Provisional Population totals 3

This is the first publication of the 2011 Census in the form of Paper – 1 of2011 Census. This publication aims at making available certain provisional figuresrelating to the population of the State as well as the country to the Governmentand the people immediately after the enumeration. The 2011 Census is the 4th

Census conducted in the state with a separate Directorate.It has been the tradition of the Census to bring out provisional results within

few days after the completion of Census, a feat which perhaps, no country in theworld could achieve. We are happy that we have been able to keep up thetradition and release the provisional figures within the target date after completingthe census successfully.

This would not have been possible without the excellent co-operation of theState Government. The Government of Mizoram has at every stage of this massiveoperation helped this Organisation to the fullest possible extent.His excellency, theGovernor of Mizoram,Lt.General (Rtd) M.M. Lakhera, PVSM, AVSM, VSM, and theHon’ble Chief Minister of Mizoram Shri Lalthanhawla have themselves made appealto the public through Doordarshan and A.I.R both on the eve of Houselisting andMain Enumeration, pointing out the importance of this National Task and requestingthem to co-operate with Census Officials. This had helped a lot in creatingawareness and enthusiasm amongst the people of the State about Census.

In particular, I am thankful to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Mizoram,Shri Vanhela Pachuau, IAS, for the excellent assistance rendered in issuing themuch needed instructions to various Departments of the State Government inconnection with Census Operations. I am also thankful to Shri Lalsawta, PrincipalSecretary, G.A.D. Govt. of Mizoram and his Officers and the Staff for extending allco-operation for co-ordinating the Census work in the State in the manner requiredto be done by this Organisation. The excellent co-operation extended by all eightDeputy Commissioners in their capacities of Principal Census Officers, had gonea long way in making this census a complete success. The Additional DeputyCommissioners. Sub-Divisional Census officers, Asst. District Census Officers intheir capacities of Census Officers, have contributed largely to the success ofthis Operation. It would not have been possible to carry out this gigantic tasksmoothly unless the energetic and enthusiastic Charge Officers, who were mostlyBlock Development Officers and Research Officers etc. had given their best andhad taken timely action at the field level for smooth completion of census. TheSupervisors and Enumerators are the workers who are mainly engaged in actualdata collection at field level. I am thankful to them for their excellent performancein the field and also helping us in maintaining the strict time schedule.

I would like to record my sincere acknowledgements for Director, Education,for extending his co-operation which resulted in our utilizing the large Army ofSchool and College Teachers as Enumerators and Supervisors, I am thankful tothe Heads of all other state Government Departments who have helped us incarrying out the census operations successfully.

4. In working out ‘decadal variation’ and ‘percentage decadal variation’ for 1941-1951 & 1951-1961 of India and Nagaland State, the population of Tuensang District for 1951 (7,025) & thepopulation of Tuensang (83,501) & Mon (50,774) districts for 1961 Census have not beentaken into account as the area was censused for the frst time in 1951 and the same arenot comparable.

5. The 1981 Census could not be held owing to disturbed conditionsprevailing in Assam. Hence the population fgures for 1981 of Assam have been worked outby ‘Interpolation’.

Census 2011marks a milestone in the history of Census taking in thecountry. It has come at a time when India is perhaps at an inflexion pointin history, when it sheds the legacy of the past and emerges among thecomity of Nations as a strong, selfreliant and modern Nation. The basicbenchmark statistics on the state of human resources, demography, cultureand economic structure at this crucial juncture of the country’s history wouldbe vital to guide and shape the future course of the Nation.

