Census of India 1921-Bombay Presidency: General Report

1922

At this Census as in the past the taking of the Census of the Aden Settlment devolved upon me to the extent of having to supply all forms and Instructions for enumeration and subsequently all slips registers and forms required for the abstraction of the results. [...] But we may hope that at the next Census the discontent of the Village Officers and the antagonistic attitude of the public will both be things of the past. [...] Reference is invited to the Section of the 1st Chapter of this Report in which the Accuracy of the Census is discussed and still more to the discussions of Influenza mortality. [...] The obstacles to the introduction of the mechanical method are therefore—(1) the difficulty of getting a temporary staff of punchers good enough to classify before punching (2) the multiplicity of the vernaculars (3) the fact that the cards are at present only obtainable in the U.S. [...] It is well known that the Indian Census reports of the preceding decades especially those of 1901 and 1911 devoted their main attention not so much to the statistical treatment of the figures as to the incorporation of numerous notes and discussions on the ethnography and anthropology of the Indian peoples.
