Experts say that this delay is impacting government schemes and programmes.

The Union home ministry on Tuesday told the Lok Sabha that India’s decennial census 2021 has been deferred till further orders due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

India’s first census was conducted in 1872. The census determines the country’s population, literacy rate, migration, and demographics like age, gender and marital status along with housing and economic activity, among other key factors. The last census was conducted in 2011.

“Due to outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, the Census 2021 and the related field activities have been postponed until further orders,” Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai said on Tuesday.

He was responding to a question raised by Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party MP Pocha Brahmananda Reddy in the Lok Sabha.

Reddy had asked whether the government was aware that the data on various schemes was not being updated and the beneficiaries were being ignored as the decennial census had been delayed. Reddy also asked if the government was considering any interim measures to tide over the situation.
