Slide 5: 

The concept of population is derived from the Latin word ‘populous‘ which stands for a people, political community or a nation . In a statistical sense, population means the entire set of objects about which we require information, or with which we are dealing but in general sense it is the total number of people who live in a specific area, such as a particular country or a town or city. The term Census has been derived from the Latin word “censere” which means value or tax. But the dictionary meaning is the process of officially counting, especially a country’s population, and recording various facts. Population Census is the total process of collecting, compiling, analyzing or otherwise disseminating demographic, economic and social data pertaining at specific time to all persons in a country or in a well defined part of a country. Census of India 2001 was the first Census of the 21st Century .The first Census, though non-synchronous, was taken in 1871. The first synchronous Census was taken in 1881. Census of India 2001 was the 14th Census and 6th since independence. About Population Census
