VELLORE: The Director of Census Operations, Tamil Nadu, S.
Gopalakrishnan, conducted on Tuesday a training workshop for the
Commissioner of the Vellore Corporation, and Commissioners of
Municipalities and tahsildars in Vellore and Tiruvannamalai districts.
They would function as charge officers for the 2011 Census on the
methodology for enumerating the people of the two districts during the
second stage of the census to be undertaken from February 9 to 28, 2011.
These charge officers would, later, conduct training for the actual
enumerators.
Mr. Gopalakrishnan said that the house listing and housing census and
the creation of the National Population Register, which formed the
first stage of Census 2011 was undertaken between June 1 and July 15,
2010. A total of 1.50 lakh enumerators would be involved in the actual
census operations to be undertaken next year throughout Tamil Nadu while
27 lakh enumerators would be on the job throughout India.
He said that a detailed questionnaire has been prepared for eliciting
details from the members of the households during the census.
He requested the public to cooperate with the Census staff in giving
information since the Census formed the basis for the delimitation of
constituencies and for formulating the policies of the Government of
India on matters concerning implementation of literacy programmes and
providing employment opportunities to the people.
The Director said that once the details have been collected in the
format, the signature of the member of the household would be obtained
on the questionnaire and a sticker pasted outside the house to indicate
the completion of enumeration in a particular house.
Vellore District Collector C. Rajendran presided over the training
programme. E. Saravanavelraj, District Revenue Officer, Udayakumar,
Personal Assistant (General) to the Collector, K.R. Selvaraj,
Commissioner of Vellore Corporation, T.V. Manjunatha, District Forest
Officer, Vellore, Rajendran, DFO, Tiruvannamalai, and Ranganathan and
Srinivasan, Census Coordinators participated in the meeting.
