PREFACE

One accomplishes many things in life, but it

is once that overwhelming satisfaction is derived in

making a mission complete successfully when

innumerable odds are to be overcome with

insurmountable difficulties. I must admit that census

taking in Punjab concluded gracefully and this could

only be done with devotion and dedication evinced by

the census functionaries all around the State, and in

particular, by the officers and staff of the State

Census Directorate.

The conduct of census itself and its various

organisational details have been underlined in this

report. The experiences have mainly been recorded

relating to the organisation of conducting census

operations in the State and how various difficulties

could be overcome taking into account the situations

as they developed and how consequential action

out in carrying forward the

implementing the time-bound

schedules prescribed by the Registrar General, India.

Many-fold tasks had to be carried out during my tenure

as the Director of Census Operations, Punjab but I am

afraid only important ones have been unfolded and

narrated in this volume. However, I leave much to my

successor to discover for himself to dissipate all the

ii

odds and ends also that would have to be confronted by

him and carry them out in the next census in keeping

with the situations that would then obtain. For

instance, the large scale jurisdictional changes that

would take place in the administrative units, handling

of huge population and their locations in ·highly

dispersed habitats as also raising a huge field

machinery and their training would be some of the

aspects which would need to be given early and

thoughtful attention as these are some of the

important elements to be tackled properly in the whole

scheme of things. At any rate, the huge machinery

required for conducting census should remain always

geared up" galvanised and energised in achieving the

targets within the time bound programme.

r must express my deep sense of gratitude to

Shri A.R. Nanda, Registrar General and Census

Commissioner of India, who guided ,me all along in

seeing through the entire census operations in the

State.

The Sta te government agenc ies rendered the ir

whole hearted assistance to me in carrying out all the

aspects of the operations and I stand immensely

grateful to Shri Tejendra Khanna, the ex-Chief

Secretary and Shri Shri A.S. Chatha, the present Chief

Secretary to Government of Punjab, who stood by me at

every time of my ordeal in accomplishing the difficult

iii

Shri S.K. Naik, the ex-Secretary, Local Self

Government and Urban Development, deserves my special

thanks for having attended to my requests promptly in

issuing instructions to all the field officers and,

thus, enabled me to establish firm rapport with everyone

in the district administration.

I also acknowledge with gratitude the services

rendered by all the then Commissioners of Municipal

Corporations of Amritsar, Ludhiana and Jalandhar and the

Deputy Commissioners and Additional Deputy Commissioners

in the State who acted as Principal Census Officers and

District Census Officers, respectively. The devot ion

set by them was felt amongst all the ranks of cenSllS

personnel in their districts.

I place on record my high apprec ia t ion of the

assistance rendered to me by Shri Il.L. Kalla, Deputy

Director (Hqrs.) in seeing through the accomplishment of

all technical projects, coordinating the activities CIt

the headquarters and of RTOs and in completion of this

report. Shri Madhav Shyam, Research Officer (Map) did

render excellent support and assistance in preparing

various details of this report. In organising, setting up and

manning the Regional Tabulation Offices, I highly appreciate the

magnitudous tasks undertaken by S/Shri Aj it Singh Sandhu, Harvinder

Singh, D.P. Singh, Karan Singh, Regional Deputy Directors and Shri

D.P. Jain, Regional Asstt. Director. Also, 1 run highly appreciative

of the carrnendable assistance rendered by S/Shri G.S. Gill, M.L.

Sharma, Asstt. Directors; Madhav Shyam, Research Officer; Charan

Singh, D.P. Jain, A.S. Dhillon and N.S. Bhadauria, Asstt. Directors and

dil igence displayed by the staff deployed on various

projects.

I am also thankful to Shri Harvinder Singh,

Deputy Director, Sarvshri . M.L. Sharma and N.S.

Bhadauria, Assistant Directors and the staff in the

Administration branch for having done indeed a

commendable job in assisting me in looking after the

huge administrative work generated at the headquarters.

Again, all the staff members, detailed at the

end, deserve my special thanks and appreciation for

having wholeheartedly cooperated with me in carrying out

the field operations even in very difficult situations.

The brunt of typing the manuscript is borne by

Sarvshri K.C. Pardesi, Confidential Assistant and Pawan

Bajaj, Junior Stenographer and photostating done by Shri

Parkash Sharma, Statistical Assistant and Sarvshri Bhag

Singh and Bikram Singh, peons. I express my

gratefulness to all of them for having all along evinced

keen interest in completing several assignments in time.

They have rendered commendable assistance to me in

coordinating the work in the Personal section.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Career in Retrospect

Much to the bewilderment of Ci:1llYJ.lIg Cl llJgU pruJ.J.J.t::

office, the career of a grooming Civil Service Officer

initially tends to keep him for a while amusedly enthused.

One is also overcome with the ambitious feelings but these

also get diluted in the process of perpetual turbulance

while accomplishing the important tasks related to

formulating numerous policy measures. Nevertheless, a free

and upstanding comment accompanied by anxious moments keeps

us going. ~ventually, however, while renderinr, humble

public servitude, we remain and end up as birds of passage.

The initial pursuit of my in-service training

career carried me to the Mizo Hills which remains until -

today a thrilling experience down in the memory lane of my

career. I thought the training stint in this part of the

country would be arduous and difficult. But admittedly, it

was an experience of sorts; an excellent environment

around, taken care by the most charming and scenic beauty

of green hills and silver-lined sky, my heart ~nd soul was

overwhelmed every moment of my training and leisure. This

is from where I actually took of. Later most of the

postings revolved around field executive duties,

maintenance of State Public Relations and dissemination of

information.

2

While ] was posted as the Joint Secretary to the

Government of Punjab in the Department of Power &

Irrigation, the sudden and unexpected callings from the

Census Organisation instilled a perception of foresakeness

in me. I thought a moment had come when I would remain,

more often, distantly away from my friends and colleagues

in the vast vicissitudes of the State Government

machinery. What is more, solo thoughts came quickly that

sooner I would have to severe I inks wi th my permanent

nestlings and left alone to fend for myself, otherwise,

the offer of organising one of the most important

exercises in the State was itself an extraordinary

challenging task. Eventually, however, beset, with all

the mixed feelings, I took over the office of Director of

Census Operations, Punjab, with effect from 7th September,

1989 in pursuance of the orders of the Government of Indja

issued vide their No. 1/5/8~-Ad.III(XI) - Annexure 1.

Indeed, I would also like to recall my association

with census taking during 1981 when I was posted as an

Additional Deputy Commissioner in Gurdaspur district.

This was then quite a satisfying experience. As a young

civil service officer, I had devoted considerable time in

overseeing the operational aspects of census taking

closely in the field but admittedly I had not then ~

comprehended its vastness and actual utility.

3

Census Odyssey

Thus, immediately after assuming the charge of the

Director Census Operations, Punjab, I looked forward and

in the right earnest started getting familiar with the

operational aspects of census taking.

The First and Second Pretests had already been

conducted in the State by my predecessor and reports of

the same are given at Annexure 2 and 3. The basic aim of

conducting these pretests was to make methodological

studies regarding the responses from the respondents and

the experiences of the enumerators. The basic

difficulties observed during the pretests because of

disturbed socio-economic situation in the State were:

i) Women-folk were reluctant to give information

to the enumerators, and as such the

enumera t or shad tot os s be tween the worki ng

place of men-folk and their residences;

i i) The working hours for the enumera tors were

limited as he/she could not afford to work in

the field till late hours; and

iii) It was not feasible for the enumerators to

stay in villages in view of insecuri ty and

also because of suspicion and mistrust.

As such the assignment of census taking in Punjab

looked all the more difficult and warranted utmost care

and patient handling of the situation for achieving the

goal of census taking. ,

4

This was the time when planning for conducting of

Houselisting Operations had just begun. I thou gh t the

first task for me would be to get quickly acquainted with

the organisational structure of the Directorate of Census

Operations, Punjab. Together with this, the Registrar

General, India1s circulars, guidelines and manuals of

instructions had to be comprehended first. In the

beginning, I had a thorough reading of the entire

Administration Report of 1981 Census and enumerated the

tasks that would lie ahead at the stage of my joining the

post. Gradually, the vast expanse of the operational

vistas unfolded itself before me and my odyssey to fulfil

the job of carrying out an efficient and successful

population census in the State of Punjab began.

I had the assistance of excellent complement of

trained officers and staff who over the years had gained

considerable knowledge and experience . in conducting

previous censuses. Already, some spade work had been

completed. The preparatories for houselisting involved:

(i) updation of village lists (ii) procurement of

uptodate maps (iii) verification of alignment of villages

(iv) compilation of working maps (v) procurement of town

maps, etc. Although the targets had been achieved in

case of items (i) and (ii), work had to be geared up for

the remaining. The first task was to launch Houselisting

Operations in the State and I had to plan and organise

5

the minutest details of each field operational step in

accordance with the State Census calendar and the

guidelines issued by the Registrar General, India.

Earlier, the date for conducting houselisting had been

fixed for August-September, 1990. I thought the

successive launching of houselisting and· general

enumeration operations with very little time gap left for

training the huge census field machinery for general

enumeration would disable the proper planning and

executing the field enumeration operations. I was,

therefore, compelled to have the Houselisting dates

advanced and launching dates refixed from 1st August to

1 5 t h Aug u s t, 1 9 9 0 • Th ere c omm end a t ion wa sse n t tot h e

Census Commissioner of India who readily agreed for

advancing houselisting dates.

Operational Work

One of the most challenging tasks of high

magnitude before me was to raise a census machinery

comprising of nearly 40,000 officials who had to function

as Enumerators, Supervisors, etc. and had to be drafted

from various government, semi-government, private

departments/institutions, etc. in the entire length and

breadth of the State. Armed with the State Government

notifications issued and gazetted vide Nos.

CA/DLG/89/48822, 49334, 49846, 49078 dated 23rd November,

1989 (Annexures 4 to 7), I started approaching

Commissioners of Municipal Corporations of Ludhiana,

Jalandhar and Amritsar, and the Deputy Commissioners who

had been appointed as Principal Census Officers in their

respective jurisdictions, and Additional Deputy

Commissioners, Sub Divisional Officers (Civil),

Joint/Assistant Commissioners of Municipal Corporations,

Tahsildars, Administrators/Executive Officers/Secretaries

of Municipal Committees who had been appointed as

District Census Officers, Sub Divisional Census Officers,

Ci ty Census Officers, >

Census Charge Officers,

respectively. Meetings had to be fixed up in each

district-'wii:h the higher census hierarchy down to the I

Tahsildar's level and in that details - on operational

undertaking of houselisting had to be brought home to

all. What is more, instruction manuals and schedules had

to be translated in Punjabi language and their onward

distribution among the census functionaries organised,

extensive programmes had to be organised for imparting

training to the census officers, enumerators, supervisors

and others in tahsil/town/city appointed by virtue of

provisions of Census Act in terms of the State C,ensus

notifications. I was fortunate in knowing personally

most of the Commi ss ioners of Corporations, Deputy

Commissioners and even Additional Deputy Commissioners,

who had to serve as a backbone of the ent ire f ielc

machinery, and I established rapport with each of them,

This gave me an added strength and encouragement as

thought that drawing upon their support in carrying out

the operations would be met with speed and success at

every level.

this we would have had to work under stiff constraints.

After a long search, we found a building in Sector 17

where most of the government/semi-government offices are

located. Emergency operations were launched in November­

December, 1989 itself to shift to the new building. We

started functioning from it immediately. In a record

It was, however, a period of quite uncertainties,

prevailing in most parts of the State. The field

constraints looked quite difficult and sometimes

insurmountable. In fact, the entire census staff of the

directorate had come to believe that field operational

difficulties would impede. the census taking. I,

therefore, took the first opportunity in impressing upon

the staff and officers to shed their fear psychosis and

remain prepared to be away on tour for long periods. I

must confess that the entire staff was gradually enthused

CHAPTER II

PREPARATORY STEPS

The first circular from Shri V.S. Verma, the then

Registrar General, India regarding planning for the 1991

Census had been received by my predecessor in June, 1987.

Subsequently. five more circulars from the Registrar

General, India had been received by him detailing

instructions in connection with the updating of maps,

fin ali sat ion 0 f r u r a 1 - u r ban f ram e, U r ban A g glom era t ion s

and Standard Urban Areas, etc.

Immediately after my joining as the Director,

Census Operations, Punjab, I received Registrar General IS

Circular No.7, detailing general instructions pertaining

to the organisation of the task of census taking.

Incidently, this was the present Registrar General IS

first circular after his assuming the charge of the

Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India. The

charts explaining the working of the office of Registrar

General, India and that of the State Census Directorates

gave me a quick understanding of the entire

organisational structure. The basic programmes of census

taking were also explained in this circular.

included:

a) Houselisting operations to be conducted in

mid-1990.

These

b) Actual enumeration commencing from 9th

February to 28th February, 1991 followed by

a revislonal round from 1st to 5th March,

1991.

12

These were to be subsequently followed by conduct

of Post Enumeration Check (PEC) and Census Evaluation

Study (CES) and then, of course, the tabulation of census

data. Thereafter, there was a regular flow of circulars

from the Registrar General, India and of these important

ones are reproduced in Annexures 8 to 21.

I looked now forward and in the right earnest

started getting familiar with the operational aspects of

census taking. The task ahead was of course massive and

challenging and required indepth understanding of each

detail whatsoever could be its magnitude. I started

going through the circulars/instructions issued by the

Registrar General, India which had already been received

by my predecessor and also went through the

administration reports of previous censuses. It looked

all fascinating but at the same time a challenging task.

The situation obtaining was, more or less, in a fluid

state. At any rate, we were determined to move forward

and not to look back in dismay as the firm determination

levels.

1 3

This could be possible only with the willing and

whole hearted cooperation of the State Government. In my

first communication to the Chief Secretary to the

Government of Punjab, I sought his authorisation to

directly correspond wi th the officers of Punjab

Government on matters pertaining to the conduct of the

census in order to cut down unnecessary delay in

correspondence. This authorisation was in tune with the

previous practice and was accorded. vide Stat~ Government

letter No. DLG-GB-A3-89/47190-47296 dated November 15,

1989 - Annexure 27.. Simultaneously, in pursuance of

Registrar General's demi-official letter No.

Chief Secretary for granting permission to avail facility

of telecommunication/police wireless system of the State

Government for issuance of urgent communications

Annexure 23. Through a series of notifications issued by

the Local Self Government Department, Punjab field

hierarchy had been laid and respective spheres of

jurisdiction and responsibilities of various officers

were identified. However, it was necessary tha t the

officers involved in this work attach adequate attention

and priority. I approached the Secretary to Local Self

Government, Punjab for issuance of suitable instructions

in this behalf to Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners

in the State, and these were issued vide his letter No.

First and Second Pretests

The first and second pretests had already been

conducted in the State by my predecessor and their

detailed reports are placed at Anne:xures 2 and 3. The

basic aim of conducting these pretests was to make

methodological studies regarding assessment of responses

from the respondents and the operational difficulties

that would be encountered by the enumerators. Carrying

out of pretests is a full dress ,ehearsal involving

preparation of houselisting, notional maps, canvassing of

houselist, household schedule and the individual slip.

The formats had been designed by the Registrar General,

PREPARATION FOR THE CENSUS

First Conference of Directors Census Operations

Immediately after taking over, I received a

communication from the Registrar General, India about my

participation in the first conference of Directors held

during November 6-9, 1989 at

Honrble Home Minister could

New Delhi. As the

nof attend, Shri

Kalyanakrishnan, Home Secretary, inaugurated

then

J.A.

this

conference. The conference was, of course, an important

one and as would be true wi th other Directors, we were

exposed fully to the tasks of census taking ahead of us.

The basic objective of this conference focussed attention

on the or g ani sat ion alma t t e r s reI a tin g tot h e 1 a u n chi n g

of field operations of 1991 Census, train the Directors

of Census on Houselisting Operations, including the

Enterprise Listing, and other important instructional

details related to houselisting andactual enumeration.

Shri A.R. Nanda, Registrar General & Census

Commissioner, India in his welcome address gave a

background account of the various aspects of conducting

the operations, its national importance as also explained

pros and cons of other items listed in the agenda of the

conference. He also made a specific mention about the

modus operandi involved in conducting census operations

18

with the help and cooperation of the State Government

functionaries drafted for census taking at all levels.

The Home Secretary, in his address highlighted the

sources of detailed information about the people and

impressed upon us the usefulness of census data. It was

also said that the availability of data in respect of

small areas like, village, town, Community Development

(CD) Block, ward, etc. were indispensable in the

formulation of plan schemes for sbcial and economic

upliftment at the grassroots level and it was all the

more necessary tha t the census opera t ions were planned

very carefully and he urged all the Directors of Census

Operations to pay particular attention to the need for

total coverage and accuracy in the collection of data and

give their best in meet ing wi th this challenge.

Thereafter, the house sat for business for next three

days. There was a very meticulous agenda to be discussed

and deliberated upon and several important questions

raised were given clarifications which are detailed below:

1. Preparation and organisational arrangements for houselisting operations

i) Finalisation of lists of villages

Although the progress of work in this regard was

found to be satisfactory, yet there were cases where some

work was pending for which Registrar General, India fixed

the tar get d ate a s De c em be r, 1 9 8 9 . I am fortunate that

my directorate had not been lagging in this regard.

19

However, finalising village lists was itself an important

task and every detail had to be sorted out with the State

Revenue Department, Directorate of Land Records,

Directorate of R~~al Development and Panchayats, various

local bodies, municipal corporations, etc. After making

several field visits, and corresponding with the said

authorities, we were able to complete the village lists

of the entire State finally for our field operations.

ii) Updating of maps

As for carrying out the field census work,

procurement of upto-date maps at the level of

district/tahsil/town/city is of primary importance.

Although, significant headway had already been made by my

directorate in procurement of upto-date maps from various

State Government agencies, yet in case of small Notified

Area Committees (NACs) and census towns, the maps were

not available and my staff had to be rushed to the field

for making the aforesaid maps after intensive field

surveys. Fortunately, I wa s a b Ie tog e t t his t ask ,)

accomplished within the specified time.

iii) Location Code of CD Block

Useful and prolonged discussions were also held

on the desirability of providing location codes of CD

blocks at the enumeration stage. Although, most of the

Directors were of the view that these codes could be

given at the processing stage, the Registrar General,

20

India, however, deemed it necessary tha t the CD block

code be given at the enumeration stage itself as

otherwise it would cause delay in tabulations

subsequently and this decision was strictly followed.

The formulation of CD blocks was done in consultation

with the notification issued by the State Government of

7th November, 1983 and adopted for preparation of Primary

Census Abstract (PCA), etc. However, we found at the

tabulation stage 'hat the CD blocks indicated in the

charge registers authenticated by the concerned charge

officers did not, in several cases, tally with the

approved lists supplied to us by the State Directorate of

Rural Development and Panchayats and, therefore,

necessary changes were brought about in the CD block

codes on the records so that the alignment of CD blocks

notified by the State Government remains in consonance

with the census documents.

iv) Delineation of houselisting blocks

The Registrar General, India endorsed the view of

S tat e D ire c tor s 0 f C ens u s Op era t ion s, for k e e pin g the

size of enumeration blocks at the level of 600 persons in

case of urban 3.nd 750 persons in case of rural areas,

both for houselisting and actual enumeration. The need

to keep the SRS blocks intact was also emphasised as this

was required for conducting Census Evaluation Study (CES)

later on. However, various constraints of field

21

situations did not admit the possibility of keeping to

the prescribed population limits. Therefore, keeping in

view the varied situations obtaining in respect of

terrain and topography, al ignment in urban wards, etc.

departure had to be made from the prescribed

instructions.

v) Printing of forms, instructions, etc.

Deliberations were also held on printing,

particularly of census schedules in regional languages.

Mo s t 0 f the D ire c tor s 0 f C ens u s Op era t ion s we reo f the

opinion that the census schedules, etc. should be in

regional languages. However, in order to have quick

printing done, the Registrar General, India considered it

convenient to get all the main census schedules printed

centrally and petty emergency printing charges limited to

Rs. 5,000/- per year were allowed to be incurred by the

Directors of Census Operations. )

2. Instructions to Enumerators for filli~ up Houselist and Enterprise List

The success of any operations depends solely on

how best the trainers are trained. The Registrar General

India specially emphasised the need for laying great

stress on conducting training by the census directorates

and for which the modus operandi was to first read out

the instructions to the charge officers, supervisors,

enumerators, etc. para by para.

