R.epprt after ea~h Census. It is a re.cord 0f the .first pha.s~ .Qf the CenSUS Operati@ns relating to the .0rganIsatIOn. of ,bouseHsting and enumeratIon. There will b~ a separate repor-t dealing with the subsequent phase i,.e. tabv.latiol} of ce.Q.~us data. As mentIOned at the begmnIng of thIS report, till 1951 census.orgamsation followed a 'p!1oeni-x' approach. The office of the DirectOJ; of Census Opera tions came into existence a yeal or two before the enumeFatIOn and was wound-up ~ year er two thel'eafter. Such reports had, therefo~e, immense value for one's ~uccessClr. Although, now there is a suffiCIently bi!!: and organised office on permanent b~SlS, it takes some ·tIIl)_~ to get a hang of the census operations. I tIust lbat this report would be of h~lp in this ;regard. Indian Censl1s is a mammotb undertak-ing and by far the largest adminis­ trative exercise lD the wOIld toelay,. Although in the general administrative cu11mre, the _posting in thi~ organisation does not evoke sufficient enthusiasm, it IS. a unique experience which strains one's mental and physical capacities to the limit. I consider myself privileged to have been associated with the Census of 1981. In this task~ I had the priVIlege of having a fine team of officers and staff. to each one of them r oifel' my thanks. r am specially thanKful to Shri J.P. Baranwal, Assistant Director, Census wbo assisted me in preparmg tl.l1s reDort. He worked with dIlIgence and devotipn in collecting and compIling the required material for the report and also attempting preliminary drafting tor various chapters. I am also' grateful to Shri Lal Krishan, Deputy~Director for going metlculously through the manuscript, making corrections and oftering valuable suggestion~~.
