India Today’s Post

Do see this video on Caste Census in India and how grave is the need for India to implement it. I would really like all your thoughts on the topic. https://lnkd.in/e4ms3A-N

Statistics Canada recently released its estimates of gross domestic product at basic prices at the Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) level for 2020. The Ontario side of Ottawa-Gatineau had the highest GDP per capita in 2020, followed by Calgary, Regina, Toronto and Guelph. Of the 36 CMAs (counting the Québec and Ontario parts of Ottawa-Gatineau separately), the lowest per capita CMA for both years was registered in Oshawa. As a means of comparison, the top 5 CMAs in 2016 were: 1.      Calgary 2.      Regina 3.      Edmonton (9th in 2020) 4.      Toronto 5.      Ontario side of Ottawa-Gatineau The 6 CMAs with a population greater than one million (Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa-Gatineau) accounted for more than half (53.0%) of Canada’s GDP at basic prices in 2020. The ratio of GDP per capita between the Ontario and Québec components of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA declined from 1.72 in 2016 to 1.56 in 2020.

The most interesting aspect of the population profile of S.A. is that Gauteng, while by far the smallest in geographical size, houses the most number of people compared to the other nine provinces. This has an impact on resources in terms of both consumption and production.

Meet Dasarathi Pradhan, a man standing in front of his house who is not considered poor enough as per the Socio-Economic Caste Census 2011 to deserve various entitlements, including a house under PM Awas, as his name is not enumerated in SECC 2011 and thus he is not eligible to get the benefits under PM Awas Yojana. He's not the only person who is excluded from the benefits that need them the most; there might be thousands or lakhs of Dasarathi across India who deserve benefits under various government-run schemes or programmes but aren't currently getting any benefits as their names aren't included in the SECC 2011 list. Many central as well as state government-run schemes include and exclude beneficiaries depending on SECC 2011, but since 2011, this list hasn't been updated as the government failed to conduct a national census in India, and given the fact that India is entering an election year, there's a high possibility that Indian policymakers (bureaucrats) will continue to use the 2011 census to decide the fate of individuals and the nation together. The delay on the government's part to conduct the census comes at a time when the government itself, on various occasions, has termed "Data as New Oil". Will the country be able to run efficiently and effectively without this new-found OIL? Data is the lifeblood of evidence-based public policy making, but without a new census, the very 'PUBLIC' is missing from this public policy making. #evidencebased #publicpolicy #census #data #newoil #public #politics #policy

Let's talk about the Census. In a huge country with close to 140 crore population hustling and bustling every single minute to attain significance in society, government programs help uplift their standard of living and dignity of life. Such instrumental Government initiatives are planned and executed based on the information available through the Census. However, for the first time, in the 150-year history of Census operations in India, the schedule has been kept at abeyance.  This is extremely detrimental to the country. Imagine the number of research work that is hampered due to inappropriate data, the number of Government schemes that are unable to assess and reach the right number of needy beneficiaries, the hindered planning and development, challenges in resource allocation, et al. The Census of India Act 1948 does not bind the government to conduct the Census and publish its results in a notified period. But that does not mean that the government can do it any time that suits its convenience. The nation needs accurate data now and it is pertinent if we have to literally own this century. #census #generalknowledge #india #census2021 #censusindia #important #governmentpolicies #population #gk #analysis #awareness
