Council of Common Interest (CCI) in its 45th meeting held on 12th April 2021, approved the Final results of Sixth Population & Housing Census-2017.
It is informed that CCI decided on 16th December, 2016 to conduct the Population and Housing Census-2017 in two phases with the support of Armed Forces. In order to conduct Population & Housing Census in the country, Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) demarcated the whole country into small compact area called Census Blocks comprising of 200-250 houses on an average, with total number of 1,68,943 blocks with well-defined boundaries and maps. It is worth mentioning here that
the whole delimitation process was carried out with the close coordination of Provincial Governments, Local Government, Revenue Department and District Administration. Further Provincial Coordination Committees headed by concerned Chief Secretaries and Secretaries of relevant departments i.e. Education, Revenue, Local Government as a Members were notified for conduct of transparent, credible census and for complete coverage. Similarly, Divisional, District and Census District (Tehsil / Taluka) Coordination and Vigilance Committees were notified for complete coverage of areas, monitoring of data quality and field work of Census-2017.
Appointment of Field Staff (Enumerators, Circle Supervisors, Charge Superintendents) was made by the District Management from the Provincial Education, Revenue, Population Welfare and other related Departments.
Census-2017 was conducted in two phases. Each phase had duration of 30 days. Phase-I started from 15th March and ended on 14th April, 2017 in which 61 Admin Districts comprising of 79,773 blocks were enumerated. Phase-II started with a gap of 10 days from 25th April till 24th May, 2017. Eighty-Nine (89) Admin Districts comprising of 89,170 blocks were enumerated during this period. The field operation consisted of first 3 days for house listing followed by 10 days for population count and one day for enumeration of homeless population.
