2021 was supposed to be the year of the decadal census in India. This exercise has not been delayed even once until 2011 since 1881, when India conducted its first full census.

Every day, the data and political economy team of the Hindustan Times brings you stories we call Number Theory. They are based on databases from India and sometimes even abroad. We will continue to do this in the New Year as well. However, to give tradition and our readers a welcome-break, we have decided to do a wish-list on behalf of the data and political economy team. The stories we do depend on availability of data. In most cases, whether or not such data is available, is a function of the government deciding to collect or publish such data. Here are four databases our team would like to have access to in 2022.

This exercise has not been delayed even once until 2011 since 1881, when India conducted its first full census. 2021 is over and we do not know what the progress is vis-à-vis the conduct of this all-important data collection exercise. In a response to a Lok Sabha question on December 7, 2021 the government simply said that the 2021 census and related activities “had been postponed” in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. This decision would have made sense a year ago, when we knew little about the pandemic and did not have vaccines.
