Millennium Post Delhi
|Delhi 18 September 2024
Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Tuesday that the government will "very soon" reveal plans for conducting the long-awaited national census.
-
The decennial population count, originally scheduled for 2021, has faced significant delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking at a press conference marking 100 days of the NDA government's third term, Shah responded to questions about the census, stating: "We will announce it very soon." The Home Minister, joined by Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, addressed growing concerns over the delayed population survey.
The census, a crucial tool for policymaking and resource allocation, has been conducted every ten years in India since 1881. The pandemic disrupted plans for the first phase of this decade's count, initially set to begin on April 1, 2020.
