The 2021 Nepal Census was the twelfth nationwide census of Nepal conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics. [2] [3] The census was originally scheduled from 8 June to 22 June 2021, but was postponed to November 2021 [4] due to surge in COVID-19 cases. [5] [6]
In Nepal, the work of conducting a census started in 1911 A.D. (1968 B.S.) and has been carried out approximately every 10/10 years. The main objective of the first and second census was to prepare a list of property owners, tenants, and buildings. Until the census conducted in 1998 B.S., it was limited to the form of a short census questionnaire. However, the censuses conducted since 2009/11 B.S. (1952/54 A.D.) have been recognized as modern (scientific) censuses, including the collection of demographic characteristics. After the establishment of the Central Bureau of Statistics in 2015 A.D., all censuses have been conducted by this bureau. In this sequence, the national census of 2078 B.S. is the first census conducted under Nepal's federal system according to the provisions of the Constitution of Nepal issued in 2072 B.S.
The National Census of 2078 was conducted in two phases, with the first phase being carried out by supervisors who went to every home and family and prepared a household registration form, detailing information about the house and household, the number of members in the family, the family's agriculture-related details, whether the family had received government funding for building a residential house, the number of individuals who had bank or financial institution accounts, and details about technical and vocational education or training received by members of the family, as well as information about credit facilities obtained from cooperative or financial institutions.
In the second phase, enumerators went to every family and collected information about demographic, educational, residential, economic, disability, reproductive health, and other details using a main questionnaire. During the second phase, detailed monitoring of the collection of site-specific data was carried out by the supervisor, and each ward office collected ward-level community questionnaire-based information on the basis of sources, resources, capacity, precedent, and disaster risk.
