Census of India

The Census of India is a comprehensive survey conducted every ten years to collect vital information about the country’s population, including demographics, education, occupation, housing, and more. This data helps the government shape policies, allocate resources, and plan for development by understanding population trends. The last census was conducted in 2011, with the next one planned for 2021, although it faced delays due to the pandemic. The census is essential for informed decision-making and ensuring that the needs of various communities are met effectively.
