Census data is kept secret can’t used by anything else, but the NPR data will be publicly displayed as part of the claims.

Census purpose is to make policies for the welfare of the citizens while NPR used to establish citizenship.

This question arises because NPR was first updated in 2010 and Last census was updated in 2011 so people thought they are related to each other.

Why our Government took this decision?

As we know, Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 received presedential assent on Dec 12, 2019. This decision took by our government to stop Immigrantation ( a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country). In 12^th- 20^th century, Parsis comes from Iran and got lot of space in Maharashtra and Gujarat, In 1947 when partition of India done ,where Pakistan formed so lot of the people come from Pakistan and stayed in India. We accepted some of the Indians gone there but that was very less amount, , China’s Tibetians came in 1959 , when Bangladesh Liberation done of 1971 then lot of immigrant came, China’s Tibetians came in 1959 and in 1980 Sri lanka Civil War occurred which cause lot of immigrant come in India. In 2015, lot of Rohingyas of Mayanmar come in India so to stop this history our Government took this decision.
