The CensusInfo India Software will be launched today jointly by Dr. C.Chandramouli, Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India, the country chief(s) of UNFPA, UN Women and the representative of UNICEF in a function organized at the hotel LaLiT, New Delhi.
The specially developed CensusInfo India Software is an innovative and flexible database technology used for the dissemination of Population and Housing Census results. The software has been developed by the United Nations Statistics Division, in partnership with UNICEF and UNFPA, to help countries disseminate their census results at any relevant geographical level, on CD-ROM and also on the web. CensusInfo India on Houses, Household Amenities and Assets based on Census 2011 data provides access to the dataset on a number of indicators at State and District level. The user is able to extract information quite easily and generate charts and maps depicting the data. This powerful data dissemination tool would not only reduce the burden of statistical drudgery, but at the same time would make using census data an enjoyable experience.
