India is set to conduct the world's largest population count, a daunting task given the country's massive population of 1.4 billion people. The exercise aims to update the country's census data, which is currently based on 2011 figures.
The Indian government has been grappling with various challenges, including providing electricity, food, and housing to its rapidly growing population. This is particularly evident in the country's urban areas, where millions of people live in informal settlements without access to basic amenities.
The census is expected to provide critical data that will help the government plan and allocate resources more effectively. The exercise is scheduled to begin shortly, with officials working to ensure a smooth and accurate count.
