18th November, Key Note Address
by Smt. Seema Jain, IAS
Joint Secretary to Govt. of India & Director Census, Punjab and
Secretary, Welfare of SCs/BCs, Punjab

2. Data Dissemination Activity
Census is the most comprehensive source of information.
Use of technology in data processing has helped in placing the data in public domain on full count basis quite quickly.
Tables on Houses, Household Amenities and Assets, female headed households, slum population, and Primary Census Abstract (PCA) giving final data for total population and SC/ST population up to village/ward level have since been released.
Data available on printed as well as electronic format.
Today’s workshop is part of the ‘Census Data Dissemination’ activity being carried out by the Directorate of Census Operations, Punjab in collaboration with Department of Centre for Census Studies and Research (CCSR),Punjabi University, Patiala.

3. What is Population Census?
Population Census - Total process of collecting, compiling, evaluating, analysing and publishing or otherwise disseminating demographic, economic and social data pertaining, at a specified time, to all persons in a country or in a well-delimited part of a country.

4. Plan for Census outputs and Data Dissemination
Important to make available the information
collected to potential users in a form suited to their
needs.
Used by:
- Government departments
- Educational institutions
- Voluntary organizations, Corporate houses
- Research scholars and individual data users
(Both within and outside the country)

5. POPULATION CENSUS TAKING IN INDIA:
In India, Population Census is mandated by the Census Act, 1948 (Act No. 37 of 1948).
Population Census in India is a herculean task whose success depends enormously on the efficiency and effectiveness of the hierarchy in the field.
 Necessary for the census officers to be in regular touch with their field hierarchy and to monitor their activities closely.
Great national task- Everybody is expected to display extraordinary zeal, interest and energy for its performance.
People’s cooperation is vital in smooth conduct of the population census

6. Consultations with stakeholders
Draft questionnaire is developed after consultations with representatives of various ministries of central and state governments, national and international voluntary organizations, population research centres, statistical institutions, universities, eminent demographers and social scientists.
Draft questionnaire is placed before Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) constituted by Government of India for pretest.
Pretest - is a full scale exercise conducted in selected rural and urban charges.
Results and field experience questionnaire is finalized for consideration of the TAC and approval of the Central Government is obtained.

11. CENSUS 2011 - SOCIAL MARKETING PLAN
Outreach programme launched in collaboration with 2 major line
Departments having village level presence.

12. Social Marketing of census
Social Marketing is the Practice of Utilizing the Philosophy, Tools, and Practices of Commercial Marketing for Health and/or Social Programs. This technique was used in Punjab for marketing census to the local community.
Social Marketing Sells a Behavior Change to a Targeted Group of Individuals to accept a New Behavior and Modify a Current Behavior.
The main challenge of census is initially, low-visibility, inadequate ownership and general indifference of the local community . The census officials in many areas face the challenges of inadequate public participation, specially in areas of seasonal labour, migrants and rented/multiple-occupied dwellings etc. particularly known hard-to-count areas, remote villages and in border areas.
The Social marketing plan seeks to achieve behavior change from one of indifference and non-concern about census to that of active involvement and participation

13. NEED FOR SOCIAL MARKETING OF CENSUS
Methodology- Departments of Rural Development and Panchayats, Local Bodies and Women and Child (ICDS) Department were selected on account of their being direct users of census data and due to their advocacy role through field presence, well-defined departmental hierarchies and manpower at local level.
District level data presented in informal meetings in villages by departmental staff.
marketing plan worked as a ‘High-impact, low cost intervention’ focussed on bringing about local ownership of the census through the existing departmental networks
Outcomes- Social marketing plan provided the following advantages-
Inclusive participation at two levels- firstly, departmental staff and through them the local residents so that ownership of the entire programme is ensured.
Building up a sustained Pre-enumeration publicity through outreach and mass contact.

19. Villages with population 10,000 and above

20. Uninhabited villages
Mainly confined to the narrow belt along the Ravi, Beas and Satluj rivers.
How far such an extensive land should have remained untapped for human settlement in a fast growing population scenario? Or
How best such lands can be made use of in case they are otherwise unsuited for any human settlement?

Population by size class of towns
Nearly three-fifths of the urban population in 16 cities (class I towns with population 100,000+ ).
More than one-fourth of urban population (26.7%) is concentrated in two million + cities - Ludhiana and Amritsar.

