  2. Indian Census… 1st complete Census conducted in 1881 2011 Census was the 15th Census which covered 1.2 Billion people 2011 Indian Census – biggest peacetime operation in the history of mankind 2011 Census was held in two phases: Houselisting & Housing Census(April to September 2010) Population Enumeration (9th to 28th February 2011)

  3. Data processing and Analysis

  4. 1.2 Billion People … More than a 6th / 17.5% of the worlds population- More than 2000 ethnic groups- All major religions of the world represented- Only the continent of Africa exceeds the linguistic, genetic and cultural diversity of the nation of India. Data analysis & processing: a mammoth task in India…

  5. Census 2011 Process Image based Recognition (ICR) Scanning Data Dissemination Database/ Tabulation Manual completion of unrecognized characters Image validation

  6. Data processing & Analysis India has always been in the forefront of using the latest technologies. Census 2001: India was one of the first countries to use the image based Automatic Form Processing Technology taking the help of High Speed Duplex Scanners for image capturing. Census 2011: India has adopted more developed ICR Technology with advanced features. Uses the unique TILE module which optimizes data accuracy with a systemized display of characters grouped together to allow easy identification.

  7. Data processing & Analysis… ORGI creates two seperate databases, the Houselisting & Housing Census Data (at Household level) and the Population Enumeration Data (at individual member of the Household level) Attempts made to link these two databasesto cross-tabulate information e.g cross tabs on Condition of Housing with Economic Condition, etc. Boundary of the Enumeration Areas (EA) have been kept unchanged during the two phases of the Census operation and provision has been made in the Household Questionnaire (Phase 2 Operation) to record the Household Number marked in the Phase 1 Operation Although the ORGI has made an effort to generate and release time series tables from previous census there are challenging issues as many jurisdictional changes occur, new villages and towns are created. Hence an attempt is underway to link the databases available since 1991 Census on jurisdictional changes upto Town and Village levels in the country.

  8. Beyond Census 2011… Provisional Population Totals for India and States manually compiled and declared within four weeks. Scanning of filled-in schedules completed Extensive quality check and data validation has been undertaken at each stage of data processing and analyses, using the CS Pro Software. Already published Tables on Houses, Household Amenities and Assets. The task of data checking and validation has been made far easier and quicker with the aid of technology

  10. DATA DISSEMINATION“A census is not complete until the data is disseminated and used,” Dr. C. ChandramouliRegistrar General of India

  11. The Government of India relies heavily on the Census data in formulating its Five-Year plans, Annual plans and various other welfare schemes Biggest source of primary data on: Demography, Economic Activity, Literacy & Education, Housing & Household Amenities, Urbanization, Fertility and Mortality, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, Language, Religion & Migration Questions canvassed during the Census covers a wide gamut of information pertaining to every resident : HouselistingQuestionaire – 35 questions/Population enumeration – 29 questions. forms an important basis for formulating socio-economic and administrative policies.

Data Dissemination Units: Hubs of information Following 2001 Indian Census, the Office of the Registrar General India framed a Data Dissemination Strategy to be followed in all the 33 Directorates In 2002, a Data Dissemination unit (DDU) was set up in all the Directorates DDUs have the latest facilities and technology, and upgraded at regular intervals

  13. Modes of Data Dissemination Printed reports (tables, State profiles, Analytical reports, Data Sheets on important topics, Atlas, Booklets) CDs, DVDs including subject specific CDs Websiteand downloadable files in the official Census website.

The Provisional data of Census 2011 already on CensusInfo India Dashboard Workshops/Seminars Digital Archive of Old Census Reports (1872 to 2011) in 33 DCOs in process A software module on Decision Support System (DSS)is being developed. Census in Schools project Workstation in JNU for researchers - database of more than a billion persons as collected in Census after anonymizing the sensitive fields. 18 more workstations in process with different universities

  14. - an innovative and flexible database technology for the dissemination of population and housing census results- Free software, owned by UN- adapted from DevInfo database technology - simple and user-friendly features that can be used to produce tables, graphs and maps for inclusion in reports, presentations and advocacy materials. - Customization of the system to country-specific requirements, including the name of the system, images, graphics, logos and colour scheme. - Supports local languages across unlimited geographic levels.- Data can be exported to XLS, HTML, PDF, CSV and XML files.  Use of CensusInfo for data dissemination

  20. CONCLUSION Censusinfo has been a boon for India. It is envisaged that CensusInfo will aid in better and quicker dissemination of data, reaching a wider audience Fact: Certain sections of society in any country do not have access to technology - As per Census India 2011, 15.54 Million households (6.3% of total population)  in India have computers/laptops in their homes with 7.6  Million households having internet connection - 14.50 million broadband subscribers as per the Telephone regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). Challenge: Effectively disseminating data to those at the grassroot level Action/Solution: A combination of the latest technology incorporated into the traditional methods of dissemination of data will pave the way in ensuring easy accessibility of data to reach a wider audience, including the users at the grassroot level
