Answer
A census is an official enumeration of population done periodically.
In India, the first census was held in the year 1872. The first complete census, however, was taken in the year 1881. Since then, the censuses have been held regularly every tenth year.
The Indian census is the most comprehensive source of demographic, social and economic data.
