🇮🇳 census

A census is a nationwide survey conducted to collect demographic and socioeconomic data about a country's population. In India, the term is currently trending due to reports of teachers dying from suspected heatstroke while on census duty in Odisha, amidst an intense heatwave. These tragic incidents have brought attention to the challenging conditions faced by personnel involved in such large-scale government operations. Census data is crucial for government planning and resource allocation.
