India launches census count of more than one billion residents

The US is not the only country currently doing a census count. India has launched what it describes as the largest counting exercise ever. The 2011 Census of India began this week and aims to count more than a billion people in the next 11 months. Along with the Census details, officials are also collecting biometric data from every citizen to create India’s National Population Register. FSRN's Bismillah Geelani files this report.
