Smt Pratibha Devi Singh Patil , the President of India released a commemorative postage stamp on Census of India 2011 here this evening. The Population Census in India commencing from tomorrow ( 9th February, 2011) is the 15th Census in the unbroken series as reckoned from the year 1872 which marked the beginning of the modern census in the country. The process of census taking and data dissemination has evolved over the years.
The Indian Censuses have throughout evoked interest worldwide but have become of greater interest since 2001 when the country population crossed one billion mark. Taking count of the large size of the population and especially when it is continuing to grow, will make 2011 Census another challenge. Like in the past censuses, the census organisation shall be undertaking publicity by various means to create awareness amongst the public for participating in the Census.
