Sadhu said Delhi is the 26th state where the survey has been launched, while the process is already on in 20 states and five union territories (UTs).
Started in 1977, only six economic censuses have been done so far due to massive work involving in-depth survey and data compilation.
This is the first time that the economic census is being done using digital platform, which has reduced time for the survey to 6 months from 2 years earlier.
Over 1.5 lakh trained enumerators have been deployed for the nationwide survey. The enumerators will visit 35 crore establishments and households to carry out the Census, CSC Head of Operations Nepal Chandra Sen said.