22

With a view to clarifying our doubts, this scheme

was followed even for us as well. The Registrar General,

India did agree with the proposal made by some of the

Directors Census Operations for deleting some portions

given in the instructions which were not relevant while

translating them into the regional languages. The entire

instruction booklets and schedules were, however,

translated, word by word, into Punjabi language taking

care of naunces, definitions, concepts, etc. etc. All

the doubts/clarifications for instructions to enumerators

were made clear by the Registrar General, India. Among

other items discussed in detail included setting up of

Regional Offices, publicity, etc. In order to overcome

the problem of under enumeration of women IS work,

emphasis was laid on the proper recording of information

on womenls· participation in work, particularly their

participation in marginal work. )

3. Second Conference of Directors of Census Operations

The second conference of the Directors of Census

Operations was held in New Delhi during February 5-8,

1990. The primary objective of this conference was to

review the preparatory work and advances made in making

arrangements for the forthcoming houselisting operations

and form u I ate 0 r g ani sat ion a Ide tail s rei a tin g t 0 1 99 1

Census and to evolve ways and means for imparting

training on main census enumeration. The conference was

23

inaugurated by Shri R. Srinivasan, Additional Secretary

(Judicial) in the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The calendar for houselisting operations had

already been conveyed to the Registrar General, India by

the State Census Directorates. However, the

parliamentary elections in November, 1989 and assembly

elections in nine states in February, 1990 had made it

necessary for some states to reorient their houselisting

operations. Fortunately, we did not come across any such

eventuality. As the conference was primarily intended to

a c qua i n t u s wit h the en t ire gam u t 0 f con d u c tin g m a in

census enumeration, the Registrar General, India stressed

the need for activating the monitoring and supervisory

systems in the field during houselisting operations

enabling foolproof coverage at the time of actual census. _)

While highlighting the importance of census data, the

Additional Secretary remarked that there was hardly any

area of national concern and endeavour in which the

census data were not useful and urged the Directors of

Census Operations to playa very responsible and crucial

role in conducting the census and get conversant with the

concepts and definitions used in the census for their

proper implementation in the field.

The session began with the review of launching

the preparatory work and arrangements made for

houselisting operations. Progress made in respect of

24

finalisation of list of villages, rural-urban frame,

delineation of urban agglomerations (UAs), standard

urban areas (SUAs) and the preparation of charge

registers was also reviewed.

4. Setting up of Regional Offices and other administrative aspects

Con sid era b led iff i c u 1 tie s we r e en c 0 un t ere din

the recruitment of Deputy Directors of Census

Operations for the regional tabulation offices (RTOs).

In all, nearly 175 posts of Deputy Directors were to be

filled up allover the country and out of which four

were allotted for manning RTOs in Punjab State. Many

Directors of Census Operations mentioned that in view

of lack of granting prerequisites to the regional

deputy directors like house rent allowance (HRA), city

compensatory allowance (GGA), as also because they

would not get vehicle allowance, etc. suitable hands

were not willing to come on deputation as deputy

directors in the RTOs. Some of the directors even said

that the applicants want their posting at the State

capitals and would not like to be in the districts.

These were some of the bottlenecks in making timely

appointment of regional deputy directors.

In view of the disturbed situation obtaining in

the State, I proposed opening of all the four RTOs in

the State at Ghandigarh and this was ultimately agreed

to by the Registrar General, India. The other points

25

which came in for discussions included; (i) quick

disbursal of honorarium to enumerators and supervisors;

(ii) payment of- TA/DA; (iii) provision of furniture,

etc. for RTOe; (iv) making available higher contingency

funds with the Director of Census Operations; and (v)

providing telephone to RTOs.

As for the issue of p!oviding vehicles to

regional deputy directors, the Registrar General, India

suggested :

a) State Government vehicles should be

availed of by paying POL charges; and

b) private vehicles, if necessary, could be

hired on a limited basis after obtaining

sanctions.

The instructions for filling up of Part (ii) of

the Abridged Houselist (AHL) and reframing enumeration

blocks (EBs) for actual enumeration and instructions to

enumerators were explained in depth. The arrangements

made for the printing of all types of schedules and

instruction booklets, etc. we red eta i 1 ed for the

information of the State census directorates.

My Impression

The conferences generally extended over long

sessions. The discussions proved extremely useful. It

was, infact, a workshop for study and to assimilate the

knowhow of carrying out census operations and its

organisational problems and what is expected to be

26

achieved. Above all, besides accomplishing our official

commi tmen t s, these conf erences were very educa t i ve and

always satisfying for effective launching of operations

in the right direction. It would have, however,

benefitted -the Directors of Census Operations greatly, if

the field visits would have also been organised by the

Registrar General, India during th~ conferences so as to

acquaint them with field operational difficulties, etc.

in canvassing various schedules.

*****

CHAPTER IV

BUILDING UP OF THE ORGANISATION

The State Census Organisation was earlier headed

by a Joint Director. The total strength of

officers/officials of the directorate was 104 at

different levels as against the sanctioned strength of

133, details of which are given in Annexure 26. The

Group lA' category, besides the Joint Director, included

one Deputy Director and 3 Assistant Directors. In

addition, there were 8 posts under Group 'B', 74 in

Group IC' and 17 in Group 'D'. However, 29 pos t s of

different cadres had remained vacant which included one

post each of the Office Superintendent, Geographer,

Junior Stenographer, Upper Division Clerk, Computer,

Frash and Mali; two posts each of Draftsman and Peon and

17 posts of Assistant Compilers which had been held in

abeyance. Whereas some of these pos t shad 1 apsed as

they had been lying vacant for more than year, their

revival was necessary before the same could be filled

up, in case of some other posts, executive instructions

for their recruitment had to be sought from the office

of the Registrar General, India. With a view to having

full complement of staff in carrying out all the

operations, the situation demanded ,not only filling up

of all the vacant posts but also seeking further

28

sanction of additional posts. Th is, I tho ugh t, wo U 1 d

help me in meeting with the workload that was ahead of

us both in terms of carrying out houselisting as well as

actual enumeration operations~ Above all, the staff had

a genuine grouse as many of them had not been granted

any promotion for a fairly long time and were stagnating

at different cadres. I felt contended in giving one

step promotion to all those whose cases of promotion

were pending for one or the other reason. This enthused

the entire staff and generated among them a feeling to

go ahead wi th the work pI ans, come wha t may. Everyone

took charge of field operations with full vigour and

zeal. The Registrar General, India was also very

considerate while conceding to my request for

sanctioning of additional posts of various cadres and

the strength rose from 133 to 224.

I must, however, confess that it took us fairly

long in filling up most of the sanctjoned posts due to

administrative constraints, while a few others could not

be filled up for want of eligible appl~cants.

At the time of field operations, temporary

nucleus offices at district level and municipal

corporation level were opened up. The ministerial

assistance was sanctioned by the Registrar General,

India. Although this ministerial assistance was

deployed by the State Government, the expenditure

29

involved was borne by the Government of India on this

account. These temporary nucleus offices had to

function under the control of the Principal Census

Officers. In this regard, the following temporary posts

were created in Punjab for 1991 Census:

i) 23 Assistants (one Assistant in the office

of each Deputy Commissioner in Punjab and

ii)

one each

headquarters; 7 in municipal corporation,

Ludhiana; 5 in municipal corporation,

Amritsar; and 3 in municipal corporation,

Jalandhar).

iii) 12 posts of peons (one for each district

headquarters).

Setting up of Regional Offices ., )

The number of regional offices to be opened and

staff strength required for manning them is determined

by the office of Registrar General, India. Normally, a

regional office is set up on the basis of one for every

5 million projected population. These offices are

headed by an officer of the rank of Deputy Director

brought on deputation for a specified period.

Initially, the Deputy Directors so appointed are to

30

provide supervisory and technical assistance at regional

level during the field operations and thereafter the

same are converted into RTOs to be looked after by them.

In Punjab State, 4 regional offices were set up.

Initially, I had thought of setting up one RTO each at

Jalandhar, Bathinda, Hoshiarpur and Patiala. However,

subsequently keeping in view the law and order situation

in the State, the above proposal was discarded and fresh

scheme of opening two RTOs at SAS Nagar (Mohali) and one

RTO each at Patiala and Rupnagar was considered.

Finally, we decided to open all the four RTOs at

Chandigarh as this was found administratively most

feasible with less constraints.

Creation of posts for RTOs

The position with regard to creation of posts

for RTOs in Punjab was as follows

CHAPTER V

TOURING AND TRAINING PROGRAMME

The entire operations, i.e. Houselisting and

actual Enumeration involved touring but for which it

would not have been possible for me to keep tab on the

field operations. Most of the officers/officials of this

directorate also were detailed for training and

supervision work. Although the field operations were

conducted through district agencies, yet the task of

supervising all the basics involved in preparing for the

census lies with the census office for successful

completion of field jobs. Imparting of training is one

of the departments of the whole process which involves

precision planning in order to keep the entire machinery

fully trained to take up the filling up of various

schedules prescribed

enumeration. Although.

for houselisting

Census Direc tora te

and census

is meant to

provide training up to the level of Charge Officers who

in turn are to train enumerators/supervisors under their

charge, the fact remains that Census Charge Officers, in

majority, ask the census directorate for deputing their

officials to train the field staff at the level of

enumerator / supervisor as well. This puts a tremendous

pressure on the directorate and I was constrained to

detail almost all my staff for taking up training classes

as also supervision of the field work.

Against the four sanctioned posts of Deputy

Directors for RTOs, we could get only two officers on

deputation namely; Slshri D.P. Singh and Harvinder

Singh. Both of them were given the ch.,arge of one RTO

each. The remaining two posts of Deputy Directors could

not be filled up for want of suitable officers. In such

a situation, I had no option but to place the services

of two of my own officers for manning the remaining

RTOs. Shri Aj it Singh Sandhu, Deputy Director, Census

Operations and Shri Karan Singh, Assistant Director (now

Deputy Director) were made incharge of the remaining two

RTOs. In the middle of the tabulation work, Shri D.P.

Singh, Deputy Director repatriated to his parent

department and Shri D.P. Jain, Assistant Director was

given its charge. The position of RTO-wise sanctioned

programmes and field details. In fact, while on tours, I

had the opportunity to discuss various pros and cons of

the operations with the District Census Officers and

their subordinate staff and worked out strategies in

seeing to it that the operations got through even in the

sensitive areas.

Training of Enumerators and Supervisors for actual Enumeration

34

With a view to keeping the entire enumeration

agency fully trained, training classes were organised at

different centres throughout the State. Mos t of the

ed u cat ion ali n s tit uti 0 n s we r e used as t r a i n in g c en t res.

Three rounds of training were organised over a phased

time period. First round extended between 12th November

1990 to 30th November, 1990, whereas the second round was

held during 3rd December, 1990 to 31st December, 1990.

The third and final round was organised from 2nd January,

1991 which lasted till 31st January, 1991. In all, there

were over 600 odd training centres organised in the State

and in order to exercise effective monitoring of training

programmes, detailed charts were displayed indicating

therein the training schedules at different centres.

This chart revealed at a glance, the date, the venue and

the trainer's name. In addition. Inspection proforma was

devised for conducting surprise visits by me as well as

other officers in my office.

Despite time constraints, Deputy

Directors/Assistant Directors were advised to carry out

inspections of 3 to- 4 training classes each day within

their jurisdiction. I was also on the move independently

to ensure for myself that the programmes of operations, I

including training, were carried on the scheduled dates.

The training programme which had commenced from 12th

35

November, 1990 had to last till the end of January, 1991.

Three rounds of training for enumerators/supervisors,

were planned. It was in the third week of December, 1990

a news item appeared in the newspapers about State

Government's plan for holding elections to the munjcipa1

bodies in the State. Punjab Government's directive in

this regard was released to the press asking muni cipal

bodies in Punjab to ensure that preparations for the

CHAPTER VI

CENSUS SCHEDULES AND INSTRUCTIONS, TRANSLATION, PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION

The printing work involved in connection with

conducting of 1991 Census can be grouped into following

three categories

i) Printing of houselist, houselist

ii)

abstract, notional maps/layout sketches

(both for

enumeration)

houselisting and actual

and instruction booklets

for houselisting operations.

Printing of Individual 51 ip, household

schedule, enumerator's abstract ,.

enumerator's working sheet and

Instruction booklets for actual

enumeration.

ii i) Other miscellaneous items such as

charge registers, appointment letters

of enumerators, supervisors, etc.

The printing of all types of forms, Instruction

booklets was executed by the office of the Registrar

General, India and suppl ied to us. The working out of

the actual requirement of different types of forms was

done in accordance with the guidelines received from the ,)

Registrar General's office. Th e pop u 1 a t ion fig u res 0 f

1981 Census were taken as the base and population

projected for the year 1991, and additional 25 per cent

-quota was added to take care of reserves, field wastages,

37

etc. Similarly, the requirement of forms in different

languages, viz; English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu was also

worked out and communicated to the office of the

Registrar General, India for making supply thereof.

Language-wise distribution of various types of schedules

among districts in the State is given at Annexure 2~

I may, however, indicate that forms in Hindi/Urdu

language were not used by this directorate in the field

as the enumeration agency had demanded that schedules in

Punjabi could be easily canvassed by them in the field.

We had, however, expected to use schedules in English,

Urdu and Hindi languages also. We, therefore, ran short

of forms in Punjabi language and were compelled to get

them printed locally in order to meet the immediate

requirements. I am 0 f the op i n ion t hat we s h 0 u 1 d h ave

sufficient number of forms in Punjabi language. In fact,

while working au t estimates of various forms and

schedules, care needs be taken that we get the forms

printed in Punjabi language at least equal to the

population of the State that stood at the previous census

and an ad-hoc 'increase of 25 per cent or so to meet with ,)

the wastages, reserves, etc. Over and above, some

quantity of forms and schedules in English and Hindi

languages should also be made available. However, due to

persistent demands of enumeration agency we had to

request CSIR to supply us the Post Graduate and Technical

38

Personnel schedules printed for us in Punjabi language

which they did in record time at the nick of time at

Chandigarh itself.

The storing of various types of schedules a.nd

their despatch:.to .all the charges required considerable

thought and systematic planning. We hired a building at

SAS Nagar (Mohali) for storing of these blank forms. The

requirement for each charge was made on the basis of 1981

population and adding 20 per cent to meet with the

wastage, reserve quota, etc. These were packed in gunny

bags at charge level and transported to various centres.

Emergency field requirements were sent through special

messengers who delivered the packets promptly at the

centre wherefrom requisitions were received though

already reserve quota had been made available to

district/tahsil/town headquarters. All this was achieved

in a record time. The various types of forms required at

the houselisting and actual

included :

A. Houselisting Operations

i) Houselist ii) Houselist Abstract

iii) Notional Map/Layout Sketch iv) Instructions Booklet v) Enterprise List

B. Actual Enumeration

vi) Instructions Booklet.

CHAPTER VII

PROCUREMENT OF MAPS

The need for procurement of latest jurisdictional

maps relating to all the administrative units for

ensuring complete coverage is vital and cannot be

overemphasised. Proper upkeep of maps helps in proper

delineation of areas and always serves as an important

tool in the census directora te. The maps procured are

updated in the light of changes that might have occurred

after the previous census duly supported by State

Government notifications issued, from time to time. The

collection of maps and their updating started in the

light of instructions contained in Registrar General's

circular No.2 - Annexure 9.

The Director of Land Records. Punjab was good

enough to supply latest copies of the district and tahsil

maps. Initially, there were some delays in making

procurement of the copies of these maps and, thus, it had

become necessary for our officials t~ personally collect

them on the sp'ot. Finally, copies of all the 12 district

maps on scale 1 : 250000, and 46 tahsil maps on scale

1 50000 were obtained. All tahsil maps were

scrutinised and compared with the village lists received

from the Revenue Department of the State Government. In

a few cases, discrepancies observed, such as hadbast

40

number, spellings of villages, etc. were referred back to

the State Government departments for clarification.

These updated tahsil maps showing villages and their

hadbast numbers and urban areas provided a base for

allocating location code numbers.

Likewise, every Executive Officp.rlSecretary of

MC/NAC was also contacted for making supply of map of

city/town" showing ward boundaries and other details such

as roads, railways, settlement areas, important land

marks, etc. It was not an easy task to procure updated

maps and this necessitated personal visits by my

officials. In case of a few NACs and census towns, the

maps were not available with the concerned authorities

and we had no option but to deputing officials from our

map section for preparing maps by conducting on the spot

intensive field surveys.

At my taking over, the map section had one post

each of Senior Geographer and Senior Artist and two posts

each of Artist and Draftsman. There were just 6

incumbents in the map section against the sanctioned

strength of Ii: Obviously, this section was understaff.

The following posts were lying vacant and I started

taking measures to fill up these posts quickly to enable

giving impetus to the mapping jobs

In fact, some of these posts had been lying

additional posts under different cadres in the map

section.

directorate to attend to the tasks relating to pre and

post census mapping of all administrative areas. Besides

the mapping personnel rendered useful service in other

fie I d of wo r k , viz; imparting field training and

distribution of records in the field. The sanctioning of

posts for map section by the Registrar General's office

has been very thoughtfully done. However, it should be

42

the endeavour of the Directors of Census Operations to

make the mapping section more mechanised and

technologically advanced by way of introducing latest

equipments for undertaking quick cartographic work for

various pUblications. Also, the enumeration block maps

prepared by the enumerator at the time of actual

enumeration is a precious document and there i 9 a need

for making use of these maps for the successive census

and the first step in this direction is proper upkeeping

of these EB maps.

The map section should undertake updating of all

maps including EB maps during intercensal period and this

should be a continuing process and could be undertaken ir

collaboration with the State/Central Government agencies

like, Director~te of Economics & Statistics (DES) ,

National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), etc. Fo]

this, proper guidelines should be developed in Mal

CHAPTER VIII

PREPARATION OF RURAL AND URBAN FRAME

In order to effectively count each and every

person without any onmission or duplication, as also to

ensure complete coverage of all areas in the State, the

rural and urban areas are spec if i c ally def ined. The

first essential step

and ensuring that

was finalisation of lists of areas

the State Government makes no

a 1 t era t ion sin the j uri s d i c t ion ale han g e san d i t wa 9 ,

therefore, essential to approach the State Government for

freezing the jurisdictional changes until the entire

census operations were over. Notification in this

regard was got issued by the Chief Secretary to

Government, Punjab vide notificatjon No. A-3-DLG-

89/46934, dated I5/17th November, 1989 - Annexure 29. I

am fortunate that no territorial change was made in the

boundaries of districts, tahsils, towns and villages

after 1st December, 1989 until the census operations were

over.

Rural and Urba~ Frame

After finalising the lists of areas the

demarcation of rural and urban is precisely done. The

urban areas are specifically defined and all the

remaining parts are grouped as rural. For census

purposes, there are two types of urban areas: statutory

44

and non-statutory. All places with a municipality,

corporation, cantonment board or notified area committee,

etc. are statutory towns. Non-statutory towns, which in

effect are Icensus towns l , however, include all those

places which fulfil the following criteria

i) A minimum population of 5,000;

i i ) a tIe a s t 7 5 per c en t 0 f mal e wo r kin g

force engaged in agricultural pursuits;

and

iii) a density of population of 400 persons

per sq. km or 1,000 persons per sq.

mile.

Besides, the Director of Census Operations, has

some discretion, in consultation wi th the State

Government, to treat all those areas as urban which show

distinct urban characteristics. The whole exercise of ,

" treating rural areas as non-statutory towns, i.e. census

towns, is very carefully done. Based on the 1981 Census

figures, all those villages with a population of 4,000

persons and above were examined by applying the criteria

given under (i) to (iii) above in unison, and not in

isolation. Similarly, status of non-statutory towns of

1981 Census was examined to ascertain as to whether they

fulfilled the prescribed criteria for being retained as" 4

census towns, and if not, they were treated as rural.

Jurisdictional changes after the previous census

do occur and it becomes imperative for the census

45

organisation to Keep a tracK 01 all tne notifications

issued by the State Government during the intercensal

period. A tan y rat e, the for emo s t t ask for fin a 1 is in g

rural-urban frame involved obtaining of all copies of

notifications issued by the State Government in support

of jurisdictional changes which had been brought about

af ter 1981 Census. S im u 1 tan eo us 1 y ,Ii s t s 0 f viII age s

were also obtained from the Revenue Department of the

State Government. These lists were compared with those

of 1981 and the discrepancies observed were reconciled

with them. There are 12,813 (including 386 un-inhabited)

villages in the State as per 1991 Census.

Similarly, the State Government was approached to

enable us to know if any new local bod~bad been notified )

or denotified after the 1981 Census. The State

Government had denotified 21 NACs after the 1981 Census.

It may be in the fitness of things to make a mention

that, in fact, 16 out of these 21 NACs were denotified as

rural by issuance of a series of notifications in 1980.

However, for 1981 Census these were taken as urban

I because of the f~llowing exigencies:

i) Enumera t ion blocks had been carved ou t

in the entire state and census charges

had been created. Any change at that

point of time would have entailed a

fresh exercise for which there was

1 it tl e time.

ii) Sample design introduced during the 1981

enumeration for the first time, had

already concluded with the drawing up of

samples. Any disturbance in the

jurisdiction would have disturbed the

sample and resultant compulsions based

thereupon.

46

One NAC (Badhni Kalan in Faridkot district) was

newly created after the 1981 Census. Notifications in

this regard were obtained from the State Government.

Besides, seven other .villages also qualified to be

treated as !census towns! at the 1991 Census. I n sum,

the urban structure of Punjab for 1991 Census includes,

112 statutory towns (3 Municipal Corporations, 96 MCs, 10

NACs, 3 Cantonment Boards), and 8 non~statutory (Census) )

towns.

Urban Agglomeration

The concept of Urban Agglomeration (UA) was

introduced at the 1971 Census and this has been followed

in the subsequent censuses of 1981 and 1991 as well. It

is observed that around a core city or statutory town,

fairly large, well recognised railway colonies,

university campuses, posh areas, military camps, etc. are

established and even though they are outside the

statutory limits of the corporation, municipality or

cantonment, they fall within the revenue limits of the

village or villages which otherwise are contiguous to the

city-town • All such areas, i.e. outgrowths (OGs) are

47

treated as integrated urban area of a city/town. An

Urban Agglomeration is constituted in the following

situations

i) a city or

outgrowth;

town wi th a continuous

ii) two or more adjoining towns with their

outgrowths as in (i) above; and

iii) a city and one or more adjoining towns

wIth their outgrowths nll of wh1ch form

a continuous spread.

