These include:
• Basic census tables, analytical reports, data sheets

Software module on Decision Support System (DSS)
DSS is to be developed to access latest Census Data at District, Block and Village/Town level for use in planning.
Datasets to be used for DSS:
Primary Census Abstract at village/town level
Village and Town Directory data as collected through State Governments.
Linking of village level data with maps will enable to identify less developed regions/villages in terms of infrastructure and amenities.
Data Dissemination Workshops
Data Dissemination Workshop will be organized in major cities by Census Directorates.
To sensitize the data users on the availability of latest 2011 Census data on various indicators.
Data Dissemination Workshop has already been conducted on data pertaining to “Houselisting & Housing Census 2011”
Census in School Programme
The best place to begin this sensitization process is with the school students who are tomorrow’s decision-makers.
Sensitizing school students about availability and use of Census data will be a major way of disseminating Census 2011 data
Reading material on Census Data would be prepared in attractive designs and styles in regional languages
It is proposed to send one School Kit on Census data to 100 schools per district in all the 640 districts in the country.
Workstation for Research on Micro-data
Workstation for research on census micro-data already set up at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.
The objective is to allow researchers to undertake research on database of more than a billion persons as collected in Census after anonymizing the sensitive fields.
18 more similar Work Stations are to be set up shortly in different parts of the Country.
Setting up of Digital Archive on Old Census Reports & maps
To make the old Census Reports (1872 – 2001) available for research it is proposed to digitize them.
Available printed reports, microfiches, microfilms, etc will be digitized by scanning each page and then converting them into PDF.
Retrieval software would be used to access this large collection of digitized Census Volumes.
Dedicated centres equipped with servers and related facilities would be set up in all the 34 ORGI/DCOs .
