As reported the Government has decided in principle to conduct National Census in March or September next year. It is a commendable and well overdue decision and it should be implemented at the earliest. Students of Economics know how vital and important role an updated data plays in formulating accurately useful and productive policies and development projects. Census figures hold the prospect of cementing National Development projects on solid and accurate foundations which yield desired results. It is hoped that Government will keep making these efforts to formulating a long term policy to upgrade economy and bring some development.
