The correct answer is: b) Directorate of Census Operations.
The Directorate of Census Operations (DCO) is a government agency responsible for conducting the census in India. It is a part of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The DCO is headed by the Registrar General of India (RGI), who is also the Census Commissioner of India.
The DCO is responsible for planning, organizing, and conducting the census. It also prepares the census reports and publishes them. The DCO has its headquarters in New Delhi and has offices in all the states and union territories of India.
The DCO is a professional organization with a highly qualified staff. It has a long history of conducting censuses in India. The DCO is committed to providing accurate and reliable data on the population of India.
The other options are incorrect because:
- a) State Government is not responsible for conducting the Census in Nagaland. The DCO is responsible for conducting the census in all the states and union territories of India.
- c) Registrar General of India is the head of the DCO and is responsible for planning, organizing, and conducting the census. However, the DCO is the organization that is responsible for conducting the census.
- d) National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) is a government agency responsible for conducting sample surveys in India. It is not responsible for conducting the census.
