These figures however are only the crude totals compiled from the abstracts furnished by the Census Enumerators themselves from the Census records. The figures so compiled from the abstracts collect­ ed from thousands of Enumerators are bound to have their own limitations and are thus purely provisional which can be confirmed only after the Census Schedules are fully processed in a series of Regional Tabulation Offices. After the final tabulation, apart from providing the Primary Census data down to every village and Enumerator's Block of a town, a series of Census tabulations of the Census data will be made to present the demographic, social and economic characteristics of the popUlation in a meaningful way such a~ by sex, broad age-groups, educational levels etc. It is our anxiety to make available to the Government and the people the provisional results of the 1971 Census count as quickly as possible after the completion of enumeration which has impelled us to compile and publish this booklet of Provisional Population figures.