The UAs were finalised on the lines detailed in

Registrar General's circular No.4 (Annexure 11). The

cases of UAs of 1981 Census were exam~ned to ascertain if

the OGs of any UA had been merged within the town limits

during the previous decade. Likewise, areas which

qualified to be treated as UAs were examined by

conducting field visits in order to ensure that the areas

being delineated as UAs possessing the necessary

conditions of urbanisation, continguity, feasibility,

etc. All the funct ionaries of the Local Bodies were

approached and asked to furnish information of such OGs

tha t had sprung up on the per iphery of the ir mun ic ipa]

areas and were contiguous with the town limits.

Similarly, information was also sought whether any OG of

UAs of 1981 had merged within the municipal limits during

the intercensal period. All such cases where new OGs had

come up as also the OGs that had merged with the

48

municipal limits were physically inspected to ensure

that the criteria laid for delineation of UAs was

meticulously followed.

There were 19 UAs in the State at the 1981

Census. While finalising UAs for 1991 Census, it was

found that out of 19 UAs of 1981, OGs of 4 UAs had

merged with their core towns and 7 new UAs qualified to

be del ineated for the purposes of 1991 Census.

Proposals in this regard were sent to the office of the

Registrar General, India for scrutiny and approval. In

all, following 22 UAs have been delineated at the 1991

Census

Standard Urban Areas

The concept of Standard Urban Area (SUA) was

first introduced at the 1971 Census. In it, the

projected growth of a city or town having a population

of 50,000 persons or more in 1 97 1, as i t wo u 1 d be in ,i

1 991, wa sen vis aged t a kin gin t 0 a c c 0 u n t not 0 n 1 y the

towns and villages which would get merged into it but

also the intervening areas which were potentially

urban. The same concept has been followed in the

subsequent censuses of 1981 and 1991. At every census,

it is likely that a number of changes take place in

respect of the components of the SUA during the

intercensal period. For instance, there could be

merger of exi sting rural componen t s wholly or part 1 y

with the urban components, or merger of existing OGs or

new towns created from within the rural components of

SUAs, etc. All this was carefully examined in the

light of instructions contained in Registrar General's

circular No. 5 Annexure 12. No fresh SUA was

permitted to be delineated according to the

instructions from the Registrar General, India. Thus,

50

the number of SUAs in Punjab remained static, i.e. 12

since 1971. There are, howevor, flOnlt'! c:hnngeA hnvinR

taken place'·: within the limits of SUAs on account of

merger of OGs or delineation of fresh OGs or non-

contiguity of rural components. The SUAs selected in

Punjab for 1991 Census are as follows

l. Pathankot, SUA

2 • Batala, SUA

3. Amritsar, SUA

4. Abohar, SUA

5. Firozpur, SUA

6. Ludhiana, SUA

7 • Jalandhar, SUA

8 • Phagwara, SUA

9. Hoshiarpur, SUA

10. Patiala, SUA

11. Bathinda, SUA

12 . Moga, SUA

Location Code

Location Code is a simple device by which every

area in any administrative unit in the State can be

identified by assigning specific code numbers for

different levels of administrative units so that each

such area can be referred to by a combination of such

numbers. The chron~logy of the administrative units in

the State is, district, tahsil, village/town and the

EB. In order to maintain contiguity, the districts

were serialised from 1 to 12 as this was to be treated

as the first element of location code. The tahsils

51

were ser1alised beginning from numher within en~h

district, and this const i tuted the second element of

the location code. Villages which constituted the

third element of the specified code for rural areas

were numbered within the tahsil in a serpentine manner

beginning from north-west down to south-east point.

Towns/cities which are the third element code in case , ,J

of urban areas were coded within the district and these

numbers we!e given in Roman figures so as to make them

distinct from the village codes. The fourth element of

the code was EB. Each village or town was constituted

into one or more EBs and bore the continuous serial

number wi thin the Charge. The EB code numbers were

indicated within brackets. As an illustration,

location code No. 1/2/21(6) refers to EB No.6, of 21st

village in second tahsil of 1st district. Similarly,

locade code No. 4/1/4(9) would refer io EB No.9 of 4th

ward of first town of 4th district.

Preparation of Charge Registers

The Charge Register is the basic document which

remains with tHe Charge Officer for exercising complete

control over the field operations and for ensurance of

complete coverage of all areas without any ommission or

duplication in his administrative jurisdiction. It

also serves as a Control Register containing essential

details such as, the loeational details of an

52

enumerator's block and specifies the name and address

of enumerator and area(s) assigned to him. Blank

charge registers were supplied to the charge off icers

and were prepared in triplicate and a copy of each was

kept with the District/City Census Officer, the Charge

Officer and the State Director of Census Operations.

Howeve'r, in some cases, the same were prepared in

duplicate due to constraints of time and manpower and

the District /City Census Off ieer did not deem it

essential to keep a copy of the same as they

volunteered to monitor the operations even without

having a copy of these Charge Registers.

CHAPTER IX

ENUMERATION AGENCY

The Census Operations are conducted majnly

through the State Government hierarchies with the

Director Census overseeing these operations. The State

census hierarchy is generally as follows:

Director of Census Operations I

Joint Director/Deputy Director of Census Operations I

Assistant Director of Census Operations I

Principal Census Officer I

District Census Officer I

City Census Officer (Additional District Census Officer in some cases)

I Sub-Divisional Census Officer

I Charge Off icer

(Additional Charge Officer in some cases) I

Supervisor I

Enumerator

The large contingent of enumerators and

supervisors provides the base of the pyramid of census

hiearchy and lhe quality and complete coverage of .J

census rests on this strong base. Infact, it is the

enumerator who stands out as the kingpin of the whole

set up of enumeration agency. It is, therefore, very

essential that the selection of enumerators and their

training is carefully planned and executed. In all,

54

about 40,000 enumerators, supervisors and of other

ranks were required for conducting the massive field

operations both for houselisting and enumeration. The

entire machinery was drawn from various State

Government departments, educational institutions, local

bodies, etc. etc. Although the responsibility of

drafting the staff from various State Government

departments lies with the Commissioners of Municipal

Corporations and Deputy Commissioners who are notified

as the Principal Census Officers in their respective

jurisdictions, none the less, in order to facilitate

the ir work, I approached the Secre t ary to Loca I Se 1£

Government, Punjab to issue instructions to all the

concerned Secretaries of various departments for

issuance of suitable instructions to their departmental

heads in making available their staff for conducting

the field operations. With this instruction, the

appointment of enumerators and supervisors could be

accelerated. It was also essential that the officials

deputed for census work were not transferred until the

entire operati'ons would be completed. . )

The Order No.

7/10/90-3PP-II/9690, dated 31.5.1990 issued by the

Government of Punjab in this behalf was released

through a press note- Annexure 30:- Equally important

was' the grant of special concession to

enumerators/supervisors for attending training classes

55

as well as the field operations. The orders for grant

of concess~on were issued by the Local Government

Department, Punjab vide letter No. CA-DL-4-Census-

.25/90/20057-21012, dated 22nd May, 1990 - Annexure 31.

Jhe enumerators and supervisors, mostly drawn from the

Government educational institutions, were also granted

.. <:oncessions by the State Government by way of treating

• them on duty during conduct of field operations. This

measure ensured the completion of filling of census

schedules in the field itself at the headquarters of

district/tahsil/sub-division/city/town for release of

1991 provisional population figures of the Punjab State.

The enumerators/supervisors deployed were

generally primary of middle school teachers. However,

it was ensured that senior ones among them were

appointed as supervisors. In case of urban areas,

enumerators and supervisors were drawn from Local Self

Government and other government as well as semi-

government departments.

The average workload for an enumerator stood at

750 persons or 'ISO households in rural, areas and nearly ;

600 or 120 households in urban areas. For every five

enumerators, a supervisor was appointed. The selection

of enumerators and supervisors was made by the District

Census Off icers or Ci ty Census Off icers. In case of

Special Charges, the Special Charge Officer necessarily

56

had to be the official belonging to the institution.

These special charge officers were authorised to appoint

enumerators and supervisors from amongst their own

hierarchies. While selecting Government officials for

appointment as enumerators and supervisors, care was

taken to ensure that the representation of different

departments should not remain disproportionately large,

and that the appointment is made in consultation with

the concerned local head of the office or department.

In selecting officials for appointment as supervisors,

we made it obligatory that the supervisor should be of a

higher status than that of an enumerator. In order to

meet with all types of field eventualities, 10 per cent

of the enumerators and supervisors were kept as a

reserve force for each charge. Each appointee was

issued an appointment letter and identification card

signed by the charge officer clearly giving indication

of his/her area and other details.

The enumeration agency comprised of a mix of

both sexes. In fact, in some sensi t i,ve areas, it was )

considered safter to deploy female staff. Initially,

the tendency of the enumera t ion agency was somehow to

obviate willingly corning forward to take up the

responsibility of canvassing census forms in the field.

But gradually, they realised its importance and

subsequently relished the work after attending training

iii) no other agency or department can

meet with the requirements of raising

enumera t ion agency of such a large

magnitude.

58

The teachers were granted a concession of two

hours each in the morning and evening for completion

of the entire work during the prescribed enumeration

period. Moreover, they were given a small amount of

honorarium for completion of several schedules in the

field. These aspects would have to be taken into

account before conducting the next census so that the

entire machinery raised is enthused to work in the

field without any let up, whatsoever. One possibility,

which I think, could smoothen the process, would be

shorten the number of enumeration days to one-half of

what is presently prescribed and gran t i ng each

enumerator and supervisor special leave in lieu of

having worked during the prescribed period of

enumeration, etc. This would enable them to give full

concentration to this onerous work and may lure them

as well in evincing complete interest in the

canvassing of various schedules.

57

programmes and were greatly enthused to complete their

assignments. However, a small complication had arisen

in Ludhiana Municipal Corporation. at the time of

Houselisting Operations. The Deputy Commissioner,

Ludhiana had cancelled appointment orders of about 200

lady teachers by giving verbal instructions. This

news appeared in the local daily (Punjabi Tribune)

also, and amounted to some resentment by the remaining

lady teachers whose orders were not cancelled.

Keeping in view the gravity of the situation at

Ludhiana, I wrot e to Shri S.K. Naik, the then

Secretary, Local Self Government, Punjab for taking

immediate corrective action in the matter. In his

wireless message to the Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana,

the Secretary, Local Self Government, Punjab, not only

expressed Punjab Government IS displeasure but also

instructed for ensuring full deployment of staff for

completion of houselisting operations within the

stipulated time.

Indeed, teachers are the most suited community ,

. ) for undertaking the task of field surveys as;

1) by virtue of their professj;on, it is

·conven-ienf --for them to understand

:-various"concepts relatively easily.

and of course for which they are

granted concessions as well during

census operations; and

iii) no other agency or department can

meet with the requirements of raising

enumera t ion agency of such a 1 arge

as well in evincing complete interest in the

canvassing of various schedules. )

*****

CHAPTER X

HOUSELISTING OPERATIONS

Houselisting Operations is an essential pre-

requisite conducted six to nine months in advance of

the actual count of population. However, depending

upon the local conditions, the period of houselisting

operations, unlike the actual enumeration, is fixed in

such a way so as to enable re-carving of census

enumeration blocks and making availability of

sufficient time to train up the entire field

enumeration agency.

The houselisting takes into account the

c over age 0 fall are a sin t he S tat e and i s me ant for

listing all the buildings, houses and households put

to use as residential/partly residential, workshops,

shops, factories, temples, gurudwaras, mosques, etc.

etc. to enable collection of up to date housing

statistics in the country as also it serves as a frame

for undertaking the actual census enumeration

opera t ions '. The third Economic Gensus of the Central ;

Statistical Organisation (GSO) was also integrated

wi th the housel is tin g opera t ions and the En t erpr i se

List developed by the GSO was simultaneously

canvassed. These filled in Enterprise Lists were,

however, handed over to the eso for processing and

dissemination of data.

60

At the houselisting operations, the following

schedules were canvassed in the field:

1. Houselist

2. Enterprise List

By now, I had already gone through the formats

which had been canvassed in the first and second

pretests in selected blocks and the observa t ions of

the field operations helped me a lot. As said

earlier, the first essential step was finalisation of

lists of areas and ensuring that the State government

made no jurisdictional alterations during conduct of

both Houselisting and Enumeration Operations.

I rna y emph as is e t hat the a c cur a c y 0 f c ens us

taking depends on various factors of which house

numbering is of utmost importance. As in other parts

of the country, the housing situation in the State is

quite complex in a~much as the systematic numbering is

almost non-existent. Wherever some kind of systematic

numbering is available in urban areas it is adopted

for census taking. But in case of other areas fresh

numbering is done at the houselisting stage itself to

ensure full coverage and also obviating any omissjons.

As there remains a gap of 6 to 9 months between the

houselisting and actual enumeration, and during this

period the rainy season and Diwali festival fall, and

as such most of householders prefer to get their

61

houses white-washed and, thus, there is every

likelihood of numbers getting obliterated if not

properly marked. Therefore, every precaution is

necessary so that the painted numbers last at least

until the actual enumeration is over. So, a special

type of coloured marker/pen was used for

housenumbering in the State. Not only that this was

quite economical but it was quite convenient for the

enumerators. Necessary guidelines were also given to

the enumerators about the manner i n wh i c h t his

numbering should be done.

As I have mentioned earlier, initially, the

date for conducting of houselisting and enterprise

listing operations in Punjab State had been approved

for September, 1990. This had been done much before

my taking over as Director, Census Operations. ],

however, thought the successive launching of

houselisting and general enumeration with very little

time gap given for training the huge census field

machinery for actual census count would disable me to

launch proper planning and execution of the field

enumeration operations. I was, therefore, constrained

to have the Houselisting date advanced and launching

operations refixed from 1st August to 15th August,

1990. The recorrnnendation was sent to Census

Corrnnissioner of India who readily agreed for advancing

houselisting dates.

62

It would have been difficult if the period for

houselisting operations had been fixed to be operative

from Sept ember, 1990. In the earlier censuses of

1961, 1971 and 1981, the houselising operations were

very thoughtfully fixed for April-May months as this

is the best suitable time for these operations. For

future censuses I would recorrmend that the

Houselisting operations should be conducted in April

which would give the organisers enough time for

systematic planning for the actual census enumeration

as the houselisting experience would give them enough

feedback on various operational difficulties and their

resoluti·ons.

It has now become almost a regular feature to

undertake preparation of Enterprise List in

conjunction with houselisting operations. This is

done on behalf of the Central Statistical Organisation

and the practice is in vogue since 1981 Census. The

canvassing of Enterprise List alongwith Houselisting

Operations has been, to a considerable extent, telling

upon t~e qual~ty and coverage of houselisting data in

as much as it has been affecting mai~ly the stamina of )

an en umera t or whose workload ge t s too enormous

whereas, he is already loaded with the task of

completing houselisting and its other ancilliary

schedules.

63

Though the' task of canvas sing the En t erpr i se

Jist ought to have been handled exclusively by the

itate Economic and Statistical Organisation, most of

,run t of training as well as its supervision

11 t ima tel y fell on Census Organisation. The

)articipation of the officers of the State Economic

Lnd Statistical Organisation in training the field

lachinery has

:hey need to

also been indifferent or scanty, but

be galvanised to devote whole time

Lttention to both the Houselist and Enterprise List.

ror this, special directive ought to be got issued by

:he State Government in future c_ensuses. What is

[lore, the synchronizing of canvassing both the

;chedules adds profound confusion in the mind and

intellect of an enumerator and since he is observed to

lave side~racted the concepts of Houselisting, vis-a­

vis the Enterprise listing it is suggested to have the

exercises of canvassing Enterprise list is done during

intercensal period by the State Statistical and

Evaluation Organisations in collaboration

Directorat~s of Census Op~rations~

Publicity

wi th S ta te

It is important

measures are devised in

that

order

adequate pUblicity

to make the citizens

censu s cons c ious from the ear 1 y s ta ge 0 f prepara t ion

for conducting the main census enumeration. This will

64

help greatly in illiciting warm response from the

respondents. The Registrar General, India had also

organised census publicity through various modes of

media at the Central level in order to launch massive

publicity in which the importance of census taking was

projected and people's cooperation sought for making

the operation successful.

I may, however, confess that publicity

programmes in Pun jab were kept a tal ow key wi th a

view to avoiding any adverse reaction in this

sensitive linguistic State. This really paid

dividends not only in conducting the census smoothly,

contrary to the general view, but there were no

adverse reactions from the people at large as it was

conceived as a very useful exercise for launching

f u t u r e we 1 far erne as u res for the S tat eat 1 a r g e . I

may, however, quote one such instance when

houselisting operations were on going. I came to know

of a resentment expressed in public by some members of

a particular community against the omission of the

symbol of gtirudwara from the prescribed forma t of ,

notional/layout sketch map to be) prepared for an

enumerator's block. This omission was promptly

brought to the notice of the Registrar General, India

who in turn withdrew the original printed blank

formats and got them printed afresh indicating thereon

65

the symbol of gurudwara ae well at the tlme of actllal

enumeration operations. However, at the houselisting

stage, it was difficult to get printed the formats and

I flashed instructions to R.ll the enllmf'r~tors throl1p,h

our training officers to make a suitable symbol for

indicating gurudwara. The houselisting operations

concluded without any untoward infident. )

Organisation of Training Programmes (Houselisting)

Bef ore launch ing mass i ve t ra in i n g programmes

in the field for the entire field census machinery, we

had to keep the instructions, schedules, etc. ready.

The English version of manual of instructions sent by

the Registrar General, India was translated into

Punjabi language together with various types of

schedules that had to be canvassed. Fortunately, in

the Directorate itself officials with sound background

of Punjabi language were available who undertook the

task of translating the schedules taking care in

maintaining the naunces, connotations etc.

Simultaneously, requirement of schedules was also

worked out on the basis of estimated 1991 projected

population and all kinds of requirements of field

cont ingencies were included by way of wastage,

unexpected demands and reserves to be built up at each

charge.

66

Before taking up the training of enumerators,

supervisors, etc. it was thought essential to train

the trainers first as it is they who had to move

around the areas in the State and ensure that all the

definitions and concepts were brought home to everyone

in order to ensure quality in canvassing the

schedules. Therefore, first of all, the training of

Charge Officers/Special Charge Officers was organised

at the district headquarters during 14.5.1990 to

24.5.1990 under the overall control of District/City

Census Officers. This was followed by the training of

enumerators and supervisors.

In all there were three rounds of training of

enumerators and supervisors and the list of officers

and officials who participated in the houselisting

(field) operations is given at Annexure 32. As

already stated, houselisting operation in Punjal:

started on 1st August, 1990 and completed by 15H

August, 1990. Rajpura Sub-Division had achieved the

'distinction of being the first in the State of Punjat

as the work in this Sub-Division was completed by lOti

August, 1990. The progress of houselisting work wa~

Ludhiana Municipal Corporation. In fact, thE

Municipal Corporation was thrown out of gear by thE

last minute decision of the then Deputy Commissioner

67

Ludhiana who cancelled the orders of nearly 200 lady

teachers relating to their appointment as census

enumerators as has already been referred to in this

report. However, after seriously intervening in the

matter, the operations were successfully completed.

Handling and Processing of Forms

Careful handling and processing of different

forms canvassed during the operations is rather more

important. Enumerators were to hand over the

material, both filled in and unfilled to their

supervi sors who in t urn were to arran ge them bloc k-

wise before submission to their respective Charge

Officers. At charge level, these documents were

arranged in a systematic order, block by block, and

made up into separate bundles. As the houselist was

to be filled in duplicate - a copy of the houselist,

copies of the notional map and layout sketch of EBs

were retained in the Charge Office for their use for

carving out of EBs for actual count, re-writing of

charge registers and preparation of Abridged Houselist

(AHL). The Enterprise Lists and Enterprise List

Abstracts were arranged blockwise and sent to the

District Statistical Officers. ~The movement of these )

This was ensured by introducing inventories of records

received for retention in the office.

CHAPTER XI

ENUMERATION

The information collected during Houselisting

Operations is commenced six to eight months in advance

of actual census enumeration. However, in order to

ensure complete coverage of census houses and

households at the time of actual census, an Abridged

Houselist (AHL) has been designed for helping the

enumerator in identifying his area and location of

houses/households in it, besides giving him

opportunity to update it simultaneously. The AHL

contains only the most important essential locational

details copied out in Charge Registers from the

census houselist. These AHL are prepared in each

charge before actual enumeration operations are

launched and are subsequently updated by the

enumerator at the time of actual enumeration. It also

helps in ensuring complete coverage of area during

census enumeration operations. A specimen of the AHL

form can be seen at Annexure 33. I t has three

sections; section 1 is filled up after completion of

census enumeration; section 2 is initi,ally copied from )

the original houselist and section 3 is meant to

record census houses/households not covered in section

2 of the AHL but found by census enumerator at the

time of actual enumeration.

69

Section 2 of the AHL was copied from the

houselist by the clerical staff under the direction of

charge officers in the respective charge offices and

in order to have the AHL ready before launching the

field enumeration operations.

Census Training

The success of organising a complete and

efficient census enormously depends on the efficacy of

the enumeration agency .drawn ftom various State

Government departments and this in turn is related to

the efforts put in by higher census hierarchy who have

to organise rigorous training programmes for the field

machinery. All these have important bearin~ in

maintaining the quality of census data and its full

coverage. I have already detailed upon the system

adopted for impart ing

operations.

