About Houselist Tables

           The filled in Houselist Schedules were edited and as much as 60 tables including 35 tables on SC/ST were generated on computer, whereas only 18 tables with 8 tables on SC/ST were prepared in 1991.  As the houseless population/households were not covered during Houselisting Operations, tables in H-series also exclude houseless population/household.  In order to avoid plausible delay in bringing out these tables/ publication ‘image based data capturing technology’ was resorted to the processing of Houselist data.  By this method, the filled-in Houselist Schedules were offline scanned  first and then, put through E-Flow of computers.  After processing, tailing and merging data tapes were produced at 15 D.D. Centres of various Census Directorates.  Later, data tapes were processed and tabulated by the Data Processing Division of Registrar General of India in different formats according to the Tabulation Plan of Census of India, 2001. 

 

           Generally, tables are presented in this volume at India, state and district level for total, rural and urban areas, though data tables have been generated at city/sub-district/other lower levels.  Data at City or Sub-district (Tahsil, etc.)/Town level in respect of some tables are available in electronic media.  More details on the presentation of tables in this volume, availability of data in Electronic format, etc. have been incorporated in the fly-leaf to each table.  However, requirement of data users are met by supplying the publication as such or a set of tables published in this volume or the data at lower levels other than published in this volume either in printed hard copy or electronic media on payment from the Data Dissemination Wing, Office of the Registrar General, India, North Wing, Sewa Bhavan (First floor), R.K. Puram, New Delhi, 110 066.  This is mainly for the convenience of data users and also to reduce the voluminous of the publication. 

 

           The tables generated from Houslist Data of Census of India 2001 inevitably for total, rural and urban areas are furnished below.  Of these, tables shown under ‘(E)’ are available  only  in Electronic format.  Other  tables are presented in this volume.  All  the tables were processed on full count of census houses using modern technology unlike that of 1991 Census, wherein tables were prepared on the basis of 20 per cent sample of census houses in case of bigger States with a population exceeding 10 million each and in smaller States and Union Territories on a cent per cent basis.