In a country like India, with multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural andmultilevel society, the Census is much more than a mere head count of thepopulation. It gives a snapshot of not only the demographic but also theeconomic, social and cultural profile of the country at a particular point oftime. More often than not, it is the only available source of primary data atthe level of the village and town (ward). It provides valuable information forplanning and formulation of policies by the Government and is also usedwidely by National and International agencies, scholars, business persons,industrialists, and many more. In addition, the Census provides a basicframe for conduct of other surveys in the country. Any informed decisionmaking that is based on empirical data is dependent on the Census.Democratic processes like the delimitation of electoral constituencies andaffirmative action like reservation are also based on the basic data sets ofthe Census. It has indeed come a long way from what was described as“the idle curiosity of an eccentric sirkar” (Molony,1911)1 . No wonder therefore,that Census 2011 has adopted an apt tagline – “Our Census, Our Future”!METHODOLOGY

The Census of India is conducted once in a decade, following anextended de facto canvasser method. Under this approach, data is collectedfrom every individual by visiting the household and canvassing the samequestionnaire all over the country, over a period of three weeks. The countis then updated to the reference date and time by conducting a RevisionRound. In the Revision Round, any changes in the entries that arise onaccount of births, deaths and migration between the time of the enumeratorsvisit and the reference date/time is noted down and the record updated.InCensuses until 1931, a synchronous de facto method was adopted whereinthe Census was conducted throughout the country on a single night. Thismethod, besides being costly, required the deployment of an extremely largeforce of Census takers. This method was given up in the 1941 Census andthe present method adopted. In Census 2011, the canvassing of thequestionnaire was done from 9th of February 2011 to 28th of February 2011.A Revision Round was then conducted from 1st to 5th of March 2011 andthe count updated to the Reference Moment of 00:00 hours on the 1st ofMarch 2011.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTUREIn India, the population Census is a Union Subject (Article 246) and is

listed at serial number 69 of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. TheCensus Act, 1948 forms the legal basis for the conduct of Censuses inindependent India. Although the Census Act is an instrument of CentralLegislation, in the scheme of its execution the State Governments providethe administrative support for the actual conduct of the Census.

Notes

1. J. Chartres Molony,Superintendent ofCensus, Madras, 1911:“The Village Officer,source of all Indianinformation, is therecorder of his village,and it well may be thatamid the toils of keepingaccounts and collectingmamuls, he pays scantheed to what he and hisfriends consider the idlecuriosity of an eccentricsirkar”.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

20

The Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, Indiais an attached office under the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Governmentof India. Its main responsibility is to conceive, plan and implement Censustaking in the country. The organization is headed by the Registrar Generaland Census Commissioner, India. There are field offices in all the Statesand Union Territories (except the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveliand the Union Territory of Daman and Diu, which are attached to the officeat Gujarat), which are headed by the Directors of Census Operations, whoare responsible for the conduct of Census in their respective jurisdictions.

Being a Census Directorate harein Mizoram a lot of organisational workhas also to be done before the Actual Enumeration can be taken up asother States. Without careful advance planning, it is not possible to conductCensus successfully. The problems faced by the Directorate of Census indifferent states are of different types. Directorate of Census Operations,Mizoram, was in no exception. The difficulties faced by the Directorate wasof various kinds e.g. Communication, Administration etc. However, withcareful planning and co-operation of the Government of Mizoram, thisstupendous task was conducted successfully and in time in the State.Finalization of villages and towns:

The first requirement for conducting a census is to clearly list out all theadministrative units for which the data would have to be compiled andpresented. For this, the list of Villages and Urban areas had to be finalized.The initial step in this direction was taken sometime during 1998. Inspite ofsuch early initiation of action, it was difficult to finalise the list of villages intime because of various reasons. The list kept on changing in certain RuralDevelopment Blocks even when the Houselisting Operation was beingconducted during the months of May and June 2010. However, Urban Areascould be finalized well in advance with active Co-operation of StateGovernment. Once the administrative units were clearly identified, the StateGovernment was requested to ensure that no changes in the administrativestatus of the Districts, Sub-Divisions R.D. Blocks and Towns were madeuntil the 2011 Census was completed. The State Government issued suitableinstructions to that effect and such administrative units remained unchangedas desired.

So far Urban Areas are concerned, there has been an addition of oneTown, Lawngtlai, the capital of Lawngtlai District after 2001 Census. In 2001census there were 21 towns in Mizoram and as a new town is notified,altogether we have 22 towns in 2011 census.

