Is bottled or packaged water one of your primary sources of drinking water? Is there a connection for LPG or PNG in your kitchen? How many DTH connections or smartphones are in the house? What is the principal cereal consumed by your loved ones? When the stalled 2021 Census finally resumes, these are some of the new questions on which data will be collected. The 2021 Evaluation must be put off because of the Coronavirus pandemic, and a new timetable for the activity is still to be informed. The Census office finally got its own new building, Janganana Bhawan, on Monday, as it celebrates 150 years in business. Home Minister Amit Shah presided over the opening of the new office space. A Treatise on Indian Censuses Since 1981, published earlier this week, was also published by the Census office to commemorate its 150th anniversary.
The publication provides comprehensive information regarding the previous four Census operations. It likewise has a part in arrangements that were being made for the 2021 Statistics, including data that should have been gathered interestingly. The question of whether the family moved because of "natural calamities" is one of the other new ideas. According to the publication, there are six options for religion: Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, and Jain. Write the full name of the religion for other religions, but do not provide a code number,” it states. There have been requests from the ancestral local area to list Sarna as a different religion. Covid intervened just as the house-listing exercise, which is the first part of the Census and takes place in the year prior to the Census, was about to begin on April 1, 2020.
In March 2020, coronavirus cases began to appear in India. On March 24 of that year, a complete lockdown was imposed, putting the Census on hold. The actual population enumeration takes place in February of each Census year after the house-listing exercise. The 2021 Census was also supposed to be done digitally, but later it was decided to collect data using both electronic and traditional paper forms. Mritunjay Kumar Narayan, the Registrar General of India and Census Commissioner, wrote the publication. It was decided to produce a similar compendium on the Censuses performed during the previous 50 years as the monographs had been published "on the eve of completion of conducting the 150th Census in India and the 75th anniversary of the country's independence, he added.
