5 INDIA - Agricultural Census 2001 and Livestock Census (Provisional Results) 2003 Explanatory Notes Historical outline: India participated in the World Census of Agriculture Programme (WCA) in 1930, 1950 and 1960 through sample surveys carried out by the Directorate of National Sample Survey. The Census is considered the first comprehensive Census of Agriculture conducted in the country. Agricultural censuses were successively undertaken in: , , , , , and the one here reported, Data on livestock presented here refer to the 17 th Livestock Census conducted in Organization: The Agriculture Census was implemented by the Agricultural Census Division of the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC), in the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA). Each State and Union Territory (provinces) implemented census operations through their technical units. The 17 th Livestock Census was performed through the Dept. of Animal Husbandry & Dairying (DAH & D) of MOA with the assistance of provincial governments. Reference date: For Agricultural Census: July 2000 to June For Livestock Census: 15 Oct Definitions: Operational Holding (the selected statistical unit) is defined as all land wholly or partly used for agricultural production and operated as one technical unit by one person, alone or with others, without regard to title, legal form, size or location. Coverage: Agriculture Census was not conducted in the States of Bihar, Jarkhand and Meghalaya. An estimate for important parameters was done for mssing states based on previous census. For the 17 th Livestock Census data from two districts of the State of Bihar, were not available by the time of the publication of this report and, consequently, statistical projections were used to prepare national estimates. Frames: In the States where the Revenue Agency maintains the records of ownership of land and regular crop inspections are carried out, such records are used to prepare the frame of agricultural holdings for the census. In States and UTs where land records do not exist, a list of households holding land is prepared in 20 percent of the villages. Methods: 1) The Agriculture Census was carried out in three phases. During Phase-1, a list of all holdings with general information on primary characteristics like area, gender, social group of the holder and location code, was prepared; Phase-1 was carried out for all agricultural operational holdings of the country. During Phase-2, only 20 percent of the villages in each Tehsil were selected, and detailed information on aspects such tenancy, land use, irrigation, cropping pattern of all the operational holdings in the selected villages was collected. Phase-3, known as Input Survey, relates to use of inputs across various crops, regions and size groups of holdings. A stratified two-stage sampling design was applied, with the village at first stage and the holding at second stage for the survey. 2) The Livestock Census was a complete enumeration exercise.
