About National Population Census 2078

National Population Census was conducted from Kartik 25 to Mangshir 9 with the help of thousands of enumerators & supervisors. Earlier, the supervisors did household indexation noting the family head’s name, number of members in the house, number of people living outside the house (abroad or other places inside Nepal), etc. Then, the enumerators performed the main job of filling detailed questionnaires by going to each & every household.

Very different from the last census of 2068, this year’s census included many more questions regarding education, work & marital status along with maternity rate. Also, questions regarding the use of mobile/smartphones, access to the internet were also asked. CBS used to prefer teachers for the census in the past while this time, students were given opportunities. Census is a very important term for the whole country to examine the total population for allocating development budgets & planning adequately.
