The Assam Census is a census of the population of the Indian state of Assam. It is conducted by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India, under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The census is conducted every ten years.

The Assam Census includes the following categories:

  • Scheduled Castes (SC): The Scheduled Castes are a group of people who are considered to be socially and educationally backward. They are listed in the Constitution of India as being entitled to special privileges, such as reservation in government jobs and education.
  • Scheduled Tribes (ST): The Scheduled Tribes are a group of people who are considered to be indigenous to India. They are listed in the Constitution of India as being entitled to special privileges, such as reservation in government jobs and education.
  • Other Backward Classes (OBC): The Other Backward Classes are a group of people who are considered to be socially and educationally backward. They are not listed in the Constitution of India as being entitled to special privileges, but they may be eligible for reservation in government jobs and education in some states.

The Assam Census is important because it provides data on the population of Assam. This data is used to plan for the development of the state and to ensure that all sections of the population are represented in government.
