“I have been asked as to whether census enumerators should co‐operate with the Government by responding to the Government’s call. Not being clear myself I have hitherto shirked a public answer. The spirit of civil disobedience in me has pulled me one way, my loyalty to the existing programme has pulled me in the opposite direction. My loyalty has triumphed and I am clear that we must co‐operate with the Government in the matter of the census. I am convinced that it strengthens our cause. It disciplines us in the habit of even reluctant obedience to statutory rules when they do not hurt our conscience or honour, and demonstrates the high and non‐violent character of our struggle. We must resist the temptation to offer civil disobedience even when it is so great as in the matter of the census. Thousands of us have a singular opportunity presented to us of showing our dislike of the existing system of Government. But the exercise of restraint at the present moment enables us to prepare for civil disobedience in future. Let us, therefore, help the Government to complete the census operations, not because we fear the punishment of disobedience, but because we are by nature and training law‐abiding, and we need not as yet disobey unmoral laws, whether by way of protest or with the view of destroying the authority of a Government which no longer enjoys our confidence. That extreme step in non‐violent non‐co‐ operation is open to us but we recognize that the atmosphere for its working has not yet been sufficiently created, and that we may not take extreme steps whilst milder measures are open to us. I hope, therefore, that all those who may be called upon in terms of the existing law to help census operations will render the required assistance to the authorities.”

iv FOREWORD

The 2nd Census of the 21st century, the 15th decennial Census and the 7th since Independence has just concluded. It is a matter of immense pride and privilege to be associated with the important national task of Census 2011. So far, 15 decennial Censuses have been conducted in the country in an unbroken series starting from 1872. The task of conducting Census 2011 was more gigantic than the earlier ones with the added responsibility of canvassing the National Population Register (NPR).

Census of India 2011 was conducted in the of Daman & Diu in two phases. The first phase i.e. Houselisting and Housing Census was conducted during 21st April - 4th June, 2010. Along with this, the National Population Register (NPR) was also conducted for the first time. The 2nd phase of Census 2011 i.e. Population Enumeration was conducted from 9th February to 28th February 2011 with revisional round from 1st March to 5th March 2011. The reference date for Population Enumeration is 00.00 hours of 1st March 2011. is undoubtedly regarded as the largest administrative exercise in the world. The magnitude of this mammoth exercise is evident from the fact in this Census over 2.5 million enumerators and supervisors were deployed in the country. In the Union Territory of Daman & Diu over 500 enumerators and supervisors performed the task.

The successful and outstanding completion of the field operations for Census of India 2011 was made possible by the untiring efforts of many persons and organisations. I gratefully acknowledge the role played by the people of the Union Territory of Daman & Diu in the successful conduct of this mammoth national exercise. The co-operation received from the Administration of Daman & Diu and all its functionaries was exemplary.

I express my sincere gratitude to Sh. Satya Gopal, IAS, Administrator of the Union Territory of Daman & Diu for the whole-hearted co-operation during the entire period of Census 2011. I could complete the work of this magnitude in the Union Territory of Daman & Diu with the whole-hearted support extended by the two District Collectors in the UT, who as Principal Census Officers along with their team of sub-ordinates gave a stellar performance in the successful conduct of Census 2011.

I express my sincere gratitude to the star casts of popular TV serial ‘Tarak Mehta ka Ulta Chasma’ who willingly volunteered to be our Brand Ambassadors for Census 2011. A special word of thanks to Sh Asit Modi, producer of Neela

PROVISIONAL POPULATION TOTALS – DAMAN & DIU iv Telefilms Pvt Ltd, who dedicated two episodes on Census in the popular serial ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ulta Chasma’ which was telecasted on SAB TV during the Census Operations in the country. These special episodes on Census were made free of cost and immensely helped in propagating the message of census throughout the country.

I am personally grateful to the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India Dr. C. Chandramouli, IAS, who has always been the pillar of strength and constant guidance at every step. I am also indebted to Sh. R.C. Sethi, Addl. Registrar General and host of other officers in the office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India. I express my sincere thanks to each one of them.

The dedication, enthusiasm and devotion to duty shown by my colleagues in the Directorate of Census Operations throughout this period is highly commendable. I thank each one of them and express my gratitude to them for making this mammoth task a grand success.

This is the first publication of Census of India 2011. The contents of this publication will be the only information available on Census for quite some time. I hope the data users will find this publication very useful.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

1

Introductory Note

Census of India, the world’s largest administrative exercise is much more than a head count. It gives a snapshot of not only the demographic but also the economic, social and cultural profile of the country at a particular point of time. More often than not, it is the only available source of primary data at the level of the village and (ward). It provides valuable information for planning and formulation of policies by the Government and is also used widely by National and International agencies, scholars, business persons, industrialists, and many more. In addition, the Census provides a basic frame for conduct of other surveys in the country. Any informed decision making that is based on empirical data is dependent on the Census. Democratic processes like the delimitation of electoral constituencies and affirmative action like reservation are also based on the basic data sets of the Census. It has indeed come a long way from what was described as “the idle curiosity of an eccentric sirkar” (Molony, 1911)1. No wonder therefore, that Census 2011 has adopted an apt tagline – “Our Census, Our Future”!

What is a Population Census?

A population census is the total process of collecting, compiling, evaluating, analysing and publishing or otherwise disseminating demographic, economic and social data pertaining, at a specified time, to all persons in a country or in a well delimited part of a country.

Population is basic to the production and distribution of material wealth. In order to plan for, and implement, economic and social development, administrative activity or scientific research, it is necessary to have reliable and detailed data on the size, distribution and composition of population. The population census is a primary source of these basic benchmark statistics, covering not only the settled population but also homeless persons and nomadic groups. Data from population censuses should allow presentation and analysis in terms of statistics on persons and households and for a wide variety of geographical units, ranging from the country as a whole to individual small localities or city blocks. - Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses (Revision 2).

Introductory Note

HISTORY

The earliest references of Census taking in India can be traced back to the Mauryan period in Kautilaya’s ‘Arthashastra’ (321-296 BC) and later during the Mughal period in the writings of Abul Fazl (1595-96) in the ‘Ain-e-Akbari’. However, the first Indian Census was conducted in 1872 in an asynchronous manner and from 1881 onwards, complete and synchronous decennial Census has been conducted throughout the country at the beginning of each decade. The Indian Census operations have been successfully completed despite having faced the two World Wars, the Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience Movement and the Partition of the Country. The Census of India 2011 is the 15th Decennial Census since 1872, seventh after Independence and the second Census of this century.

METHODOLOGY

The Census of India is conducted once in a decade, following an extended de facto canva
