISTRICT:
Begusarai district is located in the middle Ganga plain. The district is located between
25º 15' and 25º 45' North latitude and 85º45' & 86.36’ East longitude at a mean height
of 51.81 Mt. from sea level with an area of 1,87,967 Hectares. It is bounded in the
North by the Samastipur District, in the East by Khagaria & Munger District in the
south by Lakhisarai district and in the west by Patna district.

1.3 HISTORY & CULTURAL BACKGROUND:
Begusarai has a very ancient, glorious and colourful history. Ancient Buddha
literature recognizes it as "Anguttarap". Scientific survey of the historical places of this
district has not been possible as yet despite the limited continual efforts. From time to
time there have been efforts for historical linkages on the basis of scattered materials
at places. Ancient historical linkages have been established on the basis of coins, stone
made idols, toys, etc. found in Naulagarh, Jaimanglagarh, Veerpur, Singhaul,
Masuriadih, etc.
Found records, coins, idols, etc. prove the regime of the Pallavas. Writings on the palm
leaves received from Munger bear the testimony of the regimes of Dhramapal and
Devapal of the Pallava Empire. In the wake of the downfall of the Pallavas, there
started a battle between the Karnat of Mithila and the Sen of Bengal.
Consequently, the Sen Rulers occupied the empires from Begusarai to Purnia. In the
wall of the mosque situated at Noorpur in this district engraved script amplification
its creation by Meeran Ali, son of Meerzafar. Different historical findings have been
approved that Begusarai was a part and parcel of the Pal Dynasty which expanded up
to Varanasi. One cannot help mentioning the remarks made by the Chinese traveller
Huien Tsang who visited Begusarai in the first half of the 7th century: "cultivation has
been a common feature here and the land is fertile. The area is replete with flora and
fauna. The climate is moderate and the people are simple and honest.
Social and cultural activities of Begusarai provide an ample opportunity for a deep
thought in order to establish a relationship between education and society. History
has given an abundance of the blinding and contradictions of thought and
circumstances to cope with. All these factors have given birth to legends, some living
legends and so many important aspects of life.
The unearthed account of the old history of Munger covers mainly the present
Begusarai district. All the ancient remains and inscriptions have been discovered
south of the Ganga and some in northwest, namely in Jaimanglagarh (Begusarai).
Description of culture of old district of Munger in contemporary literature is found
both in the writings of Bengali and English writers. There is a description of Begusarai
in these writings.

SVEEP PLAN
SECTION - IX
112
OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ELECTION OFFICER,
BEGUSARAI
SVEEP PLANAssembly Election 2015
113
9.1. Background :
The district is politically sensitive. But elections have been peaceful since the use of meticulous planning by the administration.
A lot of efforts have gone into improving the health of the electoral roll over the last six months. PS-wise and AC-wise de-duplication exercises have been effectively done & efforts have been made to make electoral roll more inclusive. The photo roll coverage and EPIC in the district is 100% ..
The voter turnouts have been 60.68 % in the previous Lok Sabha Election. The big challenge before the district election team is to make those 40% of electors who have not been participating in the festival of democracy, to exercise their franchise. We are hopeful that the SVEEP campaign would lead to greater participation of electors.
For this the District Administration is taking pro-active steps in educating the people to get them enrolled and exercise their franchise in a free manner, unhindered by any undue or extraneous influence and contribute towards making the Indian democratic system more participatory, more representative and more responsible.
In conformity to the Election Commission of India (ECI) giving highest priority to the healthy maintenance of electoral roll and reiteration has reiterated that the roll should be free from errors, defects and multiple entries, this year the motto for NVD was ‘Easy Registration Easy Correction’ implying that the IMF–Information, Motivation and Facilities for citizens should be increased to make registration, correction etc. In the entries a hassle free experience for them. At the same time NERPAP has been implement to purify and authenticate the electoral roll with the help of Aadhaar number.
9.2. NERPAP:
In order to achieve the objective of a totally error- free and authenticated electoral roll, free from duplicates and errors the Election Commission of India has launched an ambitious programme called as NERPAP –National Electoral Roll Purification and Authentication Programme.
As ECI through its letter has emphasized that the success of the programme will depend on effective SVEEP campaign, therefore a 360 degree publicity campaign has to be carried on with full sincerity so that the electors could be provided the information related to the program’s objective. It is to be noted that proper information to the electors is quintessential for the success of this program which lays emphasis on feeding of Aadhaar Numbers by the electors themselves and also aim at making the voters aware about the undesirability of having their names at more than one places so that they may volunteer to get it redressed.
114
9.3. SVEEP focus for NERPAP -
The major focus are as under :
• Feeding of Aadhaar Number by the people themselves through the facilities given on National Voter Service Portal (NVSP), SMS, toll free call centre services 1950, android application etc.
• Providing the Aadhaar Number, Mobile no, E-mail ID (where available) to the election officials.
• Knowledge of the provisions under the following articles of Representation of Peoples Act 1950: (a) Section17- No person shall be entitled to be registered in the electoral roll
for more than one constituency.
(b) Section18- No person shall be entitled to be registered in the electoral roll for any constituency more than one.
(c) Section20- Provision of ordinary residence.
(d) Section 31- If any person makes false declaration in connection with the preparation, revision or correction of electoral roll or in inclusion or exclusion of any entry in electoral roll, is punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year or with fine or with both.
• Voluntary surrender of duplicate names by the electors themselves.
• Online facilities for Registration, correction, deletion in the electoral roll–which now includes the facility of document uploading as well.
• The use of search facility to check the existence of one’s name in the electoral roll, correctness of the details, name of polling station etc.
• The district wide special camp was organized on every polling station on 12-04-2015. This camp was very successful in AC No. 146-Begusarai. Other ACs did not perform according to the expectation. So, during this revision period, collection of more and more Aadhaar number is also an important task given to BLOs.
