Census 2011 will be the most inclusive headcount, taking special care to count segments of the population that have traditionally returned low data — women, elderly, the disabled and infants. “Inclusion is the focus of this Census,” says C Chandramouli, Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India. So the enumerator will not just ask for details of the male member or the head of the family and assume it is the same for everyone in the household, but ask the same questions of everyone in the house.
Between February 9 and 28, 2.5 million enumerators will fan out across the country to carry out Phase II of the Census or what is called the population enumeration stage. “This is the actual Census, the headcount that will give us the socio-economic demographic profile of the country,” says Chandramouli. This is when every resident of the country will be approached for details of his or her age, religion, literacy status, etc.
