Emphasizing the importance of the exercise, Dr. Jain stated that the Census is a national responsibility through which every citizen contributes to the nation’s development, policy formulation, and equitable distribution of resources. He further informed that refusal to provide required information to census officials or non-cooperation with them constitutes a punishable offence under the Census Act. He urged all citizens to participate actively in this national exercise and ensure that their census is duly recorded.
