(xi) BACKGROUND NOTE

BACKGROUND NOTE

PREPA.RATIONS FOR CENSUS OF INDIA-2001

Population Census is a great national task conducted in every ten years. In India the year 1872 marked the beginning of modern Census taking when it was conducted at different points of time in different parts of the country. From 1881 onwards, however, a complete and synchronous Census was held. The present Census can rightly be called the Millennium Census, because of it being the first in the new millennium. Census of India 2001 is the 14th decennial Census in the unbroken series of Census taking in our country and the 6th after independence. In Andaman and Nicobar Islands Census was conducted first in 1901 and as such 2001 Census is the 11 th decennial Census in this Union Territory.

The preparations for the smooth and fair conduct of Census of India 2001 began in this Union Territory during July, 1996 with the work relating to the collection of jurisdictional changes that occurred within the Union Territory/District, Tehsil and updating the list of villages. This was a laborious and time consuming work and It took nearly 36 months for obtaining the jurisdictional changes and finalising the list of villages and towns. The main reason for this delay is the communication bottleneck prevailing in the far flung islands of this UT. Moreover the Census villages in this UT comprised of revenue villages, forest villages, forest, APWD and bush police camps, encroachment areas falling undef the jurisdiction of revenue and forest authorities and villages of nomadic and semi nomadic tribals who shift their place of habitation frequently. The camps and encroachment habitation which fall within the jurisdiction of revenue villages were included in the same village. However the camps and villages which do not fall under the jurisdiction of revenue villages were listed as separate Census villages forthe purpose of Census taking.

During the present Census operations the total number of villages in this UT were 547 as compared to 537 in 1991. In addition to this 2 revenue villages of this UT have been given the status of Census Town during the 2001 Census.

This time a Special Charge comprising of officials from Andaman Adim Janjati Vikas Samiti was constituted for enumerating primitive tribes viz. Jarawas and Sentinelese.

A remarkable achievement during Census of India 2001 in respect of this UT is the systematic coverage of 'Jarawas', erstwhile a hostile tribe by canvassing all Census questionnaires with the assistance of the officials of Special Charge concerned. However, a small section of Jarawas ofTirur area could not be enumerated due to inaccessible location and non-identification of their habitats. A similar attempt was made for the enumeration of 'Sentinelese' in the North Sentinel Island. The Census team could contact a large number of Sentineiese on the southern seashore of that island.

Like previous Censuses, this time also the houseless population, population of ships & boats were enumerated. The population of the defence areas were enumerated by the Defence Officials under Special Charges.

THE CENSUS HIERARCHY

The Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands comprises of 2 Districts viz. Andamans and Nicobars. The Andamans District consists of 5 tehsils viz. , , , Ferrargunj and Port Blair and Nicobars District consists of 2 tehsils viz. and Nancowry.

