What becomes of Manipur in Primary Census Abstract, 2011

The recently released primary census abstract data for 2011 tells that India now has a population of 1.21 billion persons. The date shows an increase of 181.96 million persons to the population of India over the decade 2001-2011. The growth of population for the decade 2001 to 2011 stood at 17.7 per cent against 21.5 per cent of the previous decade (1991 to 2001). The abstract data holds that 833.5 million persons are living in rural areas and 377.1 million persons are living in urban areas; accounting to an inference that more than 2/3rd of total population are living in rural areas (Press Information Bureau, 2013). Density of population for 2011 census has increased to 382 persons per sq.km. from 325 persons per sq.km. in 2001(Press Information Bureau, 2013).

Narrowing down to the primary census abstract data (excel sheet) for Manipur, the figure takes us to various data from population to work participation rate.

Manipur now has a population of 2.5 million persons (25 lakh) and; the populations for male and female are 1.29 million persons (12.9 lakh) and 1.28 million persons (12.8 lakh) respectively. This says that the sex ratio is very low and on calculation the approximated sex ratio is 992 females for every 1000 males.  Interestingly the sex ratio hits the roof when it comes to Scheduled Tribe (ST) where the sex ratio for ST says that there are 1002 females for every 1000 Males. The overall sex ratio figure of 992 for Manipur is behind the figure for Andhra Pradesh (993) in the top 5 states ranking for low sex ratio. Surprisingly, this standing fails to find a mention in the 'Presentation on Primary Census Abstract'.

There are 0.9 million (9 lakh) population of tribal in Manipur which attributed to 35 per cent of the total population of Manipur. There is a huge slump in the literacy rate in comparison to the provisional census data of 2011; upon calculation it is 69 per cent (approx). Male literacy rate stands at 74 per cent and for female it is 63 per cent. Work participation rate in Manipur is 45 per cent and subsequently work participation rate for male is 51 per cent and for female it is 38.5 per cent.

Census 2011

I don't understand all the negativity about the census. Anything that helps plans how to spend your taxes are spent (more) efficiently is good. People working in sensitive roles, mostly in the public sector anyway, will have already received guidance on how to complete the employment sections.

If you don't provide the information being asked by Census 2011, then you can't complain about public-sector wastage. The alternative is spending taxes on a private consultancy to perform the analysis. What would you prefer?

Not completing the form is as bad as not voting: you choose not to get involved, you have no right to complain.
