Census of India 2011: Some Highlights

The Indian census is a remarkable administrative feat. Census 2011 was the largest such exercise in the world. Our census history goes back to 1872 when although a census was conducted, it is not regarded as a regular census as it was not conducted at the same time. Since 1881 India has conducted decennial censuses without any interruption. We should be proud of our census. China conducted a census in 2010 but in terms of scope, coverage and comprehensiveness our census questionnaires go much beyond a headcount. Granted, China's headcount is higher than ours in 2011 but there the ball stops. We have numerous tables on the demographic, social and economic life of the people in this country of great demographic diversity. The first step in the 2011 census was conducting houselisting in 2010 in every village, town and city in India. Along with it a Housing census was also conducted. The questionnaire had as many as 35 questions and collected valuable data. The enumeration of households took place from February 9 to 28, 2011 and the provisional results were declared towards the end of March 2011. In fact a printed monograph running into 189 pages was available for the general reader, apart from the website.

Paper 1 of Census 2011 on Provisional Population Totals was released by Dr. C. Chandramouli, Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India. In this brief article, I shall give some highlights. But before I do so, I would like to make a comment on the format of data presentation. Usually, all the 35 states are put in an alphabetical order and so also the Union Territories (UTs). In an earlier case, the states and UTs were presented as per geographical regions. This again was not user-friendly.