The officials

supervised/assisted in

training at both

of my directorate

providing training

these

who

to

enumerators and supervisors for actual enumeration are

detailed 'in Annexure 34. Though, the

officerslofficials of my directorate had been detailed

specially for supervision of field work, they were

also deployed to impart training at almost all the

centres fixed for organising training camps allover

the State. It should be the endeavour of the Sta te

70

directorates to have rigorous training programmes

organised exclusively for the field officers and each

one of them should join such training camps themselves

without fail. This would obviously have a strindent

impac tin bu i ldi n g con f idence amon g the field char ge

officers in fully knowing the concepts and they in

t urn wo u 1 d bed ire c t 1 y he 1 p f u 1 in b r in gin g hom e the

instructions at the grassroots level and thus remain

always available on the spot to field enumeration

agency, viz., particularly the census enumerations and

supervisors who act as 'kingpin' in the whole set up.

In fact, extra rounds of training should be

exclusively organised for census officers and by a

government directive, they should be ordered to

participate in the training camps without fail, even

though· they may plead more often than not to have

remained busy with some other administrative

exigencies.

The training programme for actual enumeration

in Punjab started with effect from the second week of

November, '1990. This I personally feel was done

little late as the time for conducting the main

enumeration operations were closely drawing near. The

prevalent system of three rounds of training was found

adequate. However, there is a nebd to further make it

effective by increasing the duration of training

71

schedule as the instructions for enumeration are found

to have been very exhaustive and time consuming.

Thus, the training programme for one batch should

extend over 5 to 6 hours during the day rather than

limiting it to approximately 3 hours a day. The

general practice of reading the instructions booklet

at the first round of training should be discarded.

It should, however, be limited to orally explaining

each and every question in depth, howsoever, simple it

:nay look to be. This should be followed by holding

practical exercises by filling up few slips in a

neighbouring area where actual/practical difficulties

in filling up responses to questions should be

adequately explained. The filled in slips should be

discussed in the field and demonstrations held to show

how correct and proper answers can be illicited from

varied type of respondents who would confront the

enumerators under different field situations. The

first round of training would make the instruction

booklets more easily understandable to the field

machinery ci·nd when they come for the second round, the

enumerators/supervisors would be ·better prepared for

raising their difficulties and in understanding

various questions and the rationale behind each.

These two rounds of training, though close to each

o t her, s h 0 u 1 d c on c 1 u de we 11 ina d van ceo f t he act u a I

72

enumeration. The third and final round, which is

organised close to the actual enumeration, should be

exclusively devoted to answering the querries and

distribution of blank schedules which are to be

canvassed in the field by thh enum~rator.

The officials available with me who could be detailed

to take charge of training campp were not adequate to cater to

the needs of the requirement of training at all centres. Beset

with the difficulties that the State was not quite conducive for

undertaking journeys at late hours as it was unsafe to travel

during late hours. the Registrar General, India was kind

enough in agreeing to our proposal of permitting officials to

use their own transport. In a way, this induced some

enthusiasm also among the officials who otherwise were

reluctant in undertaking the field task.

Aids used for Census Training

There were two main schedules to be canvassed by

the enumerators during enumeration, viz; the Individual Slip

and the Household Schedule. The individual slip had 23

, questions and their sup-parts while the household schedule had

34 columns to' be filled in. In itia II y, the proposal was to get

these schedules printed through screen printing by using

letters of size readable from a distance of 40-50 feet. The

idea had to be abandoned as the indentor could not do the job

after doing some preliminary work. We were already running

short of time and had to devise an alternate arrangement which

73

could be economical and less time consuming. Each question in

the census schedules was copied out on tracing paper in map

section of my office by using stencils of bigger size and then

their ammonia prints were taken out for supplying a set to

each charge office for using them in the training classes. It

was likely that these could get damaged when frequently being

used. It was. therefore, considered essential to get them

cloth mounted. I may. however. confess that this aid for

training purposes was not very useful to the extent we had

hoped for because of the following reasons :

i) Writing with chalk on the charts was not convenient.

Moreover, in many centres the size of training

classes was too large which further minimised the

use of these charts.

ii) At certain places the training venue was not proper

and these charts could not be displaced and made use

of.

It is suggested to have canvass roll up blackboards

prepared in which details of questions relating to individual

slip and household schedule should be painted to enable

proper demonstration of filling up each question under

different situations.

Conducting of census in a sensitive state like Punjab

was extremely challenging and risky. Therefore. the publicity

programme was kept at a low key and in order to avoid any

adverse effect on the conduct of our work schedule, a message

was issued highlighting and emphasising the usefulness of

74

conducting census in the State. In fact I we approached I in

the first instance, Gurdaspur district which was considered as

a sensitive area then, and is also situated on the international

border and organised our initial training programmes there.

The response was quite warm and we were encouraged to move

forward to cover another border district, i.e. Firozpur and

continued with our training schedule without any let up except

for some hartals and bandhs for which substitute camps were

also organised so as to obviate the difficulty of accumulation

of untrained absentee enumerators/supervisors.

Role of Census Supervisor

The job of supervisors was specifically explained in

the training classes as well as through instructions. It is the

supervisor who had to keep in close personal contact with his

team of enumerators and ensure that they have attended all the

classes and removed their doubts. However, to my dismay I I

found that the supervisors, in many cases, deployed in the

field did not evince keen interest in the ongoing field work

and thus did not substantially contribute either in training his

team of enumerators or exercising any meaningful supervision

despite the fact that they were precisely told about their role

and duties as supervisors. There is a need for issuance of

stricter instructions on the role and participation of

supervisors in census taking. It is the supervisor who has to

carry along with him his enumerators, but in some cases it

-was other way round.

75

Peo~els Response

By and large people I s response in answering to

enumerator1s questions was well received. However, sometimes

the enumerators found difficulty in obtaining

information on questions pertaining to economic

though the

trainers had explained at great length in the training classes

the methodology to be adopted for illiciting factual and

complete responses to these questions. In some cases, the lady

in the household was unable to give full details on economic

activity of the men-folk. Likewise females, in genera], were

not forthcoming in correctl y answedng ahout their

participation, if any, in any economically productive activity

even though her participation has been quite meaningful. In

particular female participation in seasonal activity in small

measure was not responded well and hence the marginal

workers could not be fully covered. Although the coverage

was nearly full, but these two questions need to be given

special emphasis in the training classes and thorough

orientation should be given to the enumerators in recorcHng the

correct answers to these questions so that all the

workers/marginal workers do get covered in the first instance

in question No. 14 of the Individual Slip and subsequently

their details in question No. 15. Similarly, in case of

enumeration of ex-servicemen, it is felt that full coverage

76

could not have been achieved, but there seems to hp some

defect in designing the ex-serviceman's question in

the Slip. Also. the instructions given in the manual

for recording the answers to questions~relating to ex­

servicemen were confusing and could have confounded it

further in the field.

Compl ete coverage of every area is the ma j or

objective of a census taking and every effort is made

to enumerate each and every person without any

omission or duplication. Though, all out efforts were

made by Principal Census Officers and other

functionaries in the districts/tahsils/towns/cities to

have the coverage of population and area ensured,

there could have been some possible loose knots, here

and there, which are, but inevi table in conducting

such magnituduous field operations. The counting of

houseless persons was done on the night of 28th

February, 1991. In view of the disturbing situation

of the State, police protection had been sought to

ensure safe mobility of census field agency.

Release of Pr~visional Population Totals

Releasing of provisional population totals

within a month's time immediately after the census, is

not an easy task. This needs careful planning right

from the lowest level, i.e. the enumeration block.

The Registrar General, India had prescribed an

Enumerator's Working Sheet which the enumerator was

required to complete each day. The total made and

machinery in readiness and geared up for conducting

the field census operations in the State and my first

move was to establ ish a susta ined rapport wi th the

State Government authorities by way of seeking orders

for notifying Local Self and Urban Development

department to functionrs nodal agency for execution of

the census operations also in the State. Immediately,

a proposal was sent to the State Local Self Government

department for issuance of a notification for

appointment of all the Deputy Commissioners and

Commissioners of Municipal Corporations of Amritsar,

Ludhiana and Jalandhar as Principal Census Off icers,

Additional Deputy Commissioners as District Census

Off icers ;

were appointed. as Census Charge Off·ieers for ·census

towns· of Behrampur, Fateh Nangal, Raja Sansi,

Bhikhiwind, Kot lse Khan, Akalgarh, Bhogpur and

Talwara, respectively. Immediately, thereafter I sent

my first circular to all Principal Census Officers,

District Census Officers, City Census Officers and the

Census Charge Officers acquainting them with the

depl oymen t of fie ld hierarchy and genera I gu idel i nes

highlighting importance of census operations and their

involvement in the task as also its timeliness.

As already stated through a State Government

notification No. CA/DIG/Census(1)-90/11973-984 dated

27th March, 1990, temporary posts of 23 Assistants, 73

clerks and 12 peons were created for setting up of

nucleus offices in the field for work connected with

1991 Census. The expenditure involved initially was

to be met by the State Government and finally to be

reimbursed by Government of India. However, it was

80

noticed that some delays entailed in filling up of

these posts by the Commissioners/Deputy Commissioners

for which I had to request the Secretary, Local

Government, Punjab to get it expedited.

Formation of Special Areas/Charges

The census charge officers appointed were

given directions about their role in their respective

j ur isdic t ions prec ise 1 y. However, wi thin the charge

boundary, there are certain areas/establishments which

deserve to be treated as special charge in view of

their specially defined and identifiable entity and

having its own administrative set up, such as, jails,

universities,

publ ic sector

railway colonies, project

undertaking residential

townships,

colonies,

military areas, etc. etc. All such areas were treated

as special areas for which special measures were

adopted. The special charge officers are appointed by

the Principal Census Officers in consultation with

heads of these institutions, and the responsibility of

appointing enumerators and supervisors for canvassing

of census schedules wi thin special charge 1 ies wi th

the special charge officer. The necessary guidelines

in this regard were sent to all) the Principal Census

Officers in the State vide my Circular No.3. In all,

179 areas were treated as special charges.

81

Formation of Enumeration Blocks

As a first preparatory step, the carving of

enumeration blocks (EBs) within the charge, rural or

urban or in special areas, was undertaken by

respective charge officers. The procedure of

delimiting of EBs has already been detailed in Chapter

IX. Simultaneously, each charge officer was alsked to

prepare charge registers so as to ensure that all the

areas, rural or urban, have been covered without any

om iss ion 0 r d u p 1 i cat ion • All this work was done in

the field by the charge officers and for which

detailed guidelines were transmitted vide my Circular

No. 4 and the charge officers were supplied with the

following documents for undertaking demarcation of EBs

and preparation of charge registers

i) List of villages

ii) Lists of Location code of districts, tahsils and urban areas

iii) Lists of Code Nos. of Communi ty Development (CD) blocks

iv) Charge registers

v) Copy bf tahsil maps.

Handling and Processing of Filled in Forms

Of all the things, the systematic and careful \ I

handling and processing of filled fn forms has to be

organised carefully. Necessary instructions in this

regard were issued to field officers, specially

82

assigning the responsibility to be discharged by each

of them. The enumerator was asked to submit all the

filled in schedules as well as unfilled forms to

his/her supervisor who in turn had to arrange them

supervisory circle-wise before submitting them to

their charge officer. In the charge office, the

documen t s were to be arranged blockwise in separa t e

bundles with a sheet affixed on the top of the bundle

indicating name of the State, district, and charge

location code no. The unfilled forms were to be

packed in bundles for each charge for depositing in my

off ice. The supervisors were also required to check

the entries made by the enumerators while making

totals, before submitting the records to their charge

officers. Based on this record, charge officers

prepared chargewise abstract after cross-checking all

the details.

Payment of Honorarium to Enumerators/Supervisors in connection with Houselisting/Economic Census

The methodology evolved for drawal and

disbursement of honorarium by the State Government

hierarchy was detailed in my Circulars No.8 and 12.

Formation of Enumeration Blocks and Preparation of Abridged Houselist

The information collected at the time of

houselisting was to provide the basic frame for ,

.)

formation of enumeration blocks for conducting actual

83

enumera t ion dur ing February-March, 1991. Therefore,

soon after the houselisting operations were over,

important tasks were as follows

i) Recarving of EBs and preparation of charge registers

ii) Preparation of Abridged Houselist.

The respons ibil i ty of del imi t ing EBs,

preparation of charge registers and abridged houselist

lay with the census charge officers and for which

detailed instructions were issued vide my Circular No.9.

Census Calendar

A well thought planning and execution is vital

for successful completion of an operation. It j s •

advance planning. Th us, the c ens usc ale n dar i san

and strictly adhered to, to make this gigantic task a

big success. The census calendar devised in my office

and sent to all the census charge officers is placed

at Annexure 37. . ... \ .... ~" )

Enumeration of Defence/Para Military Personnel A

few villages and towns have special establishments,

etc. which are treated as prohibited areas and

civilians are not allowed entry in such areas.

Whereas the housel is t i ng opera t ions are no t carr ied

out in all such areas, it is at the time of actual

enumeration that these areas are given special

treatment by way of creating special charges for which

a strictly restricted procedure is followed to ensure

that the classified or sensitive information is not

available either in published volumes or in a routine

manner in our official files. Instructions in this

regard were issued to all the Principal Census

Officers in the State vide my Circular No. 11,

requesting them to get in touch with the Defence/Para

military organisations within their jurisdictions for

'formation of special charges and delineating EBs

within them and also ensure that no unit or personnel

of any unit of Defence, Para-military organisations

are left uncovered in the census count.

Numbering of Individual Slips and Household Schedule Pads

The numbering of every individual slip pad and

household schedule books was to be undertaken before

these were distributed among the enumerators. This,

on the one hand, enables avoidance of pads and books

getting missed and mixed up in the field and on the

other, it ensures receipt of all filled in and

unfilled census schedules in the charge/district

offices and subsequently their orderly and systematic

transmission to the Regional Tabulation Offices

(RTOs). The system of numbering of individual 51 ip

pads and household schedule books was explained to all

the census charge officers vide my Circular No. 13.

Distribution of Census Forms and Schedules for Actual Enumeration

85

The following schedules/forms distributed

among the enumerators/supervisors for canvassing them

in the field during 9th February to 28th February,1991:

i) Format for preparing layout sketch and notional map of the block

ii) Abridged houselist

Household schedule

Individual slip pads

ii i)

iv)

v) Working sheet for Abstract

preparing Enumerator's

vi) Post Graduate Degree Holder and Technical Personnel Schedule

vii) Enumerator's Inventory forms

viii) Supervisor's Inventory form.

The above material was packed in my office,

chargewise, and sent to census charge officers in

convenient and manageable packets for distribution

among their enumerators/supervisors in accordance with

the instructions contained in my Circular No. 14.

Award of Census Medals and Merit Certificates

It is now customary for the census

organisation to award census medals and meritorious

certificates to a few who exhibit great zeal and

outstanding performance in the work of census taking. '\

It is really difficult to'adopt a 10~l-proof system of

awarding these medals and the assessment of

performance of enumerator or supervisor rests with the

census charge officers. Moreover, since the

86

responsibility of field operations basically lies with

the census charge off icers, it is in the fitness of

things that the census charge officers also evaluate

the performance of their enumerators/supervisors.

Therefore, the award of census medals for 1991 Census

solely depends on the recommendations of Principal/

District Census Officers. In all, 542 medals have

been awarded in the State, out of which 277 are silver

and 265 bronze.

The circulars issued by my directorate are

placed at Annexures 38 to 51.

ClU\P1'ER X I I I

POST ENUMERATION CHECK AND CENSUS EVALUATION STUDY

Immediately after conducting the enumeration

operations in the State and setti~g up of the Regional .J

Tabulation Offices, the directorate launched studies

relating to Post Enumeration Check (PEC) and Census

Evaluation Study (CES). The conducting of PF,C and CI':S

after the main census enumeration has almost become a

regular feature since 1971. The main objective of

carrying out these surveys is to provide an assessment

of the quality of coverage and content of census

enumeration. In the State the studies wcrr. condllcted

in 35 SRS blocks (22 rural and l~ Ilrhan) nnd thp

selection of these blocks was done by the Vita]

Statistics Division of Registrar General, India's

office. This study involves census as well as SRS

data. Therefore, it is necessary that the census

enumeration block and SRS block match fully and that

is why while delineating EBs for census, necessary

care was taken that the census EB ~emajns coterminous

with SRS block.

Director (now Deputy Director) had participated from

my office. In the directorate, two rounds of training

were organ i sed f or the of f icers and s t af f as soc i a t ed

with these surveys wherein representative from

Registrar General's office also participated.

The studies had to be conducted by the

Assistant Compilers/Computers in the directorate and

supervised by Statistical Assistants/Investigators and

other officers. In order to maintain independence of

re-listing and re-enumeration operations, different

sets of persons were engaged for the two operations.

Census Evaluation Study (CES)

The main objective of conducting the CES is to

quantify the extent of omIssion of children at younger

ages and also to ascertain the correctness of age­

reporting of children in the census with the help of

birth records in the Sample Registration Scheme (SRS).

This was conducted in 20 per cent of the sub-sample of

SRS blocks and involved following steps

89

i) Listing of births occurring in thf' RPlectf'n

SRS blocks from 1.3.1984 to 2U.2.1991 i[1

Section 1 of CES form. This was done in four

stages.

ii) Filling up of household matching form (CES)

[A I •

Stages of Work in CES

The first step involved filling up of

household matching form (CES) IAI and filling of cols.

1-4 of this form from SRS form I and II, i.e. Houselist

and Household Schedule. This study involved following

stages of work :

i) Copying out all the births occurring in all

the households in the unit from 1.3.1984 to

28.2.1991 in CES form 1, cols. 4-10 from form

10 (Part A) of SRS.

ii) Filling up of CES form IHI for fad]Hnting

desk matching and field reconciliation of

entries.

Post Enumeration Check (PEG)

In all, 120 blocks were allotted for Post

Enumeration Check in the State. The objective of the

PEC survey is to quantify the coverage of error and

content error. Three schedules: PEC form I, PEC form

II and PEC form III were canvassed in the field. The

PEC form I and II related to the coverage of error and

form III to content error.

90

Stages of Work in PEG

There were three stages of work in conducting

PEG which are as follows:

i) Listing and enumeration

a) re-listing of

selected EBs;

all the census houses

b) re-enumerating all the members of 10%

sample of households which have

enumerated in the census; and

c) collecting certain particulars like,

in

sub-

been

age,

lit era c y, e con om i c act i v i t y, etc. i n res p e c t

of individuals in the 10% sub-sample of census

households.

i i ) Desk Matching between PEe and the

corresponding census records.

iii) Field reconciliation about the particulars of

the houselists or individuals the entries in respect of

whom did not unequivocally match between the PEG and

relevant census records.

I am glad that despite confronting various

field constraints, the PEG and CES surveys were

successfully conducted in the State according to the

schedule laid but it took us little more time than

prescribed to complete all the field details connected

with the canvassing of PEG and GES schedules as the

officers and officials had to be detaiJed from the

State headquarters to various units selected far and

wide. Th ere for e, the fie 1 d age n c y had t 0 be pro per 1 y

motivated, oriented to visit the units and carry out

91

the wo r k wit h the he 1 p 0 flo cal aut h 0 r i tie s but for

which this could not have been completed efficiently.

Difficulties~ however, came in our way by way of proper

identification of the boundaries of SRS villages which

had been segmented. However, this, though, entailed

several visits back and forth to the State Headquarters,

the field officials could complete the job in keeping

with the prescribed instructions issued by the RGI. The

resul ts of the PEC and CES have not yet been released

and, therefore, I am unable to comment on their outcome.

CHAPTER XIV

CONCLUSION

The successful completion of large scale human

headcount in the Punjab State, beset with unusual

disturbed conditions for a long period, was itself a

lifetime challenge. It would not have been possible

for me to have seen the happy ending of this noble

task in time but for the dedicated services rendered

by the staff of Punjab Census Directorate in

particular and the huge State machinery at large. In

the beginning, though the operational aspect of census

taking appeared difficult under the

conditions, yet the warm public

administration's cooperation at all

then prevailing

response and

levels was so

overwhelming that success looked a certainty.

As I took over, things looked full of

uncertainties. Du e to un s tab 1 e con d i t ion s, i t wa s

believed that the accomplishment of this task would be

fraught with insurmountable difficulties. But my

confidence gradually grew once the cooperation of

administration at top level

department was assured. I

and my colleagues in the

form u 1 ted qui c k p] a n sin

organising and deployment of almost the entire staff

in the field with instructions to keep in constant

contact with the census hierarchy at all levels in the

93

districts, tahsils, towns and cities and m~ke

themselves readily available for imparting guidancp in

launching the preparatory work for houselisting ~nd

enumeration. I also sought for feedback from the

field officers regularly and kept myself abreast of

the day-to-day field situations. During my tours, I

also met and discussed problems with Divisional

Commissioners, Commissioners of Municipal Corporations

and Deputy Cormnissioners. This helped me to have the

feel of the field and enabled me to issue on-the-spot

instructions.

