Census of India 1991: provisional population totals

Shri Ram Lubhaya, Special Secretary, Cabinet Secretariate and G.A.D. has been instrumental in making things happen in the shortest period of time, and with total concern for effective census taking. We owe him our thanks. Several State Departments like Education, Community Development, Economics & Statistics, Public Relations, Printing & Stationery and the Department of Personnel deserve special mention for extending their utmost co-operation.
The Divisional Commissioners as Principal Census Officers and the Collectors as the District Census Officers played a pivotal role in successfully conducting and supervising census operations, despite their multifarious responsibilities. They were very well assisted by Additional District Magistrates, Sub-Divisional Officers, Tehsildars, Municipal Charge Officers and Special Charge Officers. The training supervisors, the supervisors and the enumerators, the basic census functionaries worked ceaselessly during the entire period of the field work to make 1991 Census Operations smooth & successful.
