PREFACE~ 1 .".
The Indian Census with its rich tradition of over a century is, to borrow from Abraham Lincon;s definition on democracy, the most authentic account of the people, for the people and by the people. In the Enumeration Operations which constitute, in their own way, probably the largest administrative exercise of the world the people living in the remotest corners of the country cooperate to supply details and information about themselves and their families to the Enumerators most of whom are chosen from among the government officials placed, closest to the people. The present volume seeks to summarise the experiences and the trials and tribulations which the officers and the staff of the Directorate as well as District Administration had to undergo in organising the field operations of 1981 Census in both the phases-Houselisting and Enumeration. The volume will, hopefully fulfil the needs of those officers who would wish to look back and derive usefully from the organisational details of 1981 Census before drawing up the administrative arrangements for the conduct of 1991 Census. Although an attempt has been made to present an objective picture of the 1981 Census in Rajasthan State, many suggestions based on our view and experience of the Census mayor may not be found useful for adoption or implementation in the changed circumstances of the next Census. Nevertheless the report will be found interesting and useful in many ways by the officers at the headquarters as well as in the field, who will be called upon to perform their duties as Census Officers in various capacities. The circulars received from the Registrar General, India, State Government orders and circulars together with those issued by' the Directorate have been listed separately besides being referred to at appropriate places in various chapters. A brief summary of suggestions made in different chapters has also been added so as to focus attention on some of the problems which are likely to arise in the next Census.

The suitable air-conditioning system. It is, therefore, challenge becomes an Herculean task because the suggested that the system installed for 1981 Census Directorate of Census Operations has to operate should be allowed to function on a continued basis through the state administrative hierarchy from until the data for 1991 Census are made available for Secretariat down to the level of Enumerator without computerisation.

Dated the 21 st July,79. To, The Registrar General India, 2/A Mansingh Road, Kotah House Annexe, NEW DELHI - 110011. Sub : Census 1981 - Comments Oli second pre-test. Sir, Kindly refer to your D.O. letter No. 9/26/79-CD (CEN) of 30th June, 1979. We have completed our second pre-test in the selected areas and our comments on this Study are as under: Organisational Side: The State Government extended all co-operation in this work and there was no difficulty in orga nising the study. Requisite number of officials were made available to Us for being appointed as Enu merators. As we had appointed Patwaris/School-teachers as enumerators and most of them were posted at those very places which were selected for the second pre-test, these persons had certain basic knowledge about the locality and respondents and then ha ... e fared better than others who were called up for the work from the near by areas. We had taken the 1971 Census blocks as our units. Some of them were found to be too large to be covered during the stipulated time by our enumerators. Although the whole day was available to them on account of vacation it was so hot during the day that work actually took place only in the' morning and evening. Moreover, the work load, too, was very heavy as the work relating to house numbering, houselisting, preparation of notional map and abridged houselist were also got done during this period besides the filling-in of individual slip and household schedule. The only handicap came in the form of the late supply of Instructions Books. We could impart only one training, which we consider insufficient for this type of work. Moreover, the enumerators also could not get much time to go through the Instructions Book thoroughly. Since in the sample areas both the universal and sample slips will be canvassed, we should be very careful in the selection of the enumerators for such blocks. No clear cut idea of difficulties could be made out at the time of second pre-test because it was carried out under favourable conditions a~ the whole work was supervised by the Directorate staff and they were available in the field during the entire enumeration period. Therefore we can not rule out some field problems at the time of actual enumeration. It is, therefore. suggested that smaller blocks should be formed in samph: areas to provide for increa,ed efficiency and quality work. Population of such blocks should comprise approximately 400 persons in urban areas and 500 person~ in rural areas. In general area~ where only universal slip will be canvassed a block may be formed covering a popUlation upto 500 to 600 persons in urban areas and upto approximately 700 persons in rural areas. On a careful consideration it does not appear to be desirable to give higher honorarium for canvassing sample ilip and slightly lower for canvassing universal slip as this mi&ht create some administrative problems and heartburnina among the enumerators. tn the previous Census it was felt