It is a tradition of the Census Organisation to draft out two reports under the title of 'Administration Report on Enumeration' and 'Administration Report on Tabulation'. These reports are normally drafted out by the Director of Census Operations at the end of each component of work. Such a report proves very helpful for the conduct of future Censusec: and almost becomes a 'Manu~l on Census Operations' which gets automatically revised every ten years. This report on Enumeration gives the full details about the two stages of Cemus work, i.e., the Houselisting Operations and the Enumeration work including the Permanent Housenumbering work which was done in Gujarat State prior to the Houselisting work in 1981 Census. It has been said that the Administration Reports are of extremely limited utility and are meful only to ~hose who are concerned with the conduct of operations. To a certain extent I do not agree with this idea because by my experience of 1981 Census, I have found that the last Administration Report of the Census Operations and all other previous reports proved extremely useful in the conduct of Census Operations as they provide several precedents to the procedures to be adopted at the relevantl time. These reports help consider ably in monitoring the Census work which is nothing but a detailed step to step exercise of the se, eral operations to be conducted through a large number of Census employees. In this report I have tried my best t,o give a true account, of the Census Operations conducted during 1981 and the views which have been expressed on various problems are my own and not of the Organisation and I accept fllll n~sponsibility for th_is r~(')r!.__ I take this opportunity of expressing my deep debt of gratitude to Shri P. Padmanabha, Registrar General, India, for his valuable guidance in the conduct of Census Operations in Gujarat from time to time. It was a great pleasure to work under him. I hope this report will be of some help to the future Censuses. If there are anv omissions or commissions in the report they are entirely mine. I must express here my sincere thanks to Shri J. K. Patel, Deputy Director of Census Operations who gave me the drafts of the several chapters in the report. I also sincerely thank Shri J. A. Harry, Confidential Assistant who took the oral dictation on some of the selected chapters and promptly and accurately typed the vast material of the report within a very short time. Shri R. V. Sanghani, Investigator and Kum. J. R. Megha, Statistical Assistant also deserve my sincere thanks for checking the accuracy of figures, for correcting the typed material and for arranging and compiling all the annexures to the report.

As precedented in the history of Gujarat, I was a'Ssociated with the Census work in the year 1961 as the Deputy Superintendent of Census Operations of a 1.3 Afte~ joining the new post my first worry was Regional Tabulation Office at Rajkot I had no.

both Central and State Governments to write off or the Collectors emphasizing the important points 011 Census reimburse tbi'S amount but this has not been finalised matters which required immediate attention such as (1) till the drafting of this report. I shifted my residence to freezing of the Territorial Boundaries, (2) updating the Ahmadabad in the month of January 1981 when I waS Permanent Housenumbering Scheme in rural and urban allotted accommodation at Ahmadabad in the Smarpan areas, (3) the preparation of the village lists and district flats by the State Government. and talukas, (4) finali~ation of Rural/Urban areas, (5) preparing the lists of enumerators and supervisors who were to. be employed for the fir"t stage of CensU's work conducted in the month of May-June 1980. The Hrst Communications
B. Staff Position ill the Directorate at the Time of 1.4 After joining my po'St as Director of Census Taking Over Operation'S I submitted a d.o. letter No. A.12026/1/79- nco (Guj.) dated 21-7-1979 (Appendix 1) to Shri P. 1.6 After the 1961 Census some staff in the Census Padmanabha, Registrar General, India, New Delhi and Directorate both administrative and technical has been submitted that I was associated with the 1961 Census mnde permanent. I had, therefore, no difficulty in the w0rk under the able stewardship of the then Superin day-ta-day administration of Census work but I found tendent of Census Operation'S Shri R. K. Trivedi. I also that the staff which was existing at that time in July 1979 informed him that as I was to attend the first Census was quite inadequate and all-equipped to cope up with Conference of Directors of Census Operations to be the increased tempo of Census work. A statement of the held at New Delhi in the near future in the month of stat! position as on 17-,7-1979 appears in the subsequent August 1980. I would be meeting him at that time of relevant Chapter IV of this report. There were two the ccnference by which time I was to get a 'hang' of ])~puty Directors of Census Operations and three the future plan of work to be taken up for 1981 Cen'Sus. A,sistant Directors of Census Operations in Group 'A' ~upported by the administrative and technical staff. The administrative and technical office including the SRS Section were accommodated in the Kerawala Building 1.5 After joining my new assignment my imme whereas the other building known as Children Hospital diate task was to study the existing situation in the Building was stocked with 1971 Census records, wooden process of Census Operations and to take the neces'Sary boxes and other furniture. These old records and furni steps for proper implementation of the instructions from ture occupied considerable space of about 3500 sq. ft. the Registrar General, Government of India, New Delhi. and my immediate task was to see that this unused I knew fully well that the success of the Census Opera spaCe is put into effective use at an early date. A refer tions mainly depends on two factors, (1) the coopera ence was also pending in the Directorate wherein the tion from the officers and the subordinate staff of the Registrar General had asked to secure about 1200 sq. ft. office of the Director and (2) by the cooperation from 5pace for the installation of a Direct Data Entry System all the District Collectors, the District Development at Ahmadabad. My predecessor, Deputy Director Officers and the Municipal Commissioners and all their Shri A. W. Mahatme had already floated inqumes subordinate officers involved with this task. With this for acquiring the new space but I found that the rents view in end I wrote a d.o. letter to the Deputy Secretary, which were quoted for private accommodation were General Administration Department, intimating him vc'ry high. I, therefore, decided to utilise this space at that the Chief Secretary be requested to issue a d.o. Children Hospital Building for the new Direct Data ktter to all the Collectors of the districts and Commis Fntry System as well as for accommodating other Cen sioners of the Municipal Corponltions for the smooth sus Sections of the Directorate. The Registrar General, working of the Census Operations and asking them to Government of India, New Delhi, issued prompt orders give the same importance to Census work as was being a bout the disposal of the 1971 Census records and it given by them to the work of General Elections, Scarcity, was po>sible to vacate these p,emises after disposal of Floods, etc. The Chief Secretary Shri H.
