Good article on Census 2011 in India

CENSUS 2011
CENSUS DETAIL IN URDU
CENSUS INDIA WEBSITE ADDRESS


This is the mail from Aariz mohammaed of Hyderabad. he is the Co-Ordinator of Center For Social Justice. for any query we can contact him on aariz_mohammed@yahoo.co.in.

The Census Registrar is not asking 'Religion' of the subjects. The two schedules ie. Houselisting and Housing Census Schedule -A & B, National Population Register [NPR]- Household Schedule - A&B Which were part of the attached here with this mail were not having the column of Religion.

Houselisting and Housing Census Schedule - B had a column No 15 asking about SC / ST Status with a note.


There are supposed to be Three Schedules

1. is Houselisting and Housing Census Schedule

2. is Household Schedule

3. is House hold Schedule part of National Population Register.

The manuals and the other files kept at http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011-Schedule/Index.html

was not having the '2'nd one. The missed Schedule is having 7th column as 'Religion'.


The columns of this Schedule are :

1. Name of the person and residential status

2. Relationship to head

3. Sex

4. Date of Birth

5. Current martial status

6. Age at Marriage

7. Religion

8. SC / ST

9. Mother Tongue

10. Other Languages Known

11. Literacy status

12. Highest educational level attained

13. Status of attendance

14. Disability

15, 16 : Characteristics of Workers and non-workers

17. Occupation

18. Nature of Industry, trade or service

19. Class of worker

20. Non Economic Activity

21. Seeking or available for work

22 - 25 : Migration Characteristics

26 - 28 : Fertility Particulars.

If this is a problem of uploading the website, it is ok. Or else, this will be a great set back to religious communities who are awaiting to have their data on different developmental parameters.

We have to check with the Regional Census Commissioner about this.

Shukria,