that honorarium paid' to the enumerators w:u not at all commensurat. to the services rendered by them and the officials detailed for Census Operations worked rather reluc~ tantly. It is, therefore, suggested that honorarium, as detailed below should be paid to ensure greater accu racy and loyality of the enumerator : (i) Houselisting Rs.50.00 (ii) Main Operations Rs.75.00 House list: Col-4 : The following sentence may be added in the heading of Col. 4 "If vacant, record reasons in Col. 12" , CoJ-8 : This column should be divided into three separate columns one each marked for totally blind, totally dumb and totally crippled respectively. This will eliminate the chances or errors in reporting the information. It will also be self explanatory and the enumerators will quickly add-up the figures in each case. General: (1) There should be only 10 lines on each side of the form to facilitate counting. (2) Separate line for "TOTALS" should be provided at the bottom of each side. 1. A separate line for "TOTALS" in bold type should be provided on the bottom of the form. 2. It is proposed that a Supervisor's and Charge Officer's Houselist Abstract may also be introduced on the lines of Enumerator's Abstract. This can help the orpnisation to . release the provisional Houselist data quickly. Abridged H t>uselist : Section. 2 : In this section the population of the block is intended to be recorded by the enumerator on the basis of Census enumeration. It would be better if the population on the basis of houselist operation is also recorded. This will help-alert the enumerator in case there is any bi, variation in the population at the time of main enumeration as compared to house listing operation and will enable him to check up if any small pocket ~had been left out from operation. In such cases we can also ask him to record the reasons, H aua~1to1d Schedule .: I. During the past few months several !lcholars have been asking (or the data on back ward classes. There was also a demand for such data from the State Government. The Centr8.1 Government has also appointed a commission to look into the affairs of back ward classes. Though it may not be possible to include this question in the Individual slip, it may not be so difficult to in~ert it in the Household SchedUle and thereby we can ascertain whether the head of the household is a member of backward class or not and if the reply is in the affirmative, we can get the Uil.me of the caste recorded against this ques .. tion. 2, Inclusion of this additional question will give us a fairly accurate idea or the strength of the individual backward classes in the country at all level~. 89. 11ldiv;du~1 Slip (Universal) : Q.ll : Illiterate/Lilerate---As per instructions all children below 5 are to be recleoned C1.S illi - terate. A point has been raised whether a child aged 4 years going to sehool would be treated as a full time student in Q. N0. 14 A. It should be made clear in the instructions. Q-12 : It is suggested th;,t the codes for this question may be revised as under :- Not attending (0). attending school (1) and attending college (2). Economic Que.stion.s : (1) M()re ~-race should be provided to record the reply to Question lS(b). (2) It is suggested th"t children below 5 should invariably be treated as non-workers under the category "D~pencten!'·. (3) The sequence of the sub-question of lSA and 15B is suggested to be revised as under :- 1. Name and place of establishment. 2. Nature of industry, Trade or Service. 3. Description of work. 4. Class of worker. Sample Slip .' Birth p/a("c: ff) the r,t~t c'~n5uses residential status (rural or urban) of the birth place wa~ required to be reckoned with reference to the date <'fthe event. But in 1981 it is proposed to ascertain the residential st'.tus by current status of the pl?,ce of birth. This has $o)ved the problems (If both the enumerators and respondents. Similar approach should be adopttd for recording the name of the District and State/Country in which the birth place of the respondent fgJIs. This is more important because there might have been several jurisdiction ch?nges on account of reorganisation cf States and Inter State and Inter District transfers. This point should be made clear in the instruction book-otherwi~e the enumerators will have their own interpret::>tions on thi~ point. This will also obviate training constraints 2.5 well. Q-2 : Last Residence : The comments made under "birth piace' would apply mutatis mutandiJ' in this case also. Q-5 : The following line may be added in the Instruction book at the bottom of para 191. For all flYer "This question will not be put to the women below 10 years of age even th0ugh they Married W""'etI may be married." Since such women have to be treated as unmarried at the time of tabulation, we can re duce the wcrk load at the time of editing by adding these instructions. Q-6 : For currently married women only-Any child born alive during last one year? The comments made under Q.S ",ould apply mutatis mutandis in this case also. Since there is a lot of blank sp<'.ce in the Individual Slip (Sample) the folkwipg pcir,t may be worth consideration: More space could be provided in between the questions and the whole matter can be 50 lipread as to COver the blank space. This will give more clarity to the slip. JUndly acknowledge receipt. Yours faithfully, Sd/- O.C. Srivastava) Director, Census Operations, Rajasthan, Jaipur.

