The census collects data on the population of India, including age, sex, religion, language, literacy, and occupation. The data is used to plan for the development of the country and to allocate resources.

The census is a major undertaking, and it involves the participation of millions of people. The data collected by the census is used to make important decisions about the future of India.

  • Option C is incorrect because the census is conducted every 10 years, not every 15 years.
  • Option D is incorrect because the census is conducted every 10 years, not every 20 years.
