Background+History
Open Knowledge Foundation Nepal
Population Census in NepalThough no historical record is
available regarding any population census in the past, yet counting
of houses was practiced prior to the Lichhavi period. The existence
of `Guthis' (Co-operative Societies) in the Kathmandu Valley, which
sought help from each and every household in time and need is the
clear indication of such practice.
After the Anglo-Nepal peace treaty of 1816 and the subsequent
demarcation of Nepal's boundary with India, the then Government
seems to have maintained records of the number of houses in
different districts.
At the second decade of the 19th century, on the basis of the
information on number of houses, provided by an official of the
Nepalese Government, Fraser estimated the population of Nepal as
3,661,200.
[Imagine the data of those time, how they collected, how much
time it took to collect it, how much time they need to process]