No. 1/84/79~Ad.I Government of India Office of the Registrar General, India. 2/A, Mansingh Road, New Delhi-110 OIl, Dated the 26th June, 1979 To, The Chief Secretaries to the Government of all States and Union Territories (c;xcept Delhi and Lakshadweep) Administrator, Lakshadweep, Kavaratti. Subject :-Clerical assistance to District, Sub-divisional, Tehsil/Taluk/Thana establishm.~nts, and Urban Local Bodies, in connection with the 1981 Census work. Sir, I have the honour to say that the preliminary work to organise the national cen3U') of popUlation, during February-March, 1981 , has commenced in full swing in all the States and Union Territories. As a prelude to the Census count, houselisting operations in which a houselist and, along with it an economic census schedule is proposed to be canvassed, will be carried out in 1980, about a year in advance of the actual population' count in 1981. Traditionally; this country has had the privilege of conducting these operati611s with the voluntary and close cooperation of the State/U.T. authorities since the latter are deeply interested in taking the Census in their respective territories. The State Government/U.T. administration will be declaring the· Deputy Commissioners/Collectors, Sub-divisional Oncers, and Tehsildars, etc., as the Cen3u5 Olicers in their cctSpective jurisdictions. These officers will be responsible for the conduct of the Census Operations in their respective areas under the guidance of the Direct~r of Census O~rations ill the State/U.T. The Census Officers will be required to attend to the delimitation of Census Charges, selection and trainiag of Censns enumeration agelley, introduction of the system of permanent housenumbering, Census· Publicity, Receipt aM Despatch of literature on Census, and the actual Census count, in consultation with the Director' of Census Operations. 2. As the State/U. T. officials and their offices, especially those who will be associated with the Census Opera tions in their areas, are heavily worked, it has been, considered necessary to provide some clerical assistance to District/Sub-Divisional/Tehsil establishments, and Urban Looat Bodies, such as Corporation, Municipal Bodies, eto., so as to belp them in carrying out the Census Operations in the oorrect way" an.d according to the time schedule. I may add in this connection that this pattern of providing clerical aSsl~ttlOCe to these C$ta btQbmonts was first introduced in the 1961 Census and conti~ued in the 1971 CerrSlls. It is conridered MClssary to continue this practice ia the 1981 Census as well. 3. The scale of clerical assistance provided to the District etc., establishments for 1971 Census Operations in all State!U. T. was as follows: District Census Offices is. States/U.Ts. 1 Upper Division Clerk. 1 Lower Divis.ion Clerk. I Peon. Sub-divisional Offices in Bihar and Assam, 1 Upper Division Clerk. Sub-divisional Offices in Orissa and West Bengal 1 Lower Division Clerk. Tehsil/Taluk/Thana Offices in other States/U.Ts. 1 Lower Division Clerk. 98 Local Bodies : (i) Cities with between 1 and 2 lakhs of population Upper Division Clerk. (ii) Cities with over 2 lakhs of population . 1 Upper Division Clerk. 1 Lower Division Clerk for every additional 1 lakh of population. The aforesaid scale of assistance will be available for the 1981 Census also from 1-8-1979 upto the end of May 1981, except in the cases of cities of Greater Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. For the metropolitan cities of Greater Bombay and Madras respectively, the arrangement that was followed by the State Government, for the 1971 Census, may be continued for the 1981 Census as well. For the city of Greater Bombay, clerical assistance of the following scale was provided to the Municipal Corporation, at the 1971 Census, keep ing in view that fact that the Bombay Municipal Corporation bore 50% of the total expenditure incurred on the Census of that city :- (i) Section Officers 100 (ii) Instructors 125 (iii) Full time Clerks 60 (iv) Full time labourers 30 For the city of Madras, the following staff were appointed under the Deputy Director of Census Opera tions (for Madras City):- (i) Assistant Revenue Officers 4 (ii) Manager 1 (iii) Steno-Typists 3 (iv) Upper Division Clerks 4 (v) Lower Division Clerk 1 (vi) Typist (vii) Peons 10 J The staff worked under the'administrative controt of the Commission of the Corporation of Madras. They were treated as a part ~f the Corporation staff and were paid the local rates of pay. The Madras Corpora tion incurred the expenditure initially wIiich was reimbursed to them in full by the Census Organisation, later. For the metropolitan city of Calcutta, there will be a separate unit under the Director of Census Operations, West Bengal to look in to the details of the Census Operations in that city, as in 1971 Census. 