| Crucial Census Exercise: Jammu needs to imitate Kashmir | | | RUSTAM
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 23: Census is an important exercise. This exercise is undertaken after every ten years. The Registrar General of India organizes this very significant exercise. It is the duty of the enumerators and supervisors to bring each and every citizen on record and other relevant information about the persons brought on record - their permanent addresses, their educational qualifications, their economic condition, the size of their families, the professions they are in, the size of pieces of land they own and the nature of soil, the number of vehicles they own, the type of houses they live in and so on. In fact, the enumerators and supervisors, who put in hard labour, bring everything on record. It is on this basis that national population registered is prepared - register that contains information about each and every citizen of the country. It is this exercise that helps the authorities know the number of persons living below poverty line in every district/every province.
It is on the basis of the census figures that the status of the cities and towns is determined. It is on the basis of the census figures that the categorization of all the cities is done. A class city means more population and more facilities, more roads, more educational institutions, more and well-equipped hospitals, more allowances to the government employees and more wards of the municipal corporation. It is on the basis of the population that each city, each town and each village gets what is its legitimate due in all spheres. It is the size of the population of a particular town and city that requires the concerned authorities to take appropriate decisions in order to meet the needs and requirements of the people of the said town and city. Some of them range from water supply to power supply to civic amenities to healthcare facilities to the supply of ration under public distribution system to educational needs and to what not. It is on the basis of the census figures that the assembly and parliamentary constituencies are delimited afresh. It is on the census figures that the size of panchayats and other local-self governing institutions. It is on the basis of population of a city/town/district/province that funds for the developmental activities are allocated. More the population more the funds and more the funds greater the possibility of development.
Again, it is the census exercise that enables the authorities know the number of households in a village/town/city/district/province/state. Similarly, it is the census exercise that helps the authorities know the number electric connections, water connections and telephone connections and so on. In other words, the well-being and development of the people inhabiting a particular village/town/city/district/province/state depends on the size of its population and the related information. In other words, census exercise is very crucial and it needs to be viewed as such. Those who remain careless during the census operations, they suffer enormous losses in all the spheres and at all levels. The people of Kashmir know the significance of census exercise. That's the reason they are taking part in this exercise with great enthusiasm. (To be continued)
