Agartala: The training of enumerators and supervisors for the second phase of the 2011 Census -- to be held in February next year -- shall commence next month, an official said here.
'The second phase of census 2011, called the Population Enumeration phase will be conducted simultaneously all over India from Feb 9 to 28 next year,' senior census operation official Dilip Acherjee told.
The 45-day first phase of the census, which included house listing and door-to-door headcount for the National Population Register (NPR), ended in August.
Acherjee said: 'After the field work is over, the forms have been transported to data processing centres located at 15 cities across the country. The six-phase data processing and scanning are now underway in these 15 centres and the process would be completed by November.'
Acharjee said that after the actual population enumeration (Feb 9-28, 2011), a five-day revision round would be held between March 1-5, 2011 followed by the declaration of the preliminary census result March 25, 2011.
The official said that after the Feb 9 to 28 census, the caste-based census works would be carried out by the government between June and September 2011.
The US Census Bureau and four United Nations (UN) agencies recently separately held 'sharing of experience sessions' with the Indian census officials in New Delhi.