4. The staff to be appointed against these posts will have to,be treated as a part of the district/sub divisional, etc., establishments ofthe State Go'Vernment/U.T. administration and their pay and allowances will be the same as those of other members of corresponding grades of the respective establishment. That is to say, the required number of posts will be created as additional posts in the district and other establishments, on local scales of pay for the corresponding posts and appointments will be made to these posts by the compe tent authority of the State Government/U.T. administration. The expenditure to be incurred on pay and allowances of this extra staff will be met in full by the Government of India. 5. At the 1971 Census, provision for this expenditure was made in the Census budget in each State/U.T. circle of accounts under the sub-head "B-Enumeration". The Director of Census Operations on his part allocat ed provision under this sub-head to each district officer depending upon the quantum of clerical assistance provided to that district according to the scale of assistance mentioned in paragraph 3 above. The pay and allowances of the staff were drawn by the district officers concerned and the expenditure debited directly to the Government of India, against the Census budget, under the sub-head "B-Enumeration". The district officers were required to send monthly expenditure figures to the Director of C"usus Operations concerned for effective financial control and for reconciliation of the expenditure figures with tho~ looked by the A.cco~ntant Gene ral in the rest'ective State/U.T. But, on re-examination later, the Accountant General, central revenue informed this office that the pro cedure evolved and followed ~t the 1971 Census did not conform to the accounting procedure to be followed in regard to transactions arising In connection with the agency functions entrusted to State Governments under Article 258 of the Constitution, as Ilaid down in Government of India, Ministry of Finance o. M. No. F. 1(136) B/64 dated 9th January, 1965, the relevant part of which is extracted below: "The- extra cost to the State Governments arising mainly in respect of the additional staff employed or contingent and other expenditure, as in the case of work devolving on the State Governments in connection with the administration of the Census Act, is reimbursable under Article 258(3) of the Constitution. Expenditure in this regard should be provided in accounts of the State Governments under the normal Heads of Accounts. These will be reimbursed in lump sum to the State Governments." . The Minister of Finance, Government of India, and, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, who were consulted by this office, about it, advised that the proce~ure mentioned above was the correct procedure and should be followed in future in such cases of agency functions entrusted to the State Governments under Article 258(3) of the Constitution. Accordingly, it is proposed to follow this procedure in regard to the expenditure to beincurred-on the clerical assistance-to the- Distriet/Sub·DivisionaI/Taluk, etc:, offices, for the 1981 Census. In other words, the expenditure on clerical assistance will be incurred by the State Government/U. T. administration initially, which will be reimbursed to them in full by the Government of India. Incidentally, this was the proce dure' followed at the 1961 Census. In order that the expenditure incurred by the State Government/ u. T. administration during a financial year is reimbursed to them before the close of that financial year' itself, by the Government of India, the expenditure figures as certified by the Accountant General may be communicated to the Director of Census Operations in your State/U.T. in the Month following the month to which the figures relate. The intention is that funds provided for the purpose, by the Government of India, during a particular year, is not allowed to lapse. :6. I am to request thlt olders of the Snte Government /U.T. administration may kindly be issued :_ (i) For the creation of the requisite no. of posts with effect from 1st August, 1979 according to the scale indicated in paragraph 3 above; (ii) Requesting the District/Sub-divisional/TehsilfTaluka or Thana officers, and Urban Local Bodies to post the best available staff for Census work as soon as the posts are created in their respective establishments; (iii) For the provisions of requisite funds in the budgets of the Districts/Sub.divisions/Tehsils cr Taluks 01' Thanas and of the Urban Local Bodies concerned, during the current and subsequent financial years for meeting the expenditure on the clerical assistance to be provided to them for 1981 Census work; and . (iv) For the maintenance of separate accounts in respect of the pay and allowances, etc., of the staff ap pointed against the posts to be created for Census work and for furnishing a monthly consolidated statement of such expenditure for each district and for the State/U.T. as a whOle, duly certified by the Accountant General of your State/U.T. to the Director of Census Operations in your State/ U.T. for arranging reimbursement to the State Government/D.T. Administration. 7. As the 1981 Census work has gained considerable momentum, it will be very much appreciated if orders of the State Government/U.T. administration, as requested in the preceding paragrapb, are issued immediately so as to maintain the pace of progress so far achieved and to make the 1981 Cen~s Operations a :success. 8.