25. SC PCA
The total scheduled caste population returned in Census 2011 is lac. Of this, lac are in rural areas and lac in urban areas.
In terms of proportion, the scheduled caste population constitutes 31.9 per cent of the total population. The proportion during Census 2001 was 28.9%. There has thus been an increase of 3.0 percentage points during the last decade. The highest proportion has been recorded in SBS Nagar (42.5%) and the lowest in SAS Nagar (21.7%).
The scheduled caste population in absolute numbers has increased by lac. This constitutes a decadal growth rate of per cent.
In terms of gender composition, there are lac male scheduled castes (Rural: lac and Urban: lac). Female scheduled castes numbered lac (Rural lac and Urban: lac).
In Punjab, no caste/tribe has been notified as scheduled tribe.

26. Age data - need and UTILTY
Age-sex structure represents one of the most fundamental characteristics of population.
Age statistics are important as most of the socio-demographic analysis is performed according to age and sex variables.
Apart from purely demographic concerns, the data on age –sex structure are widely required for a variety of administrative, scientific, technical and commercial purposes.
Many types of schemes, particularly, planning of community institutions and services for children, adolescents, youth, elderly require data on age composition.
Age is important in measuring mean age at marriage, potential school population, potential voting population, potential manpower availability, etc.

27. Data on age is collected since the first Census in1872.
AGE DATA - CENSUS OF INDIA
Data on age is collected since the first Census in1872.
Up to Census 2001, a direct question on age was recorded.
In Census 1991, Tables on age were published based on a sample tabulation of 10% forms.
In Census 2001, Tables on age were published on full count basis.
In Census 2011, for the first time, data on both date of birth and age has been recorded.
Results on age in Census 2011 have been compiled based on responses in these two questions on a full count basis.
Digit preferences (number ending with 0 or 5) in age reporting reduced considerably in Census 2011.
Inclusion of D.O.B. in Census 2011 has helped in minimizing error due to heaping of age ending at digits ‘0’ and ‘5’.

28. Slum - an urban phenomena
In India, slums have been defined under Section 3 of the Slum Act (Improvement and Clearance) Act, The Census describes slums as “residential areas where dwellings are unfit for human habitation by reasons of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangements and design of such buildings, narrowness or faulty arrangement of streets, lack of ventilation, light, or sanitation facilities or any combination of these factors which are detrimental to the safety and health”.
As per UN Habitat a slum is characterised by lack of durable housing, insufficient living area, lack of access to clean water, inadequate sanitation and insecure tenure.

29. Slum – Census of India Census 2001
For the first time in 2001 Census, slum areas were earmarked across the country in cities and towns having a population of 50,000 or above in 1991 Census.
Subsequently, slum data was culled out for towns with population in range of 20, ,999 in 2001 and statutory towns having a population of less than 50,000 in 2001 but were not considered for carving slum EBs earlier.
Census 2011
Slums have been earmarked in all statutory towns, irrespective of their population size, based on the same definition as in 2001.
Three types of slums have been defined namely, ‘Notified’, ‘Recognized’ and ‘Identified’.

30. Definition and types of slums – Census 2011
(i) All areas in a town or city notified as ‘’ Slum’ by the State/ UT administration or Local Government under any Act including a ‘Slum Act’. May be considered as Notified slums.
(ii) All areas recognized as ‘Slum’ by State/ UT administration or Local Government, Housing and Slum Boards, but may have not been formally notified as slum under any Act may be considered as Recognized Slums.
(iii) A compact area of at least 300 population or about households of poorly built congested tenements in unhygienic environment usually with inadequate infrastructure and lacking in proper sanitary and drinking water facilities. Such areas should be identified personally by the Census Charge Officer and also inspected by an officer nominated by Census directorate. This fact must be duly recorded in the Charge register. Such areas may be considered as Identified Slums .

33. Data on Disability
Census 2011 data on disability released is based on the processing and tabulation of actual data captured from household schedules and the generation of basic data from household schedules is a fully computerized exercise. The data gives absolute number of disabled cross-classified by sex, age, place of residence, type of disability, for total population, scheduled caste population and scheduled tribe population at state/district level. Data released is more elaborate as within the conceptual frame adopted in 2001Census, some changes/modifications have been introduced in Census For example, as against five types in 2001, there are eight types of disability in Census 2011 which also includes ‘multiple’ disability. ‘Any other’ type has been specifically included to ensure complete coverage and enable the respondents to report those disabilities which are not listed in the question. Query to this question was designed to cover most of the disabilities listed in the “Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995” and “The National Trust Act, 1999”.

34. Houses, Household Amenities and Assets

35. Houselisting and Housing Census