Subsequent to the issuance of the State

notifications regarding appointment of census officers

at various levels and finalisation of rural-urban

frame of the State, it was my foremost duty to

organise training to the district level census

officers who in turn arranged training for ch:1rgc

officers in their respective districts. The cha rge

off icers were asked to chalk out training prograrrlfnes

for enumerators/supervisors to enable officials of the

census dir~ctorate also becoming available for on-the-

spot guidance and training. Th e c e n t res 0 f t r a i n i n g

had to be chosen in such a way that small batches of

t r a i nee s co U 1 d be call ed a t on e pIa c e . This enahled

the trainees to interact with the census training

officers and also help in removing their doubts. We

94

also found that in organising large training classes,

clarity in explaining various concepts suffers. Thus,

sufficient advance planning and coordination is

required in fixing up training centres at convenient

places to enable participation of reasonable 'number of

enumerators. In each operation of houselisting and

enumeration three rounds of training were organised

with separate training classes for absentees, wherever

required.

About the main census Questionnaire, I feel

that main questions. i.e. Individual Slip is too much

overloaded which is not conducive for eliciting direct

responses. Also instruction manuals are quite bulky

whereas the definitions, concepts and explanations

with citation of several examples and illustrations

confuse and overload the mind and intellect of the

enumerator. Instead, a small questionnaire with

important demographic and economic questions could

ensure quality and full coverage of data collection.

While manning future censuses. we must also

keep in view the future growth of populatjon and do

hard thinking now as

the requisite size

to whether a large workforce of

and magnitude would become

available in future as also could the resources of the

requisite magnitude become available in carrying out

the operational details of census taking and computing

95

of its results. It is also doubtful to visualise as

to whether a meagre honorarium as given during the

present census, would serve an incentive to motivate

the field machinery for executing the operational part

of the census taking.

The multiplicity and emergence of urban

centres and the growth patterns of the existing ones

would, I believe, pose, by and large, imponderable

difficulties in conducting future censuses due

particularly to the inherent complexities prevailing

among urban inhabitants coupled with their inadequate

res p 0 n s e s vis - a -v i s the r u r a 1 f 0 1 kat 1 a r g e .

Admittedly, the canvassing of census qu~stionnaires or

for that matter any surveys that are being conducted

by other agencies as we] 1 in rural areClS clrClw milch

more encouraging responses largely devoiding

editing processes being undertaken in RTOs in respect

of q II e El t ion El 1 j k e W(l r k c r.q, tTl i p r n t ion i1 n ( I f (' r t i J i I Y •

On the other hand, the urban environment and high

mobility of the urbanites cause several constraints in

undertaking 'their full coverage and recording of data

adequately. In fact, with more and more sinr,le

households coming into being in highly urbanised

centres and the inability of the enumerators in

catching them on the spot due to their frequent

absence from their residences poses yet another

96

problem of deficient enumeration. Keeping the above

aspects in view, it is time that pilot exercises are

undertaken for remodeling the concept of keeping the

census EBs in urban areas. Not only that the size of

population of an EB (urban) should be reduced from

120 households or

population, but

undertaken in

600 persons to 100 households or 500

full scale surveys should be

collaboration with local bodies,

Municipal Corporations, etc. for doing advanced ground

work in revising the framing of EBs of urban areas

enabling, therefore, minimal workload at the time of

launching census operations, viz; Houselisting and

Enumeration by way of making updation required in

cases of changes tha t wou ld take pI a ce by or be fore

the end of the year, 1998.

The data collection in case of questions No.2

to 15, viz; sex, age, marital status, SC/ST, literacy

and educational attainment, attending college/school,

language, religion, economic questions, should be

continued. However, questions No. 16 to 17

seeking/available for work and ex-servicemen should be

dropped, as there are more alternate ~O\lrf:e~ of

information, like Employment Exchanges and Sainik

Board, Military Record Offices, etc. available in the

country. In fact, while canvassing question 16 of the

Individual Slip, the enumerator invariably skips

97

asking this question, particularly in case of Non-

workers. As regards questions on migration and

fertility, except for question No. 23 (No. of chi I<lren

born last year), these should be canvassed during the

intercensal period in selected areas by adoption of a

sui tab 1 e s amp 1 in g des i g n wh i c h co u 1 d g i vee f fie i e n t

estimates of migration and fertility trends.

Household schedules should, however, be continued as a

rna t chi n g form 0 f the I n d i v i d u a 1 S 1 i P . It is also

desirable to open research and development cells in

the state directorates, where innovative methodologies

should be evolved and used in designing questionnaires

and testing them in the field during intercensal

period. Infact, case studies should be conducted so

that the questions which are not response oriented

could be listed out from the questionnaire. The above

measures would, I presume, keep the census

organisation in a state of vibration and obviate the

sluggishness and apathy that creeps into the psyche of

the census staff during the intercensal period. It is

like keepi'ng a grounded vehicle efficient and speed

worthy before actual census taking in the directorates

is organised.

It will be very useful, if data compiled in

the directorates is published in the form of

analytical papers, before the entire variety of data

98

are published in the prescribed census volumes. It

should be released in small volumes/papers without

stereotype commentries. An introduction of the data

contained with analytical details to the barest

minimum should be given for data users, scholars and

government agencies. It should be made incumbent upon

the state census directorates to make data available

as quickly as possible. It is unfortunate that at

present the data users have to wait for very long to i

procure the census volumes, which takes long time to

print in the present scheme of things.

The field experiences have also revealed that

the Houselisting Operations get overloaded on account

of simultaneous canvassing of the Enterprise List.

The Enterprise List itself is too much detailed and

needs to be taken up separately for canvassing by an

independent agency. What we have found is that the

whole gamut of canvassing the Enterprise List rests on

the census organisation while the agency responsible

for rendering assistance in training the staff and

supervising' its field operations do not evince as much

interest. It is, therefore, necess~ry that the State

agency selected for its implementation should keep

itself available in the field at the time for

supervising the canvassing of Enterprise List and

fully undertake the training of the field staff.

99

There is every need that the manurll of

instructions should be finalised well in advance so

that the census directorate staff should be able to do

the training rehearsals well in advance to prepare

them for heavy field training programmes. I am afraid

that most of the senior staff of the State Census

Directorates would have superannuated by 1998 and,

therefore, it is imperative to keep remaining staff

fully trained in advance in taking up the field

supervision and training of census machinery.

In spite of my complexities and constraints,

was able to see the successful completion of the field

operations. The provisional figures were conveyed to

the Registrar General, India on 6th March, 1991, well

ahead of time schedule laid down by the Registrar

General, India. The provisional figures of the State

were released in Paper 1 on 26th March, 1991. Later,

the detailed data relating to provisional population

with break up into rural and urban areas, work force,

etc. was released on 6th May, 1992.

The census records started pouring in the

Regional Tabulation Offices in f'ime and by IIrril 1991,

our RTOs were ready to take up compilation of l'rimary

Census Abstract. This gave me a considerable

satisfaction though the compilation of tabulation data

was another challenging task.

100

Summing up the whole gamut of operations, it

was on the whole an exhalirating experience for me to

have known the people of different regions like,

Majha, Malwa, Doaba of the State. In fact, census

throws enormous opportunities of gaining an insight

into the whole fabric of our society particularly,

about their living habits, cultural traits and their

social and economic life.

Wi th all said and done, I leave it to my

successor to formulate his own plans and prograrrmes

for undertaking next census. I am sure new situations

would emerge and confront him by way of heavy

population increase, addition of new districts, etc.

A 1 so, he wo u 1 d h ave tor a i sea n d t r a ina hug e fie 1 d

work force for conducting the operation in the entire

state expectedly to grow in population size in the

year 2001. However, my personal view is that each

operational detail should be planned first on the

desk, much in advance of the houselisting operations

and each programme of ac t ion shou I d be evo I ved and

executed with 'the active cooperation of the district,

tahsil, town, city census hjerarchy. The field

functionaries that would be notified by the State

Government would have to be constantly exhorted and

energised unt il all the field operations are

101

accomplished. 1 am of the firm helief that if the

Director Census Operations is in position in the first

quarter of the year 1998, he will not only have an

opportunity in acquainting with the technical details

of census taking but would also be in a position to

formulate his plans and programmes at each. Wha tis

more, he would have ample opportunity in interacting

with top hiearchy in the State Government enabling him

to carry the entire district/tahsilltown/city census

hierarchy with him.

REPORT ON SECOND PRETEsr - 1991 CENSUS

(PUNJ AB)

In the first week of March 1 ~9 this Directorate was sounded about the Second Pretest during June-July 1~9. As the enumerators for this Pretest were to be taken froID

the state agencies, the Directorate took up the issue with the Chief Secretary to Govt. of Punjab for obtaining neceesax

assistance for the field work. With the vi~orous efforts at personal level, the Department of General Administration.

Govt. of Punjab, issued instluctions to the Education Depart­

ment and the Department of Local Government and Urban

Development for renderin~ necessary assistance vide their

letter WOe 18/61/89-GC(5)/4925, dated 21 at April. 1 ~9

(Copy enclosed as Annexure 'A').

Initially 20 enumeration ilocks were to be selected,

10 each from rural and urban areas. fhhsequently, the

instructions were revised and the numaer of enumeration

ilocke for conductin~ the Second Pretest was reduced to

10 enumeration 'bloCks, to ie located 5 each in rural and urban areas. The particulars of the enumeration IIlocks

identified for conductin~ the Second Pretest are given hereunder I

Appointment of Enumerators Even though the Punjab Governmen't issued instIuctions

to its departments for rendering necessary assistance in enumeration, it was observed that the instructions had not been passed on to the lower levels from \>lhere the appointment of enumerators for the field work was to be made. The Deputy Director and the Assistant Directors had to lUsh to various agencies for obtaining necessary permission for the officials working under them for enumeration work. They had to turn to the District Education Officers, Executive Officers of the municipalities as aleo to the lowest level of Block Education Officers. The isslie could be sorted out only in the first week of June 1939. A.s advised by the ORG, the Slpervieora were deputed from the ~irectorate for supervising houseliatin! and enumeration.

Procurement or Schedules and Instructions Booklets It was decided that the schedules for the Second

Pretest WOL'.ld be canvassed in the regional lan~at;e, i.e. Punjabi in the state. Accordin~ly. this Directorate was provided schedules 1n English for preparin~ artpu1ls in Punjab! version. There is always a difference between the spoken and the written language. The Directorate bas a number of officiale who. thou~h were quite conversant with the spoken version of Punjabi, but were not perfect in the written version of Punjab!, A team was, however, constituted of four officiale who, after doin~ lot of labour, were able to prepare Punjabi version of the schedules - Houselist. Individual Slip and Household Schedule. The artpulls were ~ot prepared for these schedules and sent to ORG for printin~. The printed copies were :received from the Pr1n,tin~ Divia10n of ORG well in time for further distrilution.

The schedules pertainin~ to Enterprise List and ito Abstract were provided in,~Punjabi 8y the Office of Economic Adviser, Punjab.

:-3-:

~e to lack of Punjabi perfectionists in the Directorate and a1ao due to paucity of time, the instruction: booklets for Houaelisting, Individual Slip ruld Household Schedules received in English from ORG could not be got translated in Punjabi. The instructions for Enterprise List in Punjabi were, however, received from the Economic Adviser. Punjab.

Training Prot!ra,mme

The supervisors appointed for supervising enumeration work were, in the first instance, imparted training in the Directorate itself. Their training' was arranged through

\

instructions booklets. As theBe officials had undergone the operation of First Pretest, they had no difficulty in graspin~ the concepts of the census operations. For the

trainin~ of enumerators, who were drawn from the State Government departments, 4 training centres were arranged, one each in the municipal committee office at Khanna and Samraln (District Ludhlana) and Garhenrurucar (District HOBhiarpur) and one at Balachaur (aleo District Hoshiarpur).

During the course of training the enumerators 1:1ere

given practical demonstration in the filling up of ocheuulea

and the respondents therefor were picked up from the staff of the training centres.

A communication was received from ORG (Letter ~o. 9/22/89-CD(Cen), dated 12.6.89) advising us to arrange four training sessions for the field staff. The belated receipt of the circular letter could not help us in doing the needful aa the training st~ff was already in the field and subse­quently 2 holidays intervened between the conclusion of our training and the start of the field operations.

Identification of EBs and Selection of Enumerators

Prior to the start of the field operations. the ofncials of this Directorate visited various rural and urban areas in the district s of Ludh!ana and HOBh!arpur for identifying enumeration blocks and also for identifying the field workers. During their visit they had meetings with Executive Officers of the municipalities and also with the District EdUCation Officers for arranging the nomination of the field workers. The details of the enumeration blocks selected ao also the enumerators and of supervisors are ~iven below:

Field OperatioQs

The field operations were conducted in accordance with the Pretest schedule laid down by the ORG. The calendar of pretesting operations is given belo\i

June 19 - 22 : HouseUstin,; 1) Preparation of layout ~etcheB, notional maps

and house-nwnberint;; and

2) Canvassing of Houselist; and Enterprise List.

June 23 - July 1 : Enumeration 1) Canvassing of Individual Slip and Household

Schedule; and 2) Enumeration of Houseless population on the

night of July 7, 1S89.

,rq1:r 8 - 10 : &yi8iona1 Round Revisionsl round was conducted with reference date as sun-rise of July 8, 1939.

Field Experiences and Observations i) Census Schedules t It would have been ideal if the enumerators were provided the instructions booltlets in the regional langu?~e. As indicated earlier, this, however, could not be done. The supervisors, who belonged to this Directorate and had also acted as trainers alongio/ith the officers, were well conversant with the intricacies of census operations. They made intensive use of the InstI'Uc~ tions booklets which were prepared for 1S81 census in Punjabi at places where there was no variation between 1981 and 1991 questions. In case of variations they used instructions booklets in English provided by the ORG. This exercise created lot of burden on the supervisors and BS a result

thereof, they had to run from one enumeration block to another for sorting out the doubts of the enumerators.

--6-­. .

It is felt that if sufficient n~ber of copies of the instructions booklets in English could have been supplied to this Directorate well in advance, the Directorate tiould have been able to get the Punjabi version prepared by

constitutinB some teams and distributing the pages among them. Later on, these could have been bunched together and improved upon with the help of the experts in the

Pl.lJ)jabi language in the Language Department of the Punjab Govemment.

ii) Enterprise List In the case of Enterprise List the schedules re~eived were in a cycloatyled form, duplicated on a very poor ~lality of paper. This resulted not only in the inconvenience to the field staff but also created problems of legibility and ~ace for entries. Similarly, the instructions for the Enterprise List were also in a cyclo­styled form which aleo created problem of legibility.

By and large, the enumerators had no problem in canvassing the !!ouaelist, Individual Slip and Household Schedule. There have been, however, some field observations which are worth-mentionlng and are given helow :

Indi vidual Sli,ll

a) Age: There was no problem in getting response to this question but in case of some elderly ladles a~e could be arrived at by deeper probing by considerir..g the age of their children. Strantely, such cases were observed in the enumeration blocks of Khanna town.

b) Mother Tongue: In numerous cases the respondents hesitated to divulge their mother tongue 1n the presence of members of the other community whiCh got around in the enumeration blocks out of curiosity during enumeration. Their hesitation was on account of fear-psychosis.

c) Religion: In the households where the members belonged to different religions the enumerators faced problem a3 the information 1n most of the Cases wae given by the heads of households. Being a Pretest, the results may not be significant but 80me consideration has to be given for eliCiting correct information, if possible.

:-1-:

d) Worker: In Q. 14(a), an inc1ividual Is to be cla8sifj.t;(1

in the category of 'Yee/'t-To'. when f..wkel) about ilis/her \/olk

any time last year. In few Cases the enwner3.tors took even

the worker as 'retired' in the category of' ']\To' instead of

classifying into the cate£7;ory 'yes' flS he 'Has engaged in

economic act! vi ty even a.fter retirement. Til! f3 tlappened

because the respondents were not willing to be consider~a

as 'workers'. The correct answers were eliCited by creating

confidence in the respondent a in the proce ss of census takinp,.

Some of the individuals who were retired and engaged

in economic ,'leti vi ty insisted to be cateeori sed as 'retired'

persons only, as according to them, if they were not tr'Cnt.ed

ae 'retired' persona, the figuree tc:r 'retired' persona in

the ceneus would etand deflated. Obviously, these persons

were more concerned ahout the tabUlation aspect of the

census leaving aside the enumeration aspect.

Perhape, the categories given under 'No', especially

the 'retired' need some more explanation in the Individual

Slip. This problem was observed in the enumeration blocks

of Mutton and Sebala, falling in Ludhiana district.

e) Migration ~estion 18 relating to 'Birth Place' and

Q. 19 relating to 'Last Residence', also created some

difficult situations for the enumeratori3. The females,

whose mother gave them birth in their reepective mother's

places were not prepared to tell the real place of birth.

They rather insisted upon their mother's place to be recorded

as their place·of birth (such reaction was not observed in

Case of male respondents). This 'Was observed in the rural

block of Hutton. In :rural block of Sebala, persons who

returned to their original place after retirement from

service did not want to be conoioered as migrants as they

had left behind their familiee. It was only after deep

probin~ by the enumerator and the supervisor that the

correct place of 'Last Residence' could be listed in the

Individual Slip. In addition, the ex-servicemen I:'cfused

to divulge their place of 'Laet Residence' for security

reaaons as that happened to be their place of postinc.

:-8-:

In urban blocks of Khanna (Die:l'ict Ludhiana) it

vTaS observed that some families from Pakistan had mic:rated

in India about 18/19 years back. This \-las a peculiar feature which was not observed in any of the other blocks.

f) Fertility The enumerators faced problem in oolicitlng infonnation under Q. 22( c) relating to the number of children ever born alive. The ladies became hesitant and sentimental as they did not want to refresh their memories abo\lt their dead childl~n. especially, those ladies who did not have oubsequent birtbs after the death of their child. This

was observed in ~ral block of Mutton and urban hlocks of Samrala and Kher.na (District Ludhiana).

~umeration of Houseless Population

No attempt was made to enumerate houaeleas popul~tion in the enumeration blocks selected for the Pretest. During the revisional rounds, intensive enquiries were made in the field atout the preocnce of hOllseles!:J peroons within the block boundar~.ba.. It was observed that du~ to the fear­psychosis on account of terrorists- activities in the state, everyone has arranged ~helter and none sleeps in the common place. Even otherwise, the resident~ of the locality do not penult anybody to Bleep at such places. Hor£over, the security personnel who make regular rounds of the areas, round up such people. As such, no housele 08 peI'son could be enumerated.

regree Holder Card

Quite a number of graduates showed little interest in filling up Degree Holder Cards. According to them, this was a useless exercise as these details would not help them in getting employment. These feelings were quite otrong in the enumeration blocks of Ga.rhshankar of Hosbiarpur district.

Enterpri se r,lat

Though the heads of households willingly gave the information about the enterprises the other members of the

• - o_. . -:; .

houochol do whr) were CdllCrltcd anl1 dolnr~ petty \·rorlr fel t "hy

of gi vine; details. The information HBB, hO'rlever, obtained through the heads of the households. This problem Has observed in urban blocks of Khanna (District Ludhiana.) fJlId

also urban blocks of Garhshankar (District Hoohiflrpur).

General Observations

Timing of PreteQt: The timingo set for the Pre tent in Punjab were quite unsuitable. Being summer vacations, it was difficult to ide~tify and locate teachers for deplo3ment. Tbe offioials expressed their unwillingness for using their vacations in this operation; as according to them, this wan , the only time available to them fer attendinr, to their

1.

family affairs.

Besides. this being the peak of the summer, the enumerators faced lot of inconvenience in conducting enumeration. Practically, they were in the field either in the morning or in the evening or both but certainly did not ~o for work during day-time.

Initially, they started with a zeal as they were prompted by the officials of the Directorate but later on they preferred not to work durine day-time.

We had problems in eliciting information, especially, when the enumerator and respondent happened to belong to c.afferent communities. In such cases. the female members, in particular, directed the enumerators to contact their male members for·information. As male members happened to be at their place of work, the enumerators were put to inconvenience by attendin~ to different contact pointe. This was observeo in almost all the enumeration bloc...'t.e.

All the enumerators complained that the time period given to them for completing the hou8el1st:tn~ e.nd emuneration was not eufficient. The enumerators' indication abou.t the number of hours put in every day and the time period required for these two operations are given below:

It was observed that the enumerators, in the first

instance, took about 12 ~inutea to c~mplete an Individual

Slip. After filling up few individual slips, the time

conmlmption came nown to 7-8 minutes.

The :respondents felt irritant when the enumerators

visited theI!! for canvassing individual Blip and housenold schedule. They \'Jere of the opinion that thls should have

, been combined with houselioting and the information should

have been collected in a sin~le visit. They did not \o{ant

to waste time on government surveys which, according to them, did not result in any benefit to the respondents.

They considered it sheer wastage of time. In effect, they

were fed up with surveys and censuses, which according to

them had become every day affair.

The enumerators complained about t.he printiTlg of

the schedules. They desired printi!18 in bolder letters.

The enumerators felt that had there been some publicity

ahout these operat~ons their task would have been easier.

The enumerators also desired that hand-baBs should be given

at the time of full Census for keeping papers in shape •

We should at this stage take stock of all these changes

and update our own frame. To achieve this, you will be

required to obtain lists of the districts and tahsils/ .

talukas .etc. and compare the same. wi:t.h the corresponding

1981 lists. Jurisdictional changes ~re made by governmen~

notifications delineating or modifying areas. You should

obtain copies of such notifications in support of all

changes that have taken 'place after 1981 census·if not

already received.

