34 queries in Census 2020 form
The Registrar General of India has asked all States to “give highest importance, attention and time” to the Census and National Population Register work as “the foundations of the statistics of the country” depend on them. In a 14-page letter, dated January 29 and addressed to all the Directors of Census Operations in the States, Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India Vivek Joshi said, “The district level officials must be reminded of the importance of the census work and on ensuring that a clear message is sent to the charge officers to give the highest importance and attention for the House Listing and NPR work, on the results of which depend the foundations of the statistics of the country.” The decennial census exercise will be conducted in two phases — House Listing and Housing Census from April to September 2020 and Population Enumeration from February 9 to February 28, 2021. According to Citizenship Rules 2003, NPR is the first step towards compilation of the NRC, though the government informed Parliament on February 4 that “till now, the government has not taken any decision to prepare National Register of Indian Citizens at the national level.” On Monday, the official Twitter handle of Census India said “division level meeting & training for #CensusIndia2021 & updation of NPR” was held in Lucknow. The “pretest” or the trial NPR form collected details from 30 lakh respondents last year on 21 parameters, seeking specific details on “place of birth of father and mother, last place of residence” along with other information like Aadhar, voter ID card, mobile phone and driving license numbers.
