India has begun counting its population in the world’s largest census, which will include caste enumeration for the first time in nearly a century.
This year’s census is a $1.24bn exercise during which more than three million Indian officials will spend a year surveying about 1.4 billion Indians about their household composition, living conditions and access to basic amenities.
