In which SAARC country is census not undertaken?
Answers
Answer:
As part of their preparation for the 2010 global round of population and housing censuses, some countries are developing, testing, and implementing alternative techniques for collecting, processing and disseminating key statistics that used to be generated by the classic approach to population and housing censuses. Even so, the crucial principle of providing detailed statistics at the lowest geographical level remains of paramount importance.
When a country has contributed information about its census plans, that information is part of a menu selection following the general design description. Countries have been asked to describe the census design they are using, identify the extent to which this national exercise meets the four essential features of a population census, discuss the necessary conditions for implementing the method (including legal, policy, and technical issues), and provide Internet links providing additional information and other parameters.
Explanation:
All the censuses since 1951 were conducted under the 1948 Census of India Act. The last census was held in 2011, whilst the next will be held in 2021. But it is postponed due to the covid-19 pandemic.
