Indian Census in particular. covers the largest population of the world and it is also one of tile most economical administrative operation. Census as an institution goes back to (Fte remote past, but it is no longer a mere counting of heads, it involves extraction of information which plays a vital role in tl'Ie determination of many of our administrative policies. The facts elicited during the course of operation yield valuable scientific data of sociological importance. In many matters, it provides a useful guide for tlie effectiveness or otherwise of our economic polidies. The theory of population is itself an interE-sting part of economics. The Census helps us to test and adapt that theory to facts". -Sardar Vallabh Bhai patel 2. "The provisional population figures for the 1981 Census have just been relea1ed, and before commenting on the figures it is necessary to pay tributes to the extremely efficient and prompt mannu in which this massive task has been successfully completed. The Census in India il certainly tRe biggest such exercise any where in the world, and the quiet efficiency with wliich it has been undertaken could be a model for other countries. At a time when inefficient and shoddy performance seems to have become tlie ordi!r of the day, the census provides a refreshing contrast, and all conoerned deserve warm commendation". -Dr. Karan Singh, M.P.
