LAHORE: As reported in newspapers, the government has decided in principle to conduct the national census in September 2015 or in March 2016. It is a commendable and long overdue decision taken by the government and it should be implemented at the earliest. Students of economics know what a vital and important role updated data plays in formulating productive policies and development projects.
Census figures can help cement national development projects on solid and accurate foundations, which yield the desired results. It is hoped that the government will keep making sincere efforts for formulating long-term policies to upgrade the economy and thus bring about genuine, promising and concrete national development, making our beloved country prosperous.
