NEW DELHI: Census 2021 will for the first time seek information from households on smartphones, DTH/Cable TV connection, internet access, number of members of households having bank accounts , ownership of house other than the rented accommodation of a household, bottled water availability and mobile number as part of the houselisting procedure.
Importantly, the latest census, as per the existing plan, will not collect caste data. While the socio-economic caste census (SECC) was conducted alongside Census 2011, the outcome of the caste census is yet to be made public. An official said SECC census threw up 40 lakh permutations and combinations of various castes cited by the respondents, and that the social justice ministry was still struggling with tabulating the same by eliminating the anomalies that include different spellings of same caste, respondents citing gotra as caste, etc.
The Census 2021 houselisting questionnaire, which will seek information from households on 34 parameters between April 2020 and September 2020, will no longer seek a breakup of male and female persons in a household, marking a departure from earlier census exercises. “The information has never been used while compiling data, hence we are no longer seeking it,” said an officer connected with the Census exercise. The latest census will have a listing for third gender.The population enumeration would be followed by a revisional round from March 1to 5, 2021, before finalising the population of the country as on March 1, 2021.
CENCUS-2021 Mo No and ACCOUNT NO. DETAILS WILL BE TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA .
