Extract from the article:
The article highlights the delayed process of
India's Census in 2021 due to a lack of economic data, marking the first census
since 2011.
This delay underlines the challenges in capturing
accurate and up-to-date information essential for effective governance and
policymaking.
The significance of this census lies in its
digital transformation, with an estimated expenditure of Rs 12,000 crore to
establish a digital framework, including the use of a mobile app for data
collection.
This transition from manual to digital data
collection processes indicates a crucial shift towards efficiency and accuracy
in data management for better decision-making.
My Take:
2021-22
Budget Blues- Digital Census
"In my blog post about the digital census, I
foresaw the government's substantial investment in digitizing the census
process, estimated at Rs 12,000 crore.
The shift towards using mobile apps for data
collection aligns with the current need for efficient and modernized data
management systems.
It's impressive to see the implementation of
digital solutions to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of data for the
upcoming census, paving the way for more effective governance."
Census
2021: An Unprecedented Opportunity
"Reflecting on my past blog, I emphasized
the importance of capturing employment data and the need for regular updates in
the census process.
The introduction of a mobile app for data
collection, as mentioned in the current article, resonates with the innovative
approach I suggested in enabling individuals to update their personal data
regularly.
This digital transformation brings a new
dimension to data accuracy and accessibility, aligning with the evolving needs
of a dynamic society."
Call to Action:
To the authorities involved in India's Census
2021, including Shri Rajiv Gauba and Shri Vivek Joshi, I urge a seamless
execution of the digital census process.
Enhancing public awareness about the significance
of this digital transition and ensuring user-friendly interfaces for data
updating can empower individuals to actively engage in this data-driven
initiative.
Let's embrace this unprecedented opportunity for
a more accurate and timely census outcome.
