This paper gives some basic characteristics of the population of Jharkhand as on 1st March, 2001 (00.00 hrs.) as recorded during the population enumeration work related with Census of India 2001. These figures are only provisional ones, compiled on the basis of the abstracts of population data prepared by the enumerators. These provisional population figures are being published with the intention of meeting the immediate need of the Government, various organisations, researchers and the general public. It would help provide them the basic population figures as quickly as possible after the population enumeration work has been completed. At this stage our intention is not either to interpret from these data or to draw conclusions from them, both of which shall have to await the preparation of the detailed Tables based on the final figures. Care has been taken, however, to highlight some of the striking features of these provisional figures wherever they have been noticed and effort has been made to mention them at appropriate places. Census operations in India is one of the largest administrative exercises of its kind anywhere in the world. Such a mammoth and gigantic exercise has been possible only with the wholehearted co-operation of the entire administrative machinery of the state as well as the active participation of all sections of the society. The credit for collection of census data must go to the multitude of Enumerators, Supervisors and all officials involved with census work in the state. Under testing circumstances, the entire administrative machinery involved in census work came out with flying colours, completing the job at hand with quiet efficiency and great speed. All the Deputy Commissioners, Districts Census Officers, Additional Districts Census Officers, Subdivisional Census Officers, Assistant Subdivisional Census Officers, Charge Officers and Assistant Charge Officers have wonderfully risen to the occasion and have proved beyond doubt that nothing is impossible for them. I make a special mention of their efforts because of the fact that they had to cope with the numerous administrative problems arising out of the bifurcation of the state of Bihar and creation of the new state' of Jharkhand on the 15th of November, 2000, midway through the Census of India 2001 (after the houselisting operations were over and before the actual enumeration was to begin). These people. in spite of heavy odds, have worked tirelessly and it is only because of their superhuman efforts that these operations could be carried out successfully and in time. I am grateful to Shri V.S Dubey. Chief Secretary; Mrs. Laxmi Singh, Finance Commissioner and Shri S.D. Sharma, Commissioner and Secretary. Revenue, land Reforms, Registration, Excise and Prohibition, and Relief and Rehabilitation Department, from whom I received unstinted support and guidance. I am also grateful to the members of my own organisation for all the strain they took in planning the work and making the conduct of census smooth and successful. While many of them, as the Directorate's representatives in all the districts of Jharkhand, had to stay away from their families for weeks together, those who stayed back in the headquarters, had to work extremely long hours, extending to even twenty four hours at a stretch in case of some. Without help and guidance from the senior pros, the old and efficient census hands; without a wonderful sense of dedication to duty as well as great team effort among all the officers and staff members this task would have become impossible to achieve. Some retired officers, who had very kindly agreed to associate with us during Census of India 2001 as Census Advisors, were also a source of strength, inspiration and encouragement. At this moment, I also wish to thank the Officers and staff from the office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India as well as from certain other Directorates who have given me invaluable guidance and support for which I shall ever remain grateful. People of Jharkhand who extended all the co-operation and support to the census officials including enumerators and supervisors, deserve my special thanks. Words of praise are due to the All India Radio, Doordarshan and other Electronic Media as well as Print Media, who helped us carry the message of Census to the people effectively. Before concluding I must express my personal indebtedness to Shri J.K. Banthia, Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India, whose affectionate guidance was a source of inspiration at every stage of this gigantic operation.