The District–wise distribution of villages and towns is as follows:-

Districts No.of inhabited villages No. of TownsMamit 87 3Kolasib 39 4Aizawl 97 4Champhai 84 4Serchhip 34 3Lunglei 163 3Lawngtlai 161 1Saiha 54 1

Preparation of working Maps:On the basis of the finalized list of villages, Working Maps for each

Rural Development Block showing clearly the location of the villages, wereprepared in the Map Section of the Directorate in consultation with DeputyCommissioners, Sub-Divisional Officers and Block Development Officers.These Maps were necessary to ensure accuracy in coverage.

Though the Town Maps were generally available from the Directorate ofLand Revenue and Settlement, Government of Mizoram, the other detailsin the maps were plotted on the spot by the Draftsman of the Directoratewho paid visit almost to all the Towns in Mizoram. Preparation of GIS TownMap was carried out during 1998, field survey was done by a reliable NGO(i.e. YMA) within the stipulated time. GIS survey was completed and thesame is useful for 2011.Census Hierarchy:

At the National level, conducting of census is the responsibility of theRegistrar General and Census Commissioner, India, Ministry of Home Affairs,who is the highest Officer in the Census Hierarchy. At the State and UnionTerritory level, Directors of Census Operations are responsible for theconduct of Census Operations under the overall directions and guidance ofthe Registrar General, India. A Census hierarchy is set up within the StateAdministration under the Census Act. The Hierarchy set up for 2011 Censusis shown below. The designation of the officer of the State Government withthe jurisdiction of the Census Officer is also shown below:

For Aizawl Town, 12 Charge Officers were appointed and 3 ChargeOfficers were appointed for Lunglei town, 2 charge officers each appointedfor Champhai, Serchhip and Kolasib. For other remaining towns of Saiha,Lawngtlai, Mamit, one charge officer each was appointed. The total no. ofCharge officers in the State was 64. The number of Supervisors andEnumerators appointed for 2011 Census of Main Enumeration were 491and 2320 respectively.

The Enumeration of personnel in Army, Paramilitary Organisation andother restricted organisations was carried out by forming special chargeswithin such organization and appointing personnel from these organisations.Houselisting NPR Operations:

The main Enumaration of 2011 Census was preceded by another bigoperation known as House-listing and NPR operations. The House-listingoperations which included House-numbering operation was conducted duringMay-June 2010, all the Houses in the State were numbered and a form wasfilled in, namely House-list form, in which detailed like condition of the house,amenities available in the house, were asked from each Household. TheNon-Residential Houses were also numbered and listed. The purpose foreach Census House was recorded. This list served as the frame for theActual Enumeration.

Along with the Houselist Form, another form known as the NPR schedulewas canvassed which involve collecting data of all citizens living in thecountry. Details particulars of all individuals were collected through the NPRSchedule, for the purpose of obtaining biometrics and ultimately providingunique identification number to all citizens of India.Main Enumeration:

The main Enumeration was conducted simultaneously throughout thecountry from 9th Feb. to 28th 2011, except in snow bound areas etc. withRevisional Round from 1st March to 5th March 2011. The aim of the RevisionalRound was to revisit the households and mainly to take into account thebirths and deaths occurring till 28th February, 2011, in order to relate theinformation to the reference point.

The Enumeration was carried out in 24 Rural and 26 Urban Charges.All together 468 Supervisory Circles and 2279 Enumeration Blocks wereformed during the Main Enumeration in entire Mizoram.

The Enumeration Blocks formed during the House-listing Operationswere more or less retained during the Main Enumeration with minor changesdepending on population. The Enumerators first had to prepare a Mapshowing the Block Boundaries with permanent features and important landmarks and showing all the structures within the block. The Abridged Houselistwhich was prepared on the basis of each Houselist Schedule for each E.B.,was made available to the Enumerators. The Enumerators job was to moveabout systematically within his Block from the first house to the last houseand update this list wherever he found changes have taken place afterHouselisting Operations. Then the Enumerator had to canvass, HouseholdSchedules within their respective Enumeration Blocks.

Household Schedules were canvassed for each individual irrespectiveof age and was filled in for each and every individual in the HouseholdSchedule.