3. You should .also obtain lists of villages from

the state Govern~nt (Revenue Dep2rtrrent) and compare the

same with your 1981 lists. Discrepancies should be re­

concil~d to enSure one to one correspondence. The village

lists should comprise not only the ir,r,2bited ones, but

also the uninhabited on~s. Within a village there sould . \

also be hamlets. You should obtain lists of all such .. hamlets and compare the same with your circle and charge '-

registers. This process can be expedi tsd by sending a COpT'

of the 1981 list tQ each "Tahsildar EtC. for updating.

4. - .

As you know, the state gover~~ents establish

local bodies (municipalities etc.) within their jurisdict-

ions by notification in_ the official gazettE. These noti­

Subject: Classification of Rural and Urban Units -.1991 Census

My dear

In connecti on wi th the 1991 Census t the first and foremost task to bo handled by you is the demarcation of places as rural and urban., The definition of an nrba"l1. lUli t. at the 1981' Census Was as fo110\1S.:-

a) A.ll places "'1i th a municipality, corporation, oantonment board or notified tcwn area commi ttee, etc.

b) All other. plaoes which fJatiafl ad the i'olloJlj,.r.f, ori teria: .

i) A minimum population of 5,000;

1i) At least 75 per cent of male ;'Iorking pOJlulation engaged in non-agricultural pu.rsui ts; and

.iii) A density of population of at lea.st 400 per ~qo km$ '(1 ,000 ~er sqft rnile)~

Apart from the places to be classified as urban on the basis of the above definition, the Directors were also given some discretionar;y plJiierS in respect of some marginal caBeu to include, in consultation vJJ.th the f-~tate Governments, some places that had other distinct u.r ban characteristics ane. to exclude certain areas 'vlhich could not be considnl'ed a6 Ul' ban~

" •. 2/-

2.'V , It is proposed to retain the same definition at the ,1991 Census,' as ,this will ensure comparability with previous Censuses, and provide, tb,e basis for analysis of trends of

:"urbanisation in the 00l.l.ntry.

~SUS OF INDIA 1991-CIRCULAR No.7

Subje~c'- :Jrqanisation of Census of India; 1991-General Instructions.

My dear

On assuming charge of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, I have great pleasure in issuing this prime circular which purports to present certain broad details and general instructions pertaining to the organisation of the Census of India, 1991. This may serve as a general introduction to the mammoth task ahead of us and the frame work in which we have to operate.

2. I am Sure by now, you are familiar, by and large, with the preparatory work for the 1991 Census. The Circulars issued so far have covered some of the important items of the prepara­tory work. I propose to continue issuing detailed circulars on specific and impnrtant issues. I would like to emphasise that these circulars and instructions must be gone into ~ry ~refully since, one h~s to pay attention even to the minutest detail in the Census.

3. Census, as you are aware, is the main source of population data in the country. Its chief merit lies in giving demographic data even at the micro level like a village or an enumera tion block :.n a town. ).8 has been the tradi Hon of the Indian Cen:ms, thj~, opportunity is also taken to collect information on housing stock and ~n economi~'units such as enterprises. The Indian census has the distinction of having had an unbroken series of decennial censuses for over hundred years and we f!an look back ,.,i th pride to the fact that we are now involved in continuing thi5 tradition. EVen though the census is taken once in ten years, yet it is part of a continuing statistical system and the data it provides are of basic im~rtance for a variety of purposes.

• •• 2/-

4. Th~houselisting and popul~tion census in our country constitute, the biggest administrative operation qnd involve a conside::a1:>],e investJnent in terms of time, money and manpm-ler,

, It is, th~refot~l, essential th~t the objectives of the census are completely met in terms of total c~verager accuracy and timeliness. 'This is where qll of US have a special respon:;i .. b+:J.ity. :As·,you are already ,aw9.re, one of the major objectives of. th~ 1991 Cen.sus would be to p:!;,ovide c1atCl for small areas for looal. gra:s.sroo,t pl.anning exercises. ~Je have agreed that an important obj ec;:t1ve of this census would be to provide specif.ic tapulati,qn.$" ~nd, aggregations for, small .area,s such as the village ,it,self,or the'~ity block~ 'Which wOUlp mean that in terms of accuracy, the sperations: nave' to be fool~rPof. It is also essential, fQr ,us: ::t;.o,,~anenPer .that the ceIlsu~ provides frames for further,surveys and o-ther stati'stica'l proqrarmnes. The data generated and the fonus which v.'Ould uJ. timately be available s1"-oo1d, therefore, be of abiding int,erest and utili ey.

5. I am enol-osing tI!tlo organisational charts which explain the organisation of my office and that in the States. Unlike three decades ago, we have the advantage of having among our colleagues in;.tl)is deoartmertt today well qIlalified statisticians, demographe~. cartographers, ,'computer ,speoi~lists and sociologists who ;togeth~r. c;:onst:l tute a pool Qf ~xpertiGe. I would sugg~st that you ,should constantly consult the Joint/Deputy Director$, l\ssistant Di're<;!toJ::'s ·and others at the appropriate level in your office ancl, getlerally inv:olve,all of them in major decisions t:brough staff/meetings. ~s you will find later, the census bperations, dan be conducted with the total involvement of all four staff~. ,speoially in the training programmes and in the supervision of the (lperation4 I am sure you will dra\·, the best out of yo~r :C91Iea~es.

6.' , . The Director of Census Operations is almost the sale driving force'for the sucoessful condUct of the census. You would have 'to energise the state hierarchies which are not under your aclninistrative control and through them you will have to get a mammoth task completed. We cannot and should not' under-estimate both the responsibilities and the difficulties that this situation entails. Obviously, the su.ccess of ;the census would depend on you.!:' ability to carry along senio~ officers and others in your ~t,ate with you and get things done through a systEm of personal interventiOn;, and aon'tqct which I am confident you will dQ. It is essential that attention is paid to every' single detail in the preparations of t.he census ~eaving nothing to' chance. In fact, you would hav~ to. not,~erely ~ssue clear-cut circulars and instructions but also :Jet up an efficient :progress repQrting system for your~elf. "

-3-7. It has been the ,tradition to. cond~C~ the census, through the State Government mach~nery. ·Th~ basio and essential functionary is the Enumerator wh<b is,' by and large, a pri'T1aey sohoel teadher. Usuaily, flve'enumerator~ have a Supervisor who 1s generally of the rank of a Revenue Inspeotor or the . equivalent level while for each tahsil/taluk/polic(:! s.tatibn/ developnent blook or similar aX',. there \lould be, a Sh~rSle QffiqE2r or fi'ger1Dlcendent who' would be the Tehsildar. or f>1.amalfltclar/B ock pevelopment Officer, ete. If the chatge area is too big, there may arise the necessity for appointing Additional or SUb-oharge Office'rs. At the subd1visional'1~vel, the SWb-divisional Officer or Sup-collector can be roped. in as a SUb-divis1ona~ Census 'supervisory off:lc:ar. l1t the d;f.stri.ct level, the usual pt'aot~ce is: to appoint the ofti~er who is . equivalent to the Additional colleotor or Add! tional oeputy , CommiSsioner as the ~i~~ict c~risu~ pf£1cer, The collecbor or 'the'Deputy Commissiclner of the district \-K)uld, of course, be the Prinoipal Census Officer for the district, while for the' . areas ·~h1ch. are'municipal oorporations, the M~nicipal comrnissione~ would f\lnetion' as such. This is broadly the system, but ! would suggest that you study in great detail the acininistrative reports of your Preaee:essor for 1981 Cen~us \'lhich will mention any _ var~ations that may exist. in your State. The census will be taken in-the traditional manner by. household visits by en1.llllerators whQ w.tl~ canvass and coll.e~t vatticulilrs of ever/ indlvidl+al ~n .the pre,oribed forms. .'. .... .

.a~ .. . You ·w1l1 appreciate th~t in a systCJYI such as this, 'it would 'Qe essential for you to keep the awareness of the census . e~nstantly alive and, to put 1 t frankly I to keep the pressure on, ,always. This .can be done through 1ssue of circulars and by in1;eIlsive touring when .you ~ho~ld meet the Colleotors/Deputy, , C~m!ssiQn~rs, attend. their ~'stri~t coordination meetings and talk about the census •. s¢metiriles, after we have had our first 'Oireetor's oonferenQe {ia early NovEJl\ber, 'ag} I \'1ould suggest you should request the $tate Government to call a conference of Col.lecteJrs/Qeputy caMdssi.oners for a fu:tl discussion on ,census operat!Qns, Alternat!ve1v, you ~ay requ~st the Chief Secretary for ~pecifio allooqd..o~. o~ tirna at the naxt Colleci;ors t . .

(c) The post-enumeration check which would follow the actual census,

(d) The tabulation of the datao . I shall be writing in detail on these aspects but I

may mention that prior to houselisting operations or the enumeration, there is another major task ~elating to selection ,of enumerators and supe!"'\l'isQrs and trg_j ning them and dis trib~~.t.ng the materiala. This involves a tremendous degree of logistical Pranning and I would suggest you should commence thinking on ~ese aspects right now. 10. You must have seen the formats which have been canvassed ~n, the s~cond pretest and these would have given you some idea of the content of the qUestionnaires. At the houselisting operations, we would be canvassing the houselist itself and the economic census schedule also.. The housclist schedule \-Jhich has been considerably modified over the formats of the previous census is a very important document, becquse it is on the basis of the houselist that you will have to ca!"'\l'e out the enumeration blocks for the CenSU6 itSelf. On this separate detailed instrUctions will follow. 11" The fonns which will be canvassed in the actual census would be the individual slip and the household schedule. The indiyidual slip is, of course, the basic census document on which the entire statistical. edif:1,ce is built. The household Schedule is devised in such a way so as to provide the Primary Census Abstract, mother-tongue cmd religion data on 100% basis by menual tabulq,tion. Some questions contained in Part I of Household Sohedule of 1981 Census have been accan~odat~d in the Houselist of 1991. Now that the pretests in your State have Q.lready been cOmpleted, r would be happy if you could study the ins~ctions ';Thieh were issued alongwi th the schedules so that you have a complete background regarding the Aperatians nnd i t~ tochn:lcal content, .

12. I must share w.J.th you some in! tiul l:hinJd.tHj rr')'lr.(linrr the tabulation systan. In order to' ensure that not only dub) are tabulated quickly put als9 the tabulation permits cross­tal:;lulation as well as eiilsy retrieval, direct data entry system is a.l.ready functioning so as to put the data from the Individual Slip directly on to tape. We are also thinking of oontinuing

••• 5/-

the system of manual compilation for certain essential characteristics on full count basis,such as P.C.A., mother­tongue and religion tables. I shall write to you aoout our tabulation plan in more detail later on. 13. Y~r tmmediate ooncern,should relate to whether the following jobs have been completed in your state/UT, a~ tatgetted end as already i~truc:.ted by this offic~-namelYI

(a) Finalisation of th~ lists of villages. (b) Finalisation of the lists of towns and cities. (0) Finallsation of Urban Agglomerations and

Stand9.rO. Urban l\reas. (d) Final!sation of Dis~ict, Tehsil/Taluk, City

and Town maps.· .

(e) The preparation of village directory and to\ffi directory.

14. I will be w~t1ng to you soon about issuing necessary notifications under the Census ~ct in the State Gazette. 15. We have written to the state Governments separately requesting that all jurisdictional changes should be completed by Oetober 1, this year and copies of these letters have also been forwarded to your office. Some of the State Governments have issued necessary instructions. Howe'ler, I would suggest: that you· should be in t")uch with the Chief Secretary and Seeretaries of the concerned departments of the State Government to bring home the pOint repeatedly and ensure that there are no jurisdictional changes ~ftar October this year. 16, As mentioned earlier, many aspects would call for issue of detailed circulars and instructions at various points of time. I would suggest that in order to ensure that nothing is lost sight of, a personal circular file should be developed and maintained for your use and for each of the senior officers in your Directorato. 17, Since the census operations call for meticulous att~ntion to detail and constant followup, it is necessary that at evert' point of time and ... '11 th regard to every single aspect the entire organisation is ge~~ed up and kept at a oomplete stqte of readiness. There are various phases which just cannot be avoided or overlooked. For this, I \vould suggest t~atyou should qraw up a realisti~ Oensus calendar ~ndicating the various date~ by which each of the preparatory measures shou~d be completed and for this pu~ose you may find the ~vious census calendar, which was prepared for the 1961 cens~s, of Saft~ guicifanee. I vlould like yo.u to prepare the census calendar 9£ you~ State and forward it to me as ~oon as pqss~le •.

18. 1\.s I mentioned earlier, it \.Joull1 b!~ unl![ttl [or YfJU to go through the achinistrative report of your prec.o:.:cessors for 1971 afld 1981 Censuses and to glu~l(:c through tlH~ volumes already brought out which t-rill give y(r[ en ~.c1c:a of the natUra and ccmp+exi ty of the task. ~'le are b::L4.rl') iJ.ct:iJm at the national level regarding publicity for the ;'991 CQl1SUS, but I would suggest that you may please give talks ove~ Radio/ Door<it8.rshan highlighting the importance of the forthcoming census. This i'lould be a prelude to mn j ()r publicity measures. which you may undertake in the near fu t.ure.

19. The SucceSs of the census enormously depends on the efficiency Of the enumera tion agen('~y and this in tum depends on the manner in which wo have be~l.l able to train them for the job, Training 1.s of .vi tal importance and should be intense and clc·ar. However, thane aspects can only be achieved if we ourselves are clear in our minds as to what we vlant to get done and what we mean by every word in r·)ur instructions. You will notice that when training classes commence, the'enumerators and others have same speeif~c doubts and at no stage should we be at a loss or irritated to answer them~ Obviously, we can do this if we train ourse+ves well and l therefore, I would like to repeatedly emphasise the need for all of us being fully familiar with the fODnats and the instructions. At the appropriate time, it would be desirable that you handle the training of the district census officers and as many groups of supervisocy officers and charge officers/ superintendents as po~sible and a few of the training classes f.qr the functional levels (enumetators and supervisors), while your officers and other trainers mus~, of course, get e<xnpletely involved iri tOe training at tha functional level.

Please aoknqwledge receipt of this letter.

Yours sincerely,

CENSUS OF INDIA 1991 -' CIRCULAR No.8

Subject: Appointment of Census Officers . Issue of notifications.

Under Section 4 of the Census Act, 1948, the officers who will be responsible for the takillg of the census have to be notified through orders of the Goncer'ned authority and these orders have to be gazetted. I am indicating here the levels and other details of such census officers who have to be notified. Slmilar notifica­tions were issued at the 1981 Census and I would suggcs t tl1nt you consult the concerned files and forward draft notifications to the State Government/U. T. Administration for their consideration and notification. This would save considerable time.

In the districts, the Collectors/Deputy Com missioners would be the Principal Census Officers who would be totally responsible for the operations while in the case of cities which are under municipal corporations the Municipal Commissioner or the Chief Executive Officer. depending on the local designation, would func­tion as the Principal Census Officer. Obviously, the officers at these levels can only function effectively if they have a suitable level of assistance. Therefore, as was done last time. it is pro­posed to notify officers of the. appropriate level such as Headquar­ters Assistants to the Collectors/Deputy Commissioners (in sorne states referred to as Personal Assistant to the Collectur J, Addi­tional collectors, ADMs as District Census Officers. Senior Deputy Collector at Headquarters or Deputy Chief Executive Officers or Deputy Municipal Commissioners as the Cellsus OffiCC1CS for til8 relevant area. Apart from these two levels. it would be esscntlt1l that we have officers who will be inchnrge of specific area IVhich consti tute part of their norm a1 adrninistrati VB jurisdiction and also develop levels for supervision (like subdi visional or Revenue Divisional Officers J. On this basis the chart which is enclosed indicates the levels and designations which would havo to be notified.

. .... 2/-

-2-

3. In the case of areas which fall within the occupation and control of defence service. Central Reserve Police. Border Security Force and similar organisations. as was done last time. in consultation with the authorities concerned. the Director of Census Operations will determine the Census Officer s for these areas and. in consultation with the Census Officers concer­ned. the Charge Officers/Superintendents and other levels also. While determining who would function as the Census Officers and that for other levels. it would be sufficient if internal orders are passed deSignating such authorities and these need not be gazetted. It must be emphasised that areas under conton-· ment board will be treated on par with municipal towns and notified area committees etc. and that the areas referred to here are those which are distinct from cantonment board areas as such.

4. The State Government/U. T .Administration may be requested to issue necessary notifications appointing the Principal Census Officers and in the same notification· delegating to them. by virtue of the power vested in the State Government/U. T .Administ­ration under Clause 4 of Section 4 of the Census Act. the autho­rity to appoint other census officers. The State Government/U. T.­Administration may also be requested to issue orders authorising declarations under Clause 3 of Section 4 of the Act to be Signed by the Census Officers for the local area concerned. These delegations would reduce the workload at higher level. It will be noticed that the State GovernmentjU. T . Administration would have to authorise not merely the Principal Census Officers but other levels also to sign the declaration under Clause 3 of Sec­tion 4. For example with such a declaration. the Tehsildar or B. D.O. can appoint Census Officers for smaller areas and he can also issue the orders regarding supervisory officers. etc.

5. As was done in the previous census, it would be necessary for the State Government/U. T .Administration to notify the DCOs/ j.1)C()~' DDCOs/ ADCOs as Census Officers under Section 4 (2) and authorise them to appoint other Census Officers under Section 4 (4) .

6. Copies of the drafts suggested by you to the State Govern­ment/U . T .Administration for each of the appropriate levels may please be sent to us for information in due course.

Please acknowledge receipt of this circular.

Yours sincerely,

Incidentally, it must be noted that each taluk/police st~t1on, etc. constitutes-the'~ rural charge within tve jurisdi­ction of the said taluk/ police station, etc. and I:: therefore. the urqan areas-falling within this taluk/police station, etc. will be excluded therefrom. The taluk/ pollce station etc. number thus assigned will constitute the second element of the Location Code in rural areas •

• '", .. ,', ·t .,',

Villages' •

A revenue Village together with all its hamlets is considered as the smallest Administrative Unit for rural areas, and accordingly, every such village will have a code number. The 11sts of villages for all taluka are beins got prepared and approved by your office for purpo~es of the .1991 Census. The serial numbers· of the· villages appearing in these lists would constitute .the Code! numbers of the different villages and would' be ,the third element of the Location Code . . . , ,

~ ; : .

. . It should' be noted' that villages will be serialised within a talilk/police' station, etc.' and that the serial number will' be' continuous only within such area. A reference to pre­vious pz:actice will indicate' that villages have been numbered in 'a particular order' usually beginning from the North-West point . of' the taluk/police station, etc. and the numbering proceeding in a serpentine manner keeping to geographical contigui ty t down to the South-East point. In most cases. villa­ges haVe ·been numbered in this manner within each Revenue Inspector's Jurisdiction or in, equivalent jurisdictions. It would be. desirable . that the same practice be retained.

Towns

Since' the number of towns in a district would not be ,large, all the towns within a district are numbered in one continuous series without reference to the Taluk in which they are located. The towns in a district may be arranged in the 'alphabetical order of their names or in any other convenient manner and. numbered accordingly. In order to dis­tinguish between towns and villages, the code numbers for

-3-

towns will be in Roman figures. The town is normally the smallest adminIstrative unit for the urban' area. But in case of biS cl ties like Delhi. Born bay. Madras. Hyderabad, etc .• these units will be further sub-divided into urban charges for facility of organisation and conduct of census operations in these areas. These charges will be numbered according to the convenience of operation within the area and will be alloted num bers in Arabic numerals. tn a continuous series for the entire city. Wards In the towns will also be numbered and shown by Arabic numerals. Thus the Roman number assign­ed to the town will be the second element of the location code in urban areas and the ward number,' will be the third element.

l'it will be noticed that towns are g1 ven location code numbers continuously within the district in which they are located. To the extent possible, _it would be desirable to retain the -iocatioii'--code' nlirnbers assigned to the towns at fhe-198f" Census~~' for -comparab1lity:' If new towns' have been flsted:--these~an-be7venserlal numbers continuing from the last serial number already assigned within the district. If due to considerable changes in the town list, it becomes difficult to retain the location code number of the 1981 Census in the case of towns. it is certainly permissible to adopt new numbers.

Blocks

Each village and town will be constituted into one or more enumeration blocks. jn accordance with the Instructions issued for Housellsting Operations. Similarly, at the time of individual enumeration in February-March. 1991, blocks will be formed for facility of census operations. All such blocks within a charge - whether rural or urban - will bear continuous serial numbers. It is important to remember that enumerator I s blocks will be numbered continuously for each charge. If a town or a city contains more than one charge, the blocks would have to be formed chat'gewise FUJd numbered continuously with in each charge. If a town is by itself one full charge. the blocks would obviously be numbered continuou­sly for the entire town. that i.s I the entire charge. In the case of rural areas. lhu t. if-), in tho coso Dr taLtlksl polico stations. etc. I it is lilcf'J],y tllat some v Hlnges will be constitu­ted into single blocks while larger vUlages !flay have to be constituted into two or more blocks. The villages would

-4-

have to be arranged according to the location code and blocks numbered continuously for. the entire taluk/police station, etc·. In case a hamlet of. any village is large and merits being considered as a separ'ate enumerator" s block, it will obviously be given an independent, block number.

The Location Code \

The' location code' will be developed on the basis of the location code numbers determined for the district,. ~he . taluk or. police station, etc., the village or the town and will also include . the enumerator f s block num ber .

