CS reviews preparations for Census 2021

Ranchi: Preparations for the national census to be held in 2021 have started and for its successful operation in Jharkhand, a meeting of the State Level Census Coordination Committee was held under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Dr. DK Tiwari.

The Chief Secretary directed the Census Director to conduct video conferencing with all the DCs to provide necessary resources at every level and complete the tasks timely.

He said that census work is huge and it also requires a lot of human resources, so coordination is necessary at every level.

It was suggested by the Education Department that this work should be done during the summer holidays as this will not disrupt the study also others work. At the same time, teachers of single-teacher schools were also requested not to be included in the census.

The task of calculation will be in two steps. According to the program, the census work will start from January 2020 and will run till March 2021. In the first phase, the marking of the houses will be counted.

This work will take place between April to September 2020. At the same time, the census work will be completed in 20 days from 9th February to 28th February 2021.

During the census, the person who lives in the country will be counted there. After that, the revision work will run from March 1 to March 5, 2021.

The National Population Register (NPR) will also be revisited during the counting of houses. There is no difference in the data, hence the creation or naming of new administrative units is not done at the regional level. During the census, every information given by a particular person will remain secret. This time the census work will be done through the mobile app.

Successful testing of the app has also been done in three cities of Jharkhand, Dumka, Seraikela Kharsawan and Dhanbad. At the same time, this work will be done on paper as per the need. In the census, any person will be able to get his name added in a self-declared manner. The entire census will be monitored through the CENSUS web portal.
