Census of India is the single biggest administrative exercise held anywhere in the world. Population enumeration of Census of India 2001 was held from 9th February th th to 28 February with a revisional round from lSI March to 5 March, 2001. Provisional Population Totals, Paper-l of 200 I, was published on 28 th March 2001. This contained . information about: 1. Total population of India and the States- Sex ratio, Literacy, 0-6 Population; 2. Population of Kerala - District-wise population; 3. Analysis of the results of population growth, density, sex ratio, literacy rate, population in the age group 0-6. The present publication, Paper-2 of 2001, is a sequel to the first publication. The _ figures in this publication are also provisional. The entire household schedules canvassed during population enumeration have been received from all the districts. These schedules will be thoroughly checked and tabulation of data will be done with the assistance of scanners and computers. Completion of the whole process will require a minimum of two years. Arithmetical . ~I errors that would have crept into the provisional figures, as they were quickly compiled from enumerator's abstracts in a short period of time, will be corrected before .i publication of the Final Population Totals. However, for all practical purposes these provisional figures depict the correct picture of the population of the State as on the midnight of 1-3-2001 and will be of immense use to planners, researchers and the general public. The mammoth administrative exercise that Census of India 2001 was, had the wholehearted support and co-operation of the State Government, especially the district administration. My colleagues in the Census Directorate put their heart and ~oul into making Census of Indi a 2001 a success. The Electronic and Print Media, the Kesari Memorial Journalist's Trust, the Railway and Postal Departments and above all the people of the State gave unstinted assistance and co-operation. I take this opportunity to personally thank all, once again.