. Thus,' for example, a -location code number 1/3/49 would refer to the 49th village in the 3rd taluk of the 1st district. Similarly, a location code like 4/v /2 would refer to, Ward 2 of the fifth . tOy.1n of the 4th district. Location code number 14/VIIl-2 would refer to urban charge No.2 of the eighth town in the 14th district. Since the block numbers would, be. continuous for e~ch charge as a whole, the block numbers would be indicated within brackets after the location codes referred to 'above. For ',example, 1/3/49(60), 4/v/2(8). 14/VIII~2/6(15), etc •.

It is important to note here that the jurisdiction of every, administrative unit right upto the last level is clear­

. ly indicated and identifiable by every Census Officer having jurisdiction ovet the area. Accordingly, it is clarified that when a particular 'village is referred to, it denotes not merely the area on which the village housesites (Busti) or the ham­

'lets of that village are located, but the entire revenue ·limi ts of . the village as demarcated in the land records. Similarly, in the case of towns. tho jur1.scliction wBI be as laid down by Government. II any specifiC areas have been excluded from within the jurisdiction of a Municipality etc., or when only parts of a village have been included within the limits of a Municipality. such excluded areas or the remaining parts of such Villages will have to be included in the adjOining Rural Charge of which they form part, even if such areas are uninhabi ted, Accordingly, such areas will be allotted appropI'iate Code Numbers in the concerned rural charge.

It will be noticed that some of the Towns included in the list are non-municipal areas. Such areas. 'among others. have been treated as Census Towns on the principles communi­cated in Census Circular No.3

-5-

'It may be noted that the Jurisdiction of the non-muni­cipal urban areas extends' over the entire revenue limits of the villages concerned or the areas over which the concerned authori ties have control

Thus it will be seen that the whole idea is to ensure that every bit of area 1n the State/UT is included either In, a rural charge or. in. an urban cllarge. ensuring at the same time that there is neither any omission nor any overlapp­ing of al'eas between the two. This becomes particularly im-portant ~wh,ile, distingUishing' the, dividing lines between the rural and" urban charges ~ ',', It' ·ls I therefore. necessary that

c. --------~y 'charge' officer should .'. verify the boundaries of his Charge with those of adjoinIng Charges. and submit a cert1fF· Cate tn token of such verification. This certificate may please' De obtained by your' office by the 15th February, 1990 without fail. A similar certificate should also be recorded in the Charge ~eglster at" the end., " :

'. \

Apart from the location codes to be aSSigned for a district, tahsll/taluka/pol1ce, station and village/ward/town as mentioned in the circular," U is also proposed to g1 ve the number of CD block on the houselist. househola schB(iuIO"' Bod indivIdual slip. in view of the demand-for the data at development block level. For this purpose it is necessary that the CD' block to' which each village belongs has to be ascertained since CD blocks can' cut across the tahsil bounda­ries. you ...... may 'have to instruct the Charge Officer to add two columns for name of, the CD block and number of CD block .in the charge, register so that these could be recorded for each village. This will enable the charge officer to give the CD . block number also, to the enumerators/supervisors

. before . allocating . the work and handing over the schedules for 'being filled in. This may not be necessary in States which have. CD blocks instead of tahsil/taluka/police station as one of the element of location code, or where the CD blo­cks are fully coterminus in jurisdiction with tahil/taluka/police station etc. '.'. '

Yours sincerely.

CENSUS OF INDIA 1991 - CIRCULAR NO.ll

Subject:-Formation of Enumeration Blocks and . preparation of the Abridged Houselist.

lJVI'y dear Jaspal,

The Houselisting operations would pruvid the basic frame for the formation of the enumeratio 'blocks for the smooth conduct of the census in 1991 However, since the Houselisting operations precede th actual count by about 6 to 8 months, it is lIecessary

:to ensure that the coverage of the census. houses and ·households ·at the time of the census is complete. This is achieved by the adoption of nn interrnediatl~ form called the II Abridged Houselist". The Abridged Huuselis t contains certain essential details from the Houselist and will be updated by the enumerator as he goes round his block in the cenSUS period. Therefore, soon after the· Houselisting operation is over, two important and essential steps have to be taken. These are:

a) The enumeration blocks must be formed and the charge registers for the enumera­tion operation written up.

b) The Abridged Houselist must be prepared.

2. This circular deals with these two stups. The carving out of the enumeratiun blocks is thu respun­sibility of the Census Charge Officer and he will also have to get the Abridged Houselist prepared. The Abri­dged Housolist has to be updated by the enumerator as mentioned earlier. Therefore, for convenience of use· in training, these aspects have been dealt with in three separate parts in this circular as follows:-

5. The hou5e11st of an enumeration block should be proper­ly tied as one bundle using either thread or rubber band. The bundles of E.Bs. of f;1 village should be kept together in a con­tinuous order .. For example if a village has three E. Bs. numbered

. 51,52,53, then the bundles of the three E. Bs. shaul d be arranged in the order of 51,52 and 53 at one place.

CENSUS OF INDIA 1991 -' CIRCULAR No. B

Subject: . Appointment of Census Officers -Issue of notifications.

Under Section 4 of the Census Act, 1948, the officers who will be responsible for the taking of the census have to be notified through orders 01 the concerned authority and these orders have to be gazetted. I am indicating here the levels and other details of such census officers who have to be notified, Similar notifica­tions were issued at the 1981 Census and 1 would suggest that you consult the concerned files and forward draft notifications to the State Government/U. T. Administration for their consideration and notification. This would save considerable' time.

In tbe districts, the Collectors/Deputy Com missioners would be the Principal Census Officers who would be totally responsible for the operations while in the case of cities which are under municipal corporations the Municipal Commissioner or the Chief Executive Officer, depending on the local designation, would func­tion as the Principal Census Officer. Obviously, the officers at these levels can only function effectively if they have a suitable level of assistance. Therefore, as was done last time, it is I pro-posed to notify officers of the, appropriate level such as Headquar­ters Assistants to the Collectors/Deputy Commissioners (in some states referred to as Personal Assistant to the Collector), Addi­tional collectors, ADMs as District Census Officers, Senior Deputy Collector at Headquarters or Deputy Chief Exocuti ve Officers or Deputy· Municipal Commissioners as the Census Officers for the relevant area. Apart from these two levels, it would be essr.ntlGl that we have officers who will be incharge of specific area which constitute part of their normal administrative jurisdiction unci also develop levels for supervision (like subdivisional or Revenue Divisional Officers). On this basis the chart which is 811closed indicates the levels and designations Wllicl1 would have to be notified.

CENSUS OF INDIA 1991 - CIRCULAR NO.20

Subject~- Provisional Population Totals

My dear

As indicated in Circular No .19 dated August 13, 1990 the aIUlouncement of the provisional results would have to be made as soon as possible after the' enumeration. '

, 2. It will be seen from paragraph 159 of Chapter V relating to filling up of the Enumerator I s Working Sheet aud the Enumerator I s Abstract in the booklet of instructions to Enumerators for filling up the Household, Schedule and Individual Slip that a working sheet for compiling enumerator I s abstract has to be prepared soon after the completion of the revisional round. Keeping in view the importance of releasing the' provisional figures quickly as scheduled, it is essen­tial that the enumerator should fill the Working Sheet each day. This has already been communicated to you vide Deputy Registrar General (C a T)'8 demi-official letter No.9/14/90-CDlCEN) dated 19.7.1990.

3. Even though each enumerator may furnish his abstract prom­ptly I the posting and consolidation of all the particulars by sex and totalling of each characteristic for the charge as a whole and later at the district level is bound to be time consuming. Besides. as the Charge Officer is required to communicate the provisional popu­lation figures by the quickest means either through special messenger

. or by telegram or telephone or wireless message to the district census officer and the State Director of Census Operations I there is scope for errors creeping In if too many figures are reported in a run on message. Simllarly I the District Census Officer is expected to communi­cate the consolidated provisional figures for his district to the Dir­ector of Census Operations and to the Census Commissioner of India direct by the quickest means possible which would be normally by telegram or telephone. It would be cumbersome to relay a series of figures for each unit. It has, therefore, been decided that to start

'. with, only the minimum basic information relating to total population

- 2 -

figures and iiterates may be consolidated from the enumerator's abstract and communicated. These could be first released as Paper I of' 1991 at a Press Conference on any day between March 15 - 20, 1991 at Delhi for all India and States/Union Territories. SubseqiJently. on 21st March in the State/Union Territory 'cnpitals the provisional f1gur~s could be released by the Directors for the State/Union Territory and its constituent districts. The formats of the tables (1 to 4) to be included in this vol ume are appended to this circular. The other detailed provisional figures in respect of other variables contained in the enumerator's abs tract I with rural urban break up of population. population of towns. propor­tion of population in each size class to total urban population, decadal growth rate I sex ratio, percentage of workers to total population by sex and distribution of working population by culti­vators, ~agricultural labourers, household industry and other work­ers will be' released some time in April, 1991 as supplement to Paper 1, 1991.

4. It is reiterated that the figures will be released first by the Registrar General and Census Commissioner. India for the country as well as States/Union Territories. Thereafter. the birectors of Census Operations will release the figures for their respective State/Union Territory down to the district level. The dates and manner of release 'of provisional results could he fUr­ther discussed in the forthcoming third conference of DIrectors of Census Operations. The Directors of Census Operations will not release the figures 'prior to the stipulated date as the idea is that all the Directors' of Census Operations will also await confirmation of the total figures from this office for each State before they release the provisional figures to the Press or the public. It has to be ensured that there is complete agreement between the figures released by this office and those by the Directors of Census Operations.

5. The calendar for reporting of provisional results has already been communicated to you vide Circular No .19 dated Augu­st 13, 199 U. Each enumerator, after the completion of the revi­sional round, will prepare the Enumerator's Abstract.· He should be able to finalize ,its totals by 6 March 1991 posJ ti vel y because not much work will be involved as the postlng in thn wor'klng sheet mus t have been done simultaneously during the enumera tion period, as suggested. He will only have to make corrections in the Working Sheets regarding births and deaths. if any. that he may observe during thE:! revisional round.

- 3 -

o. The Supervisor will have' to obtain all the records from the enumerator' including the Working Sheets and. the Enumera­tor's Abstracts :relating to his circle and submit these to the Char8e Officer by· 7th' March 1991. On receipt of these records the Charse Officer' would have to immediately, 'take up, the Work-

'ing Sheets of the enumerators' for each block .and the correspond­ing Bnumerator's Abstract and process these for, arriving at the provisional results for initial publication and for forwarding the figures for the Supplement also.

l'" ""I 'j ,'I

7. In order to be able to do so the Charge Officer can very conveniently have a' register prepared on the basis of the "Enumerator's ,'Working Sheet" itself~' except that in column 2

,instead of ,tlSerial' Number' of Household'" it could 'be noted as "Enumerator's Block Number". When the records' are received on the 7th the charge clerk would have to post in this register the relevant total figures which would be available (rom the last page of the Working Sheets of each block in the columns concerned. Slnce these' would be posted blockwise the totals would give the figures for each of the characteristics for the entire charge. It would' be convenient if the Charge Officer can ensure that this register 1s written up in advance so far 8.S

the block numbers are; concerned so that there is no confusion in compiling the provisional totals.

8. In order to prepare the provisional results in the ,formats of the messages and' in the manner specified in the tables for the supplement t the Charge Officer would necessarily have to prepare for I his charge a' statement identical to thClt of the Enumerator' B Abstract. This statement or Charge Abstract would

,have. to . be, prepared separately for rural and urban charges. If a Charge Officer has functioned simultaneously in both the rural and urban charge t the statements would have to be prepared separately for each Charge •

. ,;. ,I ,

9. It will be noticed that for the preparation of thE tables which go into' the supplement t information for each towr is also necessary. This would mean that the Regional Tabulatior Offices would have to compile the data based on the WorkinE Sheets of the, Charge Officers of each town. . , ,

10. Immediately, after the totals are struck the ChargE Officer should communicate the' figures to the District Censm Officer as well as the Director of Census Operations by thp est possible means. The format of the message thrOI' the figures are to be commlUlicated is given below:-

1991 CENStJS PROVISIONAL TOTALS

Charge --------.-------­Males ----.. ------.. ---Total Population -----------­Literate Females ------------

District. ------------. Females ------------. Literate Males------­Total l1terates-------

4,-

11. " ,,::HmuarlY. ,me' District Census Officers should post , these, 1 totals, for the' district, and communicate the totals to the Director of, Census Operations and to the Registrar General, India. ,The figures ,to' the Registrar General, India should be communicated by express· telegram, wireless message or over phone whichever ,is, the quickest. The telegraphio address of the Registrar General, India is, as follows: -:

t, . ,

"REGGENLIND - NEW DELHI"

, '. The ,figures can also oe communicated to this office over phone. Arrangements will, be made to receive the messages round the clock from the· 6th to 11th March, 1991,' over the ,f,oVowing telephones: - ,

12. . Similar arrangements will have to be made for the compilation of provisional population totals in the case of ci ties which have independent census authorities. There are cities where the Municipal, Commissioner or Chief EX8CUti ve Officer may have :been ',designated as the Principal Census Offlcer for his area •

. :In such, cases ,the Charge ,OfUcers within these units would have to operate In the Bame manner to build up Chargn tot.qls and these In turn. would' have to be consolidated· by the Principal Census' Officer for the city concerned and communicated to Regis­trar General, India and Director of Census Operations in the same message format specified earlier. The Director of Census

,Operations, will also communicate separately in the same message ,format the provisional population figures for the cities with a population of one million and above.

13 ~ , ' ,: The more detailed provisional figures referred to under supplement to Paper 1 of 1991 need not be commu.nicated by tele­gram' or telephone. These may be sent by post.

- 5 -

14. In item (v) of Circular No .19 dated AUguRt 13, 1990 it has been specified that all records 'relating to a charge along with' inventory. etc. should, be sent to the Regional Tabulation Office: concerned so that they reach .the latter on the 9th March. 1991., ,TheSe records \ will include working sheets prepared by the Charge Officers based on the enumerator's working sheets and enumerator's abstracts. ·It would be seen that the totals of the working sheets compiled in the Charge Office will provide all the, data required for the preparation of material for the supplement to Paper 1 'of 1991.

, :. "," ( ,

15. The Charge Officers are required to forward to the Regional Tabulation Offices· the Charge Work.ing Sheets along with the other filled in census schedules. On the basis of these work­ing sheets and the charge abstracts, the Regional Tabulation

, Offices' will compile the supplement to Paper 1 of 1991 (Tables '1 to 4).' These tables along with' the charge working sheets and charge abstracts may be forwarded by special messenger to the Director of Census Operations latest by 21st March. 1991. The

, ,Director of Census Operations would then proceed to organise 'the· complete preparation of these tables including thereIn the relevant 1981 Census figures and computation of rates and ratios already specified. In order to expedite the work. it would be advantBgeous if in the office of the Director of Census Operations these, tables are kept ready filling in the data for 1981 so that the 1991; figures need merely be incorporated and further action taken. The charge working sheets and the charge abstracts would serve as a cross-check.

16. . It has been decided that the Directors of Census Opera­tions must transmit copies of the supplement tables In duplicate •

. . as soon as thesa ar~ ready, ,but in no case later than 4th April. 1991.... . , '

17. The contents of Paper 1 of 1991 incorporating the first set of the provisional figures may be as follows for the State volume •

. I. Figures at a glance for the state as a whole. showing

(1) Total population by sex:

(11) 'Decennial Population Growth 1981-91;

18. With some careful planning of the work and advance preparation, it should be possible to bring out mimeographed text and tables and also print the chart and maps in time to compile .Paper I of 1991 for release when the provisional popula­tion figures are announced by you on 21st March, 1991.

19. Suitable cover design for the 1991 Census publications is being: evolved which will be sent to the Di.rectors of Census Operations in due course . of time. The outer cover of Paper 1 of 1991 - Provisional Population Totals can be printed and kept ready and the moment the tables, maps, charts and analytical notes. etc. are ready. the books could be stl tched, and got ready for release.

20. After a preliminary scrutiny in the Regional Tabulation Offices. necessary data will have to be compiled for the prepara­tion of the next set of four tables for' th£J supplement to Paper 1. In the supplement to Paper 1 of 1991, the following items may be included.

- 7 -

(1) An introductory note ind1catin8 what has already been covered In the Paper 1 of 1991 and what is presented In the supplement. The supplement to Paper 1, will present the provisional data on urban rural break-up, 8rowth rate of larser towns and broad economic characteristics of the population.

(111) Provisional Population Supplement Table-2-. Population of Towns.

(tv) Provisional Population Supplement Table-3-Percentage of workers to total population.

(v) Provisional Population Supplement Table-4-Distribution of main working population by broad categories.

·21. You are requested to issue necessary instructions in this regard to all concerned. It would be useful to indicate this procedure in the training sessions also. In order to maintain the tradition of census with re8ard to releasing the provisional figures In time I the tight time schedule of various items of work may please be adhered to.

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter.

CENSUS OF INDIA 1991 - CIRCULAR NO.1

Subject Setting up of Field Hierarchy and General Guidelines.

I hope you might be aware that the rrop,ri\rnme for conducting 1991 Census throughout the country haR hccn fjnalised. The population count would be conducted in all the states and union territories, including Punjab, during February-March 1991 and houselisting operation s would be carried out during A pril­September 1990. In respect of Punjab, however, the houselisting shall be conducted during August-September 1990. The organisation of census operations in the past has shown that we in Punjab have been able to maintain a commendable reputation in accomplishin'g this task.

2. Census, as you are aware, is the main source of population data in the country. Its chief merit lies in glvlng demographic data even at the micro level like a village or an enumeration block in a town. As has been the traditioll, this opportunity is also taken to collect information on hOllsing stock and on economic units, such as enterprises. The Indian Cen sus has the distinction of having had an unbroken series of decennial censuses for over a hundred years and we can look back with pride to the fact we are now involved in contin uing this tradition. The 1991 Census would be 13th in the series.

3. Undoubtedly, the houselisting and population cerSllS constitute the biggest administrative operation and involve considerable investment in terms of time, money and manpower. It is, therefore, essential that the objectives of the census are completely met in terms of total coverage, accuracy and

timeliness. responsibility.

This is

:-2-:

where all of us have a spec, .,J

4. Vide a Gazette Notification dated 4th October 1989, the Central Government, under Section 3 of the Census Act, 1948 (37 of 1948) declared that a census of the population of India shall be taken during the year 1991. The reference date for the census shall, in the State of Punjab as well as in other states/union territories of the country, be the sunrise of first day of March 1991. However, before this actual census count and as a first phase of 1991 Census, we shall be conducting an equally important operation called Housenumbering/filling up of Houselist and Enterprise List in the months of August-September 1990, for which all arrangements are required to be made right now.

5. Regarding setting up of field hierarchy in the State, I may mention that through a number of Gazette Notifications, issued on 23rd November 1989, the State Government, have made the following appointments under Sub-section (2) of Section 4 of the Census Act, 1948 :

All Deputy Commissioners

Commissioners of Municipal Corporations, Amritsar, Ludhiana and Jalandhar

6. All ~:he above officers have also been authorised under Sub-section (3) of Section 4 of the·Census Act, 1948 to sign declarations of appointment of Census staff for any local areas wi~hin ~heir respective jurisdiction.

7. Principal Census Officers,in addition, have also been accorded powers under Sub-sec+ion (4) of said Act/ibid to exercise the powers under Sub-section (2) i,sel£ for appointing Census Officers within the respective areas.

8. The appoinimen~ s so notified envisage the following hierarchical set up in +he field :

In the distric1. Ii the Deputy Commissioners as Principal Census Officers. would be overall in charge for the census operations, except in ':he jurisdiction of Municipal Corporations, where the Commissioners concerned will be so respon sib Ie.

Since the DCs and Commissioners of Municipal Corporations, because of their multifarious preoccupations, need suitable assitance at appropriate level, the Additional Deputy Commissioners have been appointed as District Censlls Officers, except in tl1(' case of Municipal Corp[)r;-tlions where Assis1.i1nt Commissioners/ Executive Officers as City Census Officers of the Corporations would be their counterpart.

In the Sub-Divisions, SDOs(Civil). under the overall control and supervlslOn of Depu~. y Commissioners. shall be totally responSible for the census operations, including in the areas :hat fall under the local bodies (except. Corporations) situated within their jurisdiction.

with one lakh+ population.

Additional Deputy Commissioners as District Census Officers (and Assistan~. Commissioners of Municipal Corpora1ions, as City Census Officers) would provide ~he vital link between this Directorate and field officers. They would take to ensure compljance of a.11 instructions issued for conduct of the operations, from time i'O time, from 1 his end and afford feedback periodically as prescribed in the course of time. In turn, they shall be in :ouch with and inter-alia, compile repor:.s frem the SOOs (Civil) in the districts. (These officers had been en tit! ed to special payor honorarium, hither-to-fore, for the additional work of arduous na~ure they have had to put in for census, and for 1991 Census also as soon as a decision is through in t his regard, it shall be communicated accordingly).

9. trust you would have received copies of the aforesaid Notifications by now. Copies of the Census Act, 1948, are being forwarded to you separately for reference and record.

10. Separately and shortly, saw:tions shall be issued by the Local Govt.

11. These posts are b ein g crea ted an r1 1 he E'xpend i' ure of this ministerial staff shall lll~imately be borne hy the Government of India. It. is necessary that suitable appoint men! 5 thereupon made, preferably from out of personnel who have had exper of 1981 Census.