3 In exercise of the powers conferred under Census Act, 1948, the Lieutenant Governor (Administrator), Andaman and Nicobar Islands has appOinted the Deputy Commissioners of both the Districts as Principal Census Officers for their respective districts, the Additional District Magistrate of Andamans District and Assistant Commissioner of Nicobars District were appointed as District Census Officers. The Assistant Commissioners, South Andaman & Mayabunder were appointed as Sub Divisional Census Officers. The Assistant Commissioners of Campbellbay and Nancowry were apPOinted as Sub Divisional-cum- Charge Census Officers. The Tehsildars of all the tehsils except tehsil of Nancowry where no Tehsildar was in position and Divisional Forest Officers of Diglipur, Mayabunder, Rangat, Baratang and South Andaman were appointed as Charge Census Officers. Tehsildar, Campbellbay and Block Development Officer, Nancowry were appointed as Additional Charge Census Officers for conducting Census in the areas falling under their jurisdiction. The Secretary, Port Blair Municipal Council and the Assistant Engineer of the Councii were appointed as Town Census Officer & Additional Town Census Officer respectively for conducting Census operations in the Port Blair Statutory Town. For the first time during Census of India 2001, Training Supervisors comprising of Principals, Vice Principals and Senior Teachers of Government Schools were apPOinted under each Charge to assist the Charge Census Officers in imparting training at Charge level and monitoring the field work. The Director of Statistics of Andarnan and Nicobar Administration was made Additional Census Officer. In addition to the above, the Assistant Director of Census Operations (presently Deputy Director) was appointed as Census Officer and delegated powers for apPOinting additional Census Officers as and when required in connection with the Census Operations in tillS UT. The whole territory was divided into 14 rural and 3 urban Charges including 2 Census towns besides 16 Special Charges including special Charge for the enumeration of Jarawas & Sentineles8. At the 2C01 Sensus 813 rural and 238 urban blocks were formed against 782 rural and 128 urban blocks at the 1991 Census for organiSing population enumeration in this territory. The normal size of an enumeration block in urban area is 650 population or 130 households and that in rural area is 750 population or 150 households. One enumerator was required to conduct the Houselisting and Actual Enumeration in one such block whereas 5 to 6 enumeration blocks were taken together to form one supervisory circle. One supervisor was appointed for each such circle to supervise and monitor the enumeration work of the enumerators. At the 1991 Census about 578 en Jmerators and 150 supervisors including reserves were involved in this national task which rose up to 981 enumerators and 249 supervisors at 2001 Census. In case of smaller villages more than one village was put under tr,e Charge of one enumerator wherever it was found feasible to club such villages. Like previous Censuses. thiS time also the bulk of enumerators were drawn from the teachers of education Department. In addit on to thiS. officials such as Patwaris, Revenue Inspectors, Village Level Workers, Anganwadi TeacMrs, Agriculture Demonstrators, Clerical Cadre staff from various Departments of A&N Administration and Rangers. Foresters and Forest Guards from Forest Department were also involved as Enumerators. The Supervisors were drawn from the higher categories of staff such as Head Masters, Senior Teachers, Graduate Teachers, Office Superintendents & Head Clerks etc.

TRAINING

Training is of vital importance for the successful conduct of Census. In order to acquaint the various Census functionaries with the concepts and the process of Census enumeration, special emphasis was given in imparting training to them. The quality of data collected from the field would largely depend on how the enumeration functionaries have been trained. Keeping the above in view, the Census Officers alongwith Training Supervisors were imparted intensive training in two rounds of 2 days each at UT level and enumerators a,ld supervisors in 3 rounds of one day each at Charge level.

4 TRAINING OF CENSUS OFFICERS

The first round UT level training session for ali Census functionaries upto the level of Charge/Additional Charge Census Officer and Training Supervisor was organised at Port Blair which was inaugurated by Dr. Sharat Chauhan, Deputy Commissioner of Andamans District and Sri S.P.Sharma, Consultant to the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India attended as Special Guest. The training was imparted by the Director of Census Operations with the assistance of Sri S.P.Sharma, Consultant. At the training session "Instruction Manual for filling up the household schedule" was gone through word by word alongwith presentation of audio and video supplied by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, I ndia followed by practical exercises, quiz & live questions. During the course of training all efforts were made to impart intensive training to all the Charge Census Officers & Training Supervisors who were to shoulder the responsibility of further imparting training to enumerators and supervisors at their respective Charges.

TRAINING OF ENUMERATORS AND SUPERVISORS

The training of enumerators and supervisors were organised by the respective Charge Census Officers in their respective headquarters. Three round training in both the phases of Houselisting and Actual Enumeration was organised by the Charge Census Officers. The representatives of the Census Directorate were also deputed as Observers to assist the Charge Census Officers and Training Supervisors in imparting intensive training to the field staff. The technical staff of the Census Directorate also made intensive touring during the course of field operations.

CENSUS SCHEDULES AND QUESTIONNAIRE

At the 2001 Census the following two main schedules were canvassed: 1. Houselist Schedule 2. Household Schedule

The Houselist Schedule was canvassed at the first phase of Census of India 2001 i.e. Housenumbering and Houselisting Operations. The Houselisting Operations in this territory was organised during the entire month of April, 2000 except in the non-synchronous areas and areas under Special Charges. In the Non­ synchronous areas and Special Charges Houselisting and Population Enumeration were done simultaneously in February-March 2001.

