The Census and Statistics Department of Sri Lanka is to conduct its next census which will cover the entire country in 2011.
Suranjana Widyarathna, Director General of the Census and Statistics Department, told the media this would be the first census that will cover the entire country after 1981.
The Department is currently preparing its maps and residential lists needed for the census, she added.
The people’s awareness programmes for the next census have already begun in twelve districts and the Census Department hopes to carry out those programmes in other districts in the near future.
