India Census

The 2001 and 2011 censuses are easily available in a digital format. The previous census website had a search function which located citable webpages containing census data for individual settlements. but around April 2022 the domain went dead and the function appears to have been depreciated in favour of a dynamic gadget.

In 2022 the Indian Government intend to start conducting the 2021 Census of India, with completion expected to be in 2024. Village-level data is not expected to be released with any rush; publication could occur over several years.

This page is intended to aid in streamlined referencing of the 2011 Census, which will remain necessary for the next few years.
