In India, the population Census is a Union subject (Article 246) and is listed at serial number 69 of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. The Census Act, 1948 forms the legal basis for conduct of Censuses in independent India. Although the Census Act is an instrument of Central legislation, in the scheme of its execution the state governments provide the administrative support for the actual conduct of the Census. A Census hierarchy is set up at all levels by the state specifically for the purposes of carrying out the census.

The earliest references of Census taking in India can be traced back to the Mauryan period in Kautilya’s ‘Arthshastra’ (321-296 BC) and later during the Mughal period in ‘Aian-e-Akbari’. A systematic and modern population Census, in its present scientific form was conducted non-synchronously between 1865 and 1872 in different parts of country. This effort culminating in 1872 has been popularly labelled as the first population Census. However, the first synchronous Census in India was held in 1881. Since then, Censuses have been undertaken uninterruptedly once every ten year. The Census of India, 2011, is the fifteen Census in this continuous series as reckoned from 1872 and the seventh since independence.