LAYOUT MAP

In order to cover all the population without any omission or duplication, prior to the commencement of HOLlselisting Operations and Actual Enumeration, each enumerator was required to prepare a layout map tor their respective enumeration block depicting clear boundaries of the block and important topographical features and landmarks in addition to all the buildings vis-a-vis Census houses.

ACTUAL ENUMERATION

The Actual Enumeration began in this territory, except in the non-synchronous areas, on 9th February alongwith rest of India and was completed on 28th February, 2001 with a revisional round from 1 st March to 5th March, 2001. The reference period forthis Census was 00:00 hours of 1st March 2001.

5 The islands which had difficult approach and were not connected with inter island ferry services were declared as non-synchronous areas. The field work in non-synchronous areas were completed well in advance. The enumeration of ship & boat population comprising of staff and crew members at inter island and mainland going vessels who had been away from their place of normal residence and resided in the vessels during the entire period of enumeration were enumerated in the vessel itself and their population was merged with the population of nearest enumeration block of the port. The houseless population was enumerated on the night ot 28th February 2001.

NEW FEATURE OF CENSUS OF INDIA 2001

At the Census of India 2001 the quality of life that the people lead, had come under focus. Apart from this aspect, at the 2001 Census the main emphasis was laid to bring out the economic activity done by the women, children and the aged of the household and categorising them as Main or Marginal workers. The enumerators were specially trained for careful probing while recording working status in the household schedule. The mode of transport used by the people has also been figured in the Census tor the first time. This will indicate how many people have moved on from the ubiquitous bicycle to scooters and cars.

One of the key features of the first Census of the new millennium is canvassing at individual particulars in the household schedule instead of in the traditional individual slip. For the first time, signature or thumb impression of the respondent has also been obtained. Apart from the normal questions that had been asked in the past Censuses, several new ones have been added in the Census of India 2001 such as a question on disability, age at marriage for both males and females, mode of travel to place ot work, distance from residence to the place of work. As the question relating to disability was a sensitive one, the enumerators were specially trained in the task of probing these questions delicately so as not to offend the respondent or any other member of the household. This was done with a view to give due recognition to the disabled persons in the household and for government's planning for the welfare of the disabled.

MEASURES ADOPTED BY THIS DIRECTORATE TO ACCELERATE CENSUS

The UT of Andaman & Nicobar Islands is a group of picturesque islands, out of which 37 are inhabited and others are uninhabited. The only communication facility connecting many of the ihhabited islands are weekly or fortnightly ferry services. Taking into account the communication bottleneck, the census materials were distributed to the difficult to access charges in ample quantity well in advance to avoid delay in imparting training as well as in starting the enumeration work in time.

However, the Charge Officers of such areas did face great difficulties while enumerating the individuals. For this purpose they have even hired small boats or canoes. As desired by the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India the Census Help Lines were established to clarify doubts raised by the Census officials and to attend the complaints from general public. A team of well trained and dedicated officials of this Directorate was engaged for field supervision. They attended the complaints and enumerated the missing individuals on receipt of such complaints.

Prior to 1991 Census, population of age group 0-4 and 0-5 used to be excluded from the purview of calculating literacy rate. Since 1991 Census, population in the age group 0-6 were excluded for calculating literacy rate. However, in the Statement-4 literacy rate for 1981 onwards have been worked out taking into consideration the population aged 7 years and above. Statement-4 Literacy Rate 1951-2001

I CONCLUSION

It will not be judicious to draw any final conclusion on the basis of Provisional Population Totals, which are expected to be revised later on when population data are finalised. Still it is amply explicit that the population of this Union Territory has increased to a certain extent. Similarly the density of population, sex ratio and literacy rates have also increased considerably during the 2001 Census.
