Which of the following statements is incorrect ?

  • A.Modern census is held once in ten years in India
  • B.Vital statistics is a civil registration system recording incidence of crimes
  • C.National sample surveys in India is conducted in the form of successive rounds
  • D.The greatest strength of census enumeration is that it covers all the people in a country.

Answer: B

The incorrect statement is that vital statistics is a civil registration system recording incidence of crimes.

Vital statistics are records of vital events, births, deaths, marriages, divorces and stillbirths, collected through the civil registration system. In India this is done under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969. Crime figures are collected separately by the National Crime Records Bureau.

The other statements are correct: India's census is held every ten years, National Sample Survey data are collected in numbered rounds, and the strength of a census is that it covers the entire population.
