  17. DELIMITATION OF CENSUS AREAS • For complete coverage and effective field supervision, the country has been delimited on a four-tier system, into; Census Districts (Tehsils/ Towns and Cantts.) Census Charges (Qanun go/ part of Town/Cantt.) Census Circle (Patwar Circle/part of Town /Cantt.) Census Blocks (Village, part of Village/Town) • Census block roughly comprises of 200-250 houses • One block is assigned to one enumerator.

  18. PREPRATION OF MAPS Maps help in proper delimitation, control of census operations and presentation of census results. Maps of each Admin as well as Census Area have been prepared/updated. Maps of 50666 villages and 7594 urban areas (census circles) have been prepared and updated. Maps are being verified through satellite images (Google Earth). Block maps showing physical landmarks have been prepared which are provided to the enumerators and supervisors.

  22. APPOINTMENT OF FIELD STAFF • Census operation requires a field force of 182,000 as enumerators and supervisors. • The services of school Teachers and employees of other Government Departments are hired as Enumerators / Supervisors. • Participation of females is encouraged. Efforts are been made to deploy maximum females in the census operation as enumerators and supervisors. • Enumerators and supervisors are paid one month salary as remuneration.

  23. Field Staff (for House Listing)

  24. TRANSPARENCY Updated maps of census areas are provided to each enumerator and supervisors. CNIC of head or any member of household is recorded for verification. One supervisor has to supervise 5-7 enumerators. They fill-in certain forms independently for quality checks. Vigilance teams comprising DDO (R), a police officer and a technical officer are formed at Census District level to monitor census operation. Established control rooms at Census District level to redress public complaints about enumeration.

  25. Collection of filled-in questionnaires under sealed cover. Census Evaluation Survey will be undertaken by an independent agency (FBS). Administrative Boundaries have been freezed by the Provincial Governments. Ban on the transfer and postings have been imposed on the staff engaged in census operation. Continued

  26. Provincial Census Commissioners (PCC) have been appointed for effective coordination between Provincial Governments & Population Census Organization. Government Universities have been requested to spare students to be deputed as Enumerators / Supervisors Meetings were also held with Provincial Chief Secretaries and Secretaries of Education, Home Department, S&GAD, Local Government and Rural Development Department and Senior Member Board of Revenue to seek their cooperation. Continued

  27. ISSUES 33 • Law and order situation in certain parts of the country. • Access of enumeration and supervisory staff in troubled areas. • Security of census documents in sensitive areas. • Distortion of population figures due to linguistic and ethnic feelings in certain areas. • Political linkage of census data in terms of representations in assemblies and distribution of financial resources among provinces have made census a sensitive issue.

  28. House Listing Operation-2011 • House Listing Operation has been conducted from 5th April,2011 to 5th May, 2011. • Summary Forms REN-1 have been received which are being processed. • Results will be used for effective Planning of Population Census. • Other material i.e. Booklets of Form-I are being received at PCOs / RCOs level. 30

  29. KEY OBSERVATIONS ON HOUSE LISTING OPERATION Most of the field staff was taken from Education Department with few exception Revenue and Local Government Departments. Training was imparted by DEOs/AEOs and senior Headmasters. Deficiency in quality of training was observed in some areas. The concepts of Structure / Building and household were not clear to the Trainers / Supervisors and the Enumerators. 31

  30. Continued At some venues field staff found deviating from guidelines provided in the Manual of Instructions. For the next phase services of senior staff of FBS will be utilized for imparting training. Admn. Tiers had problems / confusion about their functions who needed briefing on the concept and methodology of House Listing Operation will be rectified. Other activities were going on in the field hence, the enumerators were not spared timely for census duties. 32

  31. Continued Census Enumeration Blocks particularly in suburbs of big urban areas were found of abnormal sizes. These blocks will be splited / bifurcated into manageable size to avoid problems in second phase. In some Census Blocks Settlements / Goths were missing in the maps which created confusion. 33

  32. Continued The initial period for Field Operation was 5th to 19th April, 2011 which had to be extended up to 5th May, 2011 on the request of some quarters. Instructions regarding Hiring of Vehicles did not reach timely. Coordination within the Census Staff and Admn. tiers was weak. 34

  33. Monitoring/ Checking of Field Activities. Effective monitoring of field activities was ensured by deputing officers / officials of FBS, PCO and ACO. The complaints received from field were addressed promptly. 35

  34. Establishment of Control Room There were 392 Control Rooms operative in 424 Census Districts. The complaints received in Control Rooms were either redressed on the spot or referred to the concerned quarters for necessary action. Publicity campaign could not be started as per Activity Calendar of the House Listing Operation. However, Publicity Campaign was launched during the operation to create the awareness among the masses through Print & Electronic. 36

  35. LESSON LEARNT Recommendation is that census staff may be taken from Education Department only. Appointment of Census Field Staff should be ensured well before the start of operation. Impartial people should be taken in the 2nd phase. Training may be imparted by Senior Officers of PCO, FBS and ACO. 37

  36. Continued Photograph of an Enumerator / Supervisor may be affixed on the Identity Card. ID Card also should have a serial number. Admn. Tiers should be briefed / sensitized about their functions / responsibilities. Enumerators should be spared timely for census duties. Effective Monitoring may be started in the beginning of census operation. Briefing / Sensitization workshops should be conducted for Coordination Committees / Vigilance Teams to make them more active and effective. 38
