In connection with the ongoing 7th economic census, the district level co-ordination committee (DLCC) members along with all charge officers, supervisors, IT nodal officers and all wards chairmen and its representatives held a meeting at DC’s conference hall, Kohima on November 7.
According to DIPR report, ADC Kohima, Lithrongla Tongpi Rutsa said that the ongoing 7th Economic Census exercise in the district was an important exercise taken up by the IT department as the nodal department. She said that correct data projected in this exercise will bring benefits to the people of the district.
It was for this reason, the meeting has been convened to reiterate on the ongoing exercise and to be aware of its importance by all the concerned individuals, she added.
She said that as per the 2011 Census, there were 54391 households in the district, however from the ongoing 7th EC exercise carried out so far it has covered only 10690 households with more than 43701 households left to be covered within few days.
She further pointed out that the ongoing 7th EC exercise has been slow due to lack of coordination between the charge officer, supervisors and enumerators.
She therefore called upon all the concerned designated officers and wards chairmen to extend all possible help and supports in whatever ways without which the survey exercise would not be possible.
Accountant IT&C, Vizelhounuo gave an overview of the ongoing 7th EC exercise and informed that there have been a number of issues in technical and operation areas where the support and coordination of the district administration and the wards was required.
Ward chairmen and others also shared their views and suggestions and further assured to extend all possible help for the ongoing exercise in their respective areas.
