BS Reporter / Chennai/ Bangalore Apr 14, 2010, 00:39 IST

Census 2011, the 45-day long mammoth exercise to capture information on housing, household amenities and, socio-economic and cultural profile of citizens, will be launched in Karnataka on Thursday.

The Census will involve nearly 110,000 officials, including enumerators. In the preliminary phase, from April 15 to June 1, housing data would be collected. The residents will have to answer 35 questions.

Data of the National Population Register (NPR) for the preparation of registers of all residents of the state would also be collected along with the house-listing operations, T K Anil Kumar, director, Directorate of Census Operations, Karnataka, told reporters, here on Tuesday.

The second or the main phase known as the Population Enumeration would be held from February 9 to February 28 next year (2011). The houseless households would be enumerated on the night of February 28, 2011.

The Census 2011, 15th since 1872, will be held in 30 districts, 176 taluks, 29,340 villages, 220 statutory towns, 127 census towns and 22 urban agglomerations. Apart from Principal Census Officers, who are also deputy commissioners of districts, 17,464 supervisors and 103,254 school teachers and officials of equivalent grade will be engaged in the exercise. Each enumerator has to visit 120 to 150 houses during the exercise.

Enumerators and supervisors would be paid an honorarium of Rs 5,500. They will collect data relating to house numbers, condition of the house, total number of residents, sex, ownership status of the house, availability of drinking water, source of drinking water, latrines within the premises, type of latrines, waste water outlet, kitchen, fuel used for cooking, radio, TV, computer/laptop, telephone, cell phone, bicycle, scooter/moped, car/jeep/van, and availability of banking services.

Data would also be collected for preparation of the first-ever NPR along with the house-listing schedule from April 15 to June 1. Fifteen questions will be asked for preparation of NPR which would include name of the person, relationship to head, father’s name, mother’s name, spouse’s house, sex, date of birth, marital status, place of birth, nationality as declared, present address of usual residence, duration of stay at present address, permanent residential address, occupation/activity and education qualification.

Photographs and fingerprints will be collected later for persons aged 15 years and above to create a biometric national database, Kumar said.

In Karnataka, preparations of NPR in 193 villages in three coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada were started in September last year and would be completed in April.
