Who was the Viceroy of India when the synchronous Census of India was conducted for the first time? Correct Answer Lord Ripon

The correct answer is option 1, i.e Lord Ripon.

  • The earliest references of the Census in India can be traced back to the Mauryan period in Kautilya's ‘Arthashastra’ (321-296 BC) and later during the Mughal period in the writings of Abul Fazl (1595-96) in the ‘Ain-e-Akbari’.
  • Census, in its present scientific form, was conducted non synchronously between 1865 and 1872 in different parts of the country.
  • This effort culminating in 1872 has been popularly labelled as the first Census of India.
  • However, the first synchronous Census in India was carried out in 1881.
  • During that time Lord Ripon was Viceroy of India.
