India is starting a very big census this week. A census counts all the people in a country. More than three million workers will count over 1.4 billion people. This will take one year to finish.
India's last census was in 2011. The new census was late because of COVID-19. Workers will ask 33 questions. They will ask about houses, families, and jobs. For the first time, people can answer questions online using their phones.
India now has more people than China. It is the country with the most people in the world. The census is very important. It helps the government make good plans for schools, hospitals, and jobs.
