Agartala, Apr 26 : The Housing Census and National Population Register (NPR) canvassing work in Tripura today began from Chief Minister Manik Sarkar's house.
Director of Census Operation (Tripura) Dilip Acharjee said the Government of India had started canvassing all personal information of the individual, along with the residence lists, which will be maintained by unique identification number as ready reference for any use for the first time in India.
Formally, NPR preparation work began with registering information of Mr Sarkar and his family members this morning. The Chief Minister urged the people to cooperate with enumerators for household survey and to collect data for NPR as part of Census-2010.
''The mammoth task of Census is being taken up with missionary zeal and dedication. We expect both enumerators and supervisors to do the job sincerely so far as data collection is concerned and they are also expected to motivate the people, which will ultimately reflect the national sprit of unity and diversity,'' Mr Sarkar pointed out.
Meanwhile, Census officials urged peoples' participation on large scale and said the Census would provide information on size, distribution and socio-economic, demographic and other characteristics of the population, which would be used for planning and policy-making, besides evaluation of management and need for development.