Training And Supervision: Training and Supervision are the two most vital inputs for improvement

of the quality of field work in Census. Therefore, extensive arrangementswere made for training of all categories of Census Officials at different level,both for the House-listing Operations and the Main Enumeration.

Training was arranged at the State Level for all Census Officials startingfrom Principal Census Officers to Charge Officers for both phases of theOperations. For the same Officials again training was imparted at DistrictLevel. Thereafter more or less four training programmes were arranged byeach Charge officer where the Supervisors and Enumerators attended. Thisarrangement was done for both the Operations. The staff of Directorate ofCensus were sent out to far flung places to assist the Charge Officer inimparting training.

Besides the above, 50 Master Trainers were appointed to trainSupervisors and Enumerators. Special mention may be made about trainingstrategy. For 2011 Census, ORGI and UNICEF took part for effective trainingboth for the first phase and the second phase operations of Census of India2011. In case of Mizoram we had 1 (one) National trainer from an NGO and2 (two) Master Trainer Facilitator during Housing Census and NPRoperations. At district level training, the trainers and the facilitators impartedtraining to charge officers and Master trainers, the training lasted for 3 days(non-residential) during first and second phase operations. At the same time,1 (one) GMTF (Gender Master Trainer Facilitator) appointed for our Statefrom an NGO mainly to deal with sensitization of women deserves to bementioned. Due to the deep devotion and hard labour of all censusfunctionaries, our Census was completed in time and with great success.

Extensive supervision was also arranged for both the operations. Inaddition to the supervision done by the Charge Officers and other CensusOfficers, detailed supervision work was arranged by the Directorate ofCensus in order to cover as much Enumerators as possible in the shortestperiod of time. The coverage of supervision was extensive.

The Charge Officers from Special Charges from entire Mizoram werealso given intensive training at Aizawl and Lawngtlai during January 2011.

Release of Provisional data and submission of Forms:A Calendar was drawn up for the Charge Officers, indicating there-in

the time target set for relaying of Provisional figures and submission offorms. The Provisional figures for males, females, total persons, femaleliterates, male literates and total literates were relayed by all Charge Officersto the Principal Census Officers who in turn relayed them to the Directorof Census Operations who further relayed them to the Registrar Generalfor publication of provisional population figure in the form of paper-I by thetarget date. This paper, which is the first for 2011 Census Publication,presents data on some basic characteristics of the population of Mizorambased on the provisional figures.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

The scanning of the schedules will now begin at theData Dissemination Centre at Guwahati and final and firm population figureswill be available in the form of various publications in due course of time.New Features of Census of India 2011:

In different censuses, some new features were included to provideto the extent possible, data to the users. In the same way during 2011 censusalso, if we compare with the last census (2001), a number of refreshingnew items, questions etc. were incorporated in the household schedules.The ‘date of birth’ was newly added along with age.

Decadal Variation in Population:It can be seen from the Table-2 that the percentage decadal variation

in population of the state from 1901 to 2011 fluctuated between the lowestpercentage of 7.9 during 1911-1921 and highest percentage of 48.55 during1971-81 and then from 1981-1991 it was continuously decreased in everydecade till 2001-2011 (i.e. 22.78 percent).

Upto 1971 Census the present state of Mizoram was a district of Assamknown as Mizo district. It becomes a Union Territory of Mizoram in the year1972 having three districts of Aizawl, Lunglei and Chhimtuipui. In the year1987 it became a state without any change in the geographical jurisdictionof those three districts. Accordingly until 1991 Census the state had thosethree districts but it was further reorganized in the year 1998 and the totalno. of district became eight.

A comparison of the districtwise variation of figures will indicate that theincrease in population of Mamit district was highest during 1971-1981 andit reached to (-) ve growth during 1991-2001 which was due to out-migrationof some inhabitants of the district during the period under reference. Fourdistricts i.e. Aizawl, Lunglei, Lawngtlai and Saiha out of 8 districts showedcontinuous decreased of decadal growth rate during last four decades andremaining four district’s growth rate fluctuated in every Census during lastfour decades.

Sex Ratio:Number of males and females in a population is one of its main features

which are reflected by sex ratio. The sex ratio is calculated by the numberof females per 1000 males.
