Census likely from early 2025, no call yet on caste

Census likely from early 2025, no call yet on caste

The much-delayed decadal Census exercise and the work to update the National Population Register (NPR) are likely to begin early 2025 and the data will be declared by 2026, thus changing future Census cycles completely, official sources said.

However, no decision has been taken yet on whether caste Census will also be carried out along with the general Census.

The Census is recorded every decade, with the first one being held in 1872. The first Census post-Independence was recorded in 1951 and the last one in 2011. But the Census work in 2021 could not be carried out due to the Covid-19 pandemic. So far, no formal announcement has been made on its next schedule.
