Handloom Census[hh/hc]
Bangladesh
Mapping and updating the geo-codes are very important tasks for any successful census operation. Basically the enumeration areas in the handloom census 2018 were not similar to population census 2011. The zonal officers tried their best to draw the census area maps though it was very difficult to sketch the map due to scatteredness of the handloom units throughout the country. However, geo-codes were seriously verified and corrected by the zonal officers which is very important and sensitive to handle any census data.

Primary data has been collected through the District and Upazila Statistical Officials before the zonal operation based on the last handloom census of 2003 figures which we may call administrative count. The idea of primary data collection through administrative channel was much supportive to estimate the required logistics and expected human resources in the zonal operation.
Training and data collection are two main features for ensuring a quality census. Comprehensive training was given to the census personnel which made them efficient. The whole country was divided into 64 Census Districts during zonal operation on 1-4 April 2018. The census districts were segmented to ensure intensive supervision and monitoring in order to ensure quality data. The 64 census districts were divided into 260 zones on the basis of the primary data collection.
