XL Census schedules and instructions, 1971 241-310 PREFACE As the very title suggests, this Report is a modest effort to place before my unknown successor, in a chronological order, the administrative arrangements made for the conduct of the 1971 Centenary Census. Despite the knowledge that change is the unchangeable law of nature and that there need not be any similarity between problems faced this time and what may have to be encountered at the next' Census, the Report does contain unsolicited advice here and there. I hope I will be pardoned if what has been stated is too presumptuous at plaa:s. , One cannot think of conducting a mighty operation like the Census without the fullest co-operation of everyone-departments and offices of the State Government, offices of the Central Government, employees appointed as Census functionaries and last but not the least, the respondents. It was my good fortune t.o receive active co-operation from every quarter; the results bear ample testimony in that. the final population figures differ from provisional totals announced within a fortnight of conclusion of the Census operations only by' 0.008 per cent. The preliminary estimate of post-enumeration check, conducted in the very month in which enumeration ended, also shows under enumeration of .25 percent only. It is well nigh impossible to express one's grateful thanks to everyone individually. All the same, I would be failing in my duty if I do not record here my gratitude to Shri A. Chandra Sekhar, the Registrar General, India, who was always a source of strength, Shri K. D. BallaI, the Deputy Regist.rar General, and Shri K. K. Chakravorty, Central Tabulation Officer in the Registrar General's Office. Within the State, Shri R. P. Naik, Chief Secretary, Shri M. S. Chaudhary, Additional Chief Secretary, Shri S. S. Gill, Home Secretary and Shri A. C. Rai, Deputy Secretary, Home Department, always gave ready co-operation and I am very much beholden to them for it. Here in my office, thanks are due to Shri U. K. Trivedi, Deputy Director, 'Shri M. L. Sharma, Assistant Director, Shri R. B. L. Shrivastava; Office Superintendent, Shri K. R. Pagare, Head Assistant, and Shri Vishram Singh, Statistical Assistant, for the paino; taken in rummaging through the files in order to make available necessary facts and figures and for preparing the Appendices, and also to Shri A.