CENSUS OF INDIA 1991- CIRCULAR NO.4

House-numbering and Houselisting Operations Carving out of Houselisting Blocks and filling up of Houselisting Charge Registers

Kindly refer to our Circular No.3, dated 17th April 1990 in which formation of Charges I Special Charges was discussed at great length.

The main purpose of this circular is to provide assistance' to the Census Charge Officers in the formation of enumeration blocks for the purposes of the FIRST PHASE of the 1991 Census (Housenumbering and houselisting), which will be carried out in the month of August 1990 in this state.

Since the census operations are time-bound operations, the workload to each census func':'tionary has to be allotted in such a way .that it is possible for him/her to complete' it within the prescrib ed time. The general practice is to form convenient sized units, known as Census Blocks, the work of which can be assigned to a census enumerator. Each Charge Officer may, therefore, be requested to carve out houselisting blocks in such a way to keep the workload of enumerators even as far' as possible.

Some of the points which must be kept in mind in carving out houselisting blocks are as follows:

:-2-{

For Rural Areas Shortly and separately we shall be sending you a list of, Revenue villages for each tahsil/sub-division showing village code numbers, name of village, Hadbast No .• area and 1981 census population to help carving out houselisting blocks. Entire tahsil taken as charge will be divided into en umerator I s blocks and supervisors I circles. Each charge officer may kindly be requested to demarcate houselisting blocks, keeping in view points mentioned below :

i) Each block should ordinarily consist of about 150 to 200 houses or a population of 700 to 1, 000.

ii) Each revenue village must be recognised as a separate block howsoever small in population size. Uninhabited (Bechirag) villages should also be constituted into s_eparate blocks.

iii) In a bigger village having more than 200 houses or 1000 population the number of blocks may be suitably increased. In such cases boundaries of each block in a village will have to be clearly demarcated to ensure, that neither any house is left out nor it is included in more than one block.

i v) A small village having very less population or a portion of a village should not be tagged with another village

,for constituting a block. Rather such areas should be shown as separate blocks. If. however. the blocks are too small then two or three blocks may be assigned to an enumerator depending upon the situation.

v) Wherever there are separate hamlets/DhanisfHothe/farm houses/tubewell houses etc. outside the main settlement and within the reven ue jurisdiction of the village, it is necessary that none of these is left out. Each and every structure (including tubewell room, power house, cattle shed, stores etc.) located within the reven ue boundary of the village shall be covered under houselisting operation s.

vi) Allocation of block numbers is an important task. It may, therefore, be ensured that each charge officer may follow a set pattern while giving block numbers in a charge. I may mention that continuous serial for entire charge i. e. tahsil should run in the same manner as followed for village code numbers in the village list. Thus, the last number of houselisting blocks in a charge will be more than last numb er of the village code in that charge or at the most it can be equal to that number.

For Urban Areas : Like rural areas, houselisting bloc ks wit hin a charge will bear continuous serial number. However. if a town/city contains more than one charge, the blocks would have to be formed charge-wise and numbered continuously within each charge. If a town is by itself one full charge. the blocks would obviously numbered continuously for the entire town, i.e. the entire charge.

i)

ii)

iii)

,iv)

: -3-: i

Uptodate town maps showing latest ward/division ,boundaries will be available with the Mpl. committees/Mpl.' corporations which will form the base for carving out' houselisting blocks. In case of

,urban areas it, is realised that it may not always be possible ,to carve' out blocks exactly on the same

,criteria, as adopted in rural areas and. therefore, marginal;'adjustments will' have to be made. As the

,enumerator will, ,also be canvassing enterprise list alongwith the houselist, it is likely that number of enterprises will be comparatively more in urban areas than' in rural areas. It is,therefore, desirable that

: to keep' the workload even an en umeration block should consist of 100 to 150 houses.

Houselisting block must not cut across the boundaries of wards or municipal divisions.

Demarcation of each houselisting block should have ,'well defined b,oundaries such as roads, streets,

important landmarks. buildings etc.

The abad! falling on the periphery of the urban area needs ,special attention., Any habitation not falling within the notified jurisdiction of the town but lying almost in contiguity thereto should not be inel uded in it. It shall be taken care of in the rural areas, Le. village in which the abadi falls though it may

,be nearer to the town. Ho~, if such abadis are already declared as "Outgrowths" of the town, then it shall be 'taken care of by the concerned charge

,officer of the town and to avoid duplication charge 'officer of the urban areA. will inform the charge officer of the revenue village in which this abad! falls. Such outgrowths (abadi) should be constItuted into separate blocks depending upon size. The serial number of these blocks will follow the pattern adopted in the appropriate charge and they may be assigned the serial n umbers following the end of the series of the charge so that they are easily recognisable.

SRS Block to be maintained intact

The Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India has in operation in all states/ UTs an on-going scheme for registration of Births and Deaths on a sample basis in rural as well' as urban areas. The project is known as the Sample Registration Scheme (SRS) and the sample units being operated thereunder are known as SRS blocks. After the 1991 Census is over, the RGI has proposed to conduct a special study to be called "Census Evaluation Study by using SRS records". It will, therefore, be necessary to ensure that in carving Ollt

census blocks we do not cut across the boundaries of SRS blocks. If an SR& block is too big in terms of population, it should be broken up into two or more blocks of convenient size. But under no circumstances should a non -SRS area be tagged on to an SRS block for forming a Census block. A complete list of SRS blocks - rural as well a3 urban - located in Punjab. giving full particulars in respect of each block as also the name and address of the official who "works for the scheme as a part-time en umerator is enclosed,

:-4-:

Military Areas: A few villages and towns have military and Air Force establishments. These are generally prohib ited areas and civilians are not allowed entry in these areas. It may be noted that no houselisting operation swill be carried out in the military/air force areas and hence no blocks are to be formed. However, it may be possible that only a part (or parts) of a town /village is (are) declared as military or air force areas. In such cases blocks in the concerned towns/villages will have to be formed by excluding the military/air force areas.

Creation of Supervisory Circle Five contiguous houselisting blocks will constitute a supervisory circle. After the blocks have been constituted, the supervisory circle in which contiguous blocks fall should also be demarcated and n umber of supervisory ,circles worked out.

Charge Registers: It is absolutely essential to ensure that all the areas, both rural and urban, are covered during the houselisting operations. In order to have complete control over the operations and to be certain that the coverage is complete the s),stem of charge registers has been adopted. The charge

Lprepared for registers have to beLentrusted to the census charge officer in each charge triplicate. Actual requirement of these registers charge wise is respectively. being worked out in this Directorate and these registers will be These regis- despatched shortly for filling these up by the charge officer as ters have to I.'" per the instructions given below: be

tn

First of all, detail s req uired on the title page of the charge register should be filled in. While filling up charge registers it may be ensured that each supervisory circle shall commence from a separate page. The name, designation, office address and residential address of the supervisor shall be indicated on the top. The space below running on to two pages would suffice for five houselisting blocks falling in the circle. Various details of houselisting blocks and enumerators will be shown in the relevant columns.

Houselisting Block No. will been tered in Col. 4 of the charge register. There will be one contin uous serial for the entire charge, I.e. tahsil in case of rural areas and charge in case of urban areas. Since giving block numbers and entering theset.charge registers is an important t.ilsk it is clad Hcd that if village having Code No. 1 in the village list is rt sing] e block village then there will be Block No. 1 in Col. No.4. If second village having village Code No.2 is a multi block village, say, having 3 blocks, then village code number will be repeated three times in Col. 3 and in Col. 4 block numbers will be 2, 3 and 4. In case next village, I.e. having village Code 3 is an uninhabited village then against this village in Col. 3 entry will be 3 and in col. 4 block number will be 5 and so on.

: -5-:

Suitable certificates have been prescribed for charge officers to certify that he has checked the entries in the register regarding nominations of enumerators and supervisors and the distribution of blocks/circles amongst them and have found them to be correct. He has also to certify that the entire area within the charge .has been fully covered, no area has been repeated and no area has been left out. These certificates read at page 3 of the cover of the register and have to be signed by the census charge officer and countersigned by you.

Col. 4 of the charge register will indicate the total number of houselisting blocks in each charge. From this actual number of enumerators and supervisors can be worked out chargewise. A provision of 10% as reserve for enumerato~s and supervisors has to be kept in mind. It will be possib Ie for you to indicate the requirement of appointment letter-cum-idcntity cards for en umeratorsl supervisors after these registers have been filled up and the same may be indicated to this Directorate for despatch of these forms.

A minim urn population of 5, 000;

at least 75 per cent of male working population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits: and

a density of population of at least 400 oersibs oer sq. km. (1,000 persons per sq. mile);

have been treated as census towns. !\ censlIs town is distinguished from a regular town in that a census town is not separately notified as a town.

It is further pertinent to note that the Char'ge Offi cer for a census town will be the Block Development & Panchayat Officer of the Community Development Block in which j Llri sdicti.on the census town falls whereas in the case of a separa.tel y nrJI.i fj ed lown the charge officer will be the EO/Secretary of the MC/NAC/CE. etc.

generally sub-divided into zones/divisions elc. These zones/diVi.SiOn1 are further sub-divided into wards. For purposes of census it is convenient to form the zone/ division etc. into a charge since the are; of the Mp!. Corpn. is too large to be constituted intn a single charge. In fact, if the zone/division etc. is large then more than

'one charge can be formed out of its area. However, it is important to bear in mind that while forming charges on the basi s of zones/divisions etc. that they do not cut-across the ward boundaries

iv) Charge Registers

Detailed instructions with regilrd to the filling lip o[1H charge register by the Charge Officer have already been intimated vide Circular No.4 issued by this directorate. Tfw chaq~e registeJ are to be prepared in triplicate for each charge. Adequate number of lsuch registers are being supplied. The rer,i sters rl.re of two sizes. Care should be taken to see that smaller registers are utilized for small charges.

v) Tahsil Map

The tahsil map will be of help in locating villages on the ground. This shows all the villages in the tahsil. The town boundaries have been shaded to distinguish them from villages. The village location codes have been shown in red (same as in Col. 1 of the list of villages) but names of villages and Hadbast Numbers have been shown in blue.

The aforementioned documents may. please be passed on to the concerned Charge Otficers fat their follow up action. It is desired that number of blocks, chargewise, may please be intimated to the undersigned with intimation to District Census Officers at the earliest, enabling us to arrange timely despatch of houselisting material.

~he field staff l particularly, enumerators and superv',isors drawn from various departments need to be activated and energised. In this direction, ~t should be our endeavour to enlist end appoint all such enumerators and supervisors whu have given good performance in accomplishing the hcuselisting operations dliring August 1990. Such a lot of enwmerators ans supervisurs would prove useful during the actual count as they are by now alLeady familiar with their areas viz. enumeration blocks and have also gained considerable experience in preparation of notional mapa/layout sketches, numbering of bUildings, census houses and household concepts etc.

In order to energise the field environment during actual field operation, by and large the enumerators/ supervisors need not cover long distances from his/her place of residence/posting to his/h2r assigned enumeration block(s).

Once the formal appOintment orders of enumerators a--nd supervisors are issued, no Chill ge shoul!ld be made unless it is absolutely unavoidable a .. "l.u. expedient to other administr~t:i.ve exigencie; of work. at any rate, whereever such changes url:­essentially imperative,replacements shOUld be made invi!U'iably frcm the reserve list ~vhert=as no untrained person shOUld be appOinted. This point is stressed upon particularly because the frequent and large number of changes experienced at the time of houselisting operations had thrown out of gear the schedule J1)rograrome of work in

. many urban houselist_j,ng blocks. ,

The Abridged Houselists which are now in the making would have to be handed .over to the enumerator in the final round of training almg with other schedules so that he takes stock of all hr:Juses and households which he had enumerate,d in his block(s) during houselisting operations and delete/add those .found by him duritu;r the actual enumeration, i. e. 'th February to 28th February 1~91. 2.nd rovisional round.

All the p.numerators,supervisors~charge officers and SDOg (civil) should attend the specified .training camps for which a comprehensive programne indicating venUes and dates of training is b~ing drawn and would be sent to you shortly for implementation at all levels ..

A packet containing requisite number of census schedUles conSisting of blank layout sketch anet notional maps, indiv!JuaJ. slip pad~;, househol,J schedule pads, working sheets enumcrntor I s abstract post-graduate cards,etc. would be.;: hanJ\.:!d oVer to ench enumerator for conducting thf2 fit.!lu job.

CENSUS OF INDIA - 1991 : CIRCULAH NO. 11

SubJecL EnumeraLion of Dofencc/l'.u'u-1II11.1 Lat·v l'enlOuI.U!l

My dear

I am to refer to para 1 of page 4 of Circular No. 4 of this Directorate vide which it was intimated that houselisting is not to be done in the defence areas, which are prohibited areas. However, for the purpose of actual census enumeration due in February 1991 the census count will also be undertaken in the military/para-military areas which were excluded during the houselisting and for which now Special Charges are to be created.

c:. The work relating to the houselisting operation has been accomplished and preparatory work for the actual oount has since commenced with the issuance of instructions contained in ~ircular No.9 which deals mainly with the formati,on of I enumeration blocks' and preparation of Abridged Houselist in areas ether than prohibited/sensitive areas.

3. For enumeration operation in certain sensitive/prohibited areas or in what would largely be called military or para-military areas, a strictly restricted procedure is adopted to ensure that classified or sensitive information is not available either in the published volumes or in a routine manner in our files. Therefore, in conSUltation with the authorities concerned of such organisations, certain prooedures have been evolved which are indicated in the annexures appended to this Circular.

4. The first tas'k before the Principal Census Officers j s co identify the location of uni ts of the organisations (for example, Army, Air Force, BSF, GREF, CRPF, SSB, BRO, etc.) so that one is absolutely clear as to the area which will be covered or' excluded and the authorities who will be responsible for the conduel of the operations to the extent that these operations have to be conducted. The District/City Census Officers should, therefore, contact the Officers Command inr; of these units of the military /para-mi Ii tar'y serv i ~e3 for' preliminary discussions, identification of' areas eLc. It may be mentioned that the Defence Ministry as well as the Hqrs. of the various para-military or'ganisations have already issued instructions to their 1'ield formations for the procedure to be adopted for the conduct of enumeration in these areas.

:-2-:

5. One important point is how these areas will be indicated in the charge lists and in the notional maps. Once the areas in which the military or similar personnel are concentrated these may generally be shown in the maps demarcating them as "Special Areas". They should not be identified by the organisation under whose ccmmand or control they exist. It would be desirable that in your office lists of such authoriU.es are maintained in a cGnfidential register merely to ensure t,hat you are aware of the areas wher.e special precautions are to be taken or where enumeration will now be conducted. No charge registers are necessary for such areas for enumeration.

6. It will be noticed from the instructions that the areas covered by Military Census Officers and equivalent census officials of other para-military organisations under consideration will be clearly made known to the Director. This can be determined only through mutual consultations.

Enumeration of Defence Personnel

7. The Hinistry of Defence, vide their demi­official letter Nc. 16(67)/89/D(Coord), dated 22nd December 1989, have issued detailed instructions "for conduct of census operations in defence establishments" (Photocopy attaohed in Annex. I). The instructions are comprehensive and detailed and should be followed for the purposes of the coordinating with the defence authorities for the methodology of enumeration for defence personnel.

8. It will be seen from the instructions that the defence authorities have divided the country into two areas, namely "Operational Areas" and "Non-Operational Areas". The whole of Punjab has been declared as an "operational area" and the instructions for enumeration in operational areas are detailed in para 3(b) of Annexure ,I (appended).

9. Para 3 of Annex. I explicitly states that "in Operational Areas (that is for the whole of Punjab State), there will be no counting at all of combatants. The Census in respect of combatants in Operational Areas will be carried out by the DirectClr, Army Statistical Organisation. Military Census Officers will be appointed in Operational Areas to enumerate non­combatant personnel".

Enumeration of BSF Personnel

1 0. The Director General, Border Security Force vide their letter No. 32!1!89-Acctt/BSF, dated 6th February 1990, have issued detailed instructions for conduct of Census Enumeration in respect of BSt personnel (Photocopy attached in Annex. II). The BSF have made the following classification for the purposes of census enumeration :

i) Forward Areas; ii) Unit Areas;

iii) Civil Areas.

i) Forward Areas

11. Para 5 of Annex. II gives details of arrangements in respect of Forward Areas. It is indicated that Punjab along the Actual Line of Control/International Border is deemed to be a Forward Area. It is also indicated that in those sensitive areas where the combatant personnel of Defence Services and para-military personnel are located together, the enumeration would be conducted through the agency of the local Defence Service formations, that is, the Military Census Officers in consultation with the local Census authorities. The Military Census Officer, who would be enumerating only the non-combatant personnel of the Defence Services would, in such cases, where Defence and para-military formations are located together, also enumerate the non-combatant personnel of the BSf.

ii) Unit Areas

12. Para 10 of Annex. II menLion~ that Officet' Incharge of BSP uni'cs/establishments/tr'aining institutions will function a:s BSF Census Officer's for the purpose of census oper'at~(,n::; 1'~\:'1.

:-4-:

13. Para 13 of Annex. II further indicates thJ BSF Census Officers will be responsible fr,~ the enumeration of all persons residing directly with~n Unit Areas. These Unit Areas will be determined in consultation with the local authorities who are responsible for civil census arrangements so that the respective census limits are clearly known to both. The BSF Census Officer will obtain necessary enumeration slips and instructions from the Census authorities. All enumeration slips, after completion, wi.ll be handed to the Director Census Punjab. In Question 14A of the Individual Slip, the entry for BSF personnel will be 'Yes' and in Question 148, the code will be '1'.

Important Note: For Defence Personnel (All r'anks in the Army, Navy and IAF) and para-military personnel answer against all questions in the census will be recorded. In Question Nos. 15B, 16A, 16B, 17A, 17B, 18, 19, 20 and 21, there will be no entry and an 'X' will be marked against these questions.

iii) Civil Areas

14. Enumeration of BSF personnel residing outside Unit Areas will be the responsibility of civil census officers.

Enumeration of CRPF Personnel

15. Vide their letter No. C.I.1/90-Adm-IV, dated 25th May 1990, the CRPF Hqrs. have issued detailed instructions for the conduct of census enumeration in respect of CRPF personnel (photocopy attached in Annexure III). The CRPF have classified their field formations into :

i) Unit/Coy. Areas; and ii) Civil Areas.

i) Unit/Coy. Areas

Inspectors General, Training Institutions, Signal Units, Group Centres (including Signal Group Centre), Base Hospitals, CWS, SWS, AWS, etc. will also fall in this category.

:-5-:

17 • ' Officers Inchar.ge of CRPF Units/ Establishments/Training Institutions will function as CRPF Census Officers for the purpose of census operations 1991.. The CRPF Census Officers will be responsible for the enumeration of all persons residing strictly within the Unit areas. These Unit areas will

'be determined 1n consultation with the local authorities ,who are responsible for civil census arrangements, so that' respective census limits are clearly known to both civil and CRPF agencies. The CRPF Census Officers will obtain necessary Individual Slips and instructions from the concerned census authorities. Similarly, all enumeration slips after completion, will be handed over to the census authorities concerned. In Question 14A of the Individual Slip, the entry for CRPF personnel will be "Yes" and in Question 14B, the code will be "1".

Important Note For Defence personnel (All ranks in the Army, Navy and IAF) and para-military personnel answers against all questions in the census will be recorded.

18. CRPF personnel staying in areas other' than those mentioned in Para 16 above and also those living in hired accommodation in towns and areas outside Unit areas would be termed as residing in civil areas and enumeration here would be the responsibility of the civil census authorities.

Conclusion All Principal Census Officers are requested to get in touch imrned ia tely wi th the formations of the Defence/Para-Military organisations within their respective jurisdiction for taking further necessary steps as indicated in the foregoing pages. This Circular has dealt at length only in respect of instructions issued by the Defence, BSF and CRPF authorities for the conduct of census enumeration for

·the personnel of these organisations. Apart from these, there may be other para-military organi8ations within your jurisdictions (such as ITBP, CISF, SSB, etc. etc.) who will also have to be contacted and for whom personnel enumeration will also have to be done in accordance with the directions issued by the headquarters of these organisations. Once again, it should be ensured that no Unit or personnel of any unit of Defence, para-military organisations are left uncovered in the census count.

Yours Sincerely, Encls Ala

l'elda end Household Schedule Books, in particular, ere distribu­

ted soong the EnUmerators, these are distinctly nunbered seria­

lly wi thin e8ch charge. This, on the one hand, would en eble

eV'Qidanc€ of peds End Books getting nissed en d nbed up in the

field an d on the other, en suring receipt of ell filled up an d

unfilled Census Scheoules in the Charge/District off iceB & sub­

sequently their orderly &; systeMatic tranS1'lission to thE office

of the Director of Cen sus Operet ion 0, I'Unj 2b.

In order, therefore, to hsv€ a cO!"lplctE' invrntory of

Census records naint ained viz; Individual Slip pads 8D il HOU8e­

hold Schedule Books in the Charge Office, following procedure

is required to be edopteds-

b)

Similar order is required to bE: adopted in case of peds of 10 Slips. pads/books kept IilS reserve should 81so be l1unbered.

:ProcedurE: of nunber:ing indic8tEd as in (8) eoove should also De followed for Household Sche~ule Books of 23 & 11 forms.

Waile distributing House­hold schedule'Books" the population of 877 persons as in the above case should be divided by 5 to obtain no. of households. Hen ee, it would work-out as 176 house­hold and therefore, 7 Household Books(23 forns) end two books (11 forns) should he handed over to the said Enunerator. .
