    POST REPORT
    KATHMANDU, DEC 07 -
    The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) is going to prepare mock questionnaires in 10 regional languages during Population and Housing Census 2011.

    The questionnaires are being put in order for the convenience of respondents who do not understand Nepali. For this, the enumerators are readying a set of standard questionnaire.

    According to CBS Director General Uttam Narayan Malla, the standard questionnaire is going to be translated in top 10 languages in use in the country as stated in Population and Housing Census 2001. They include Maithali, Bhojpuri, Tharu, Tamang, Gurung, Newari/Nepal Bhasa, Magar, Awadhi, Rai and Limbu.

    “The mock questionnaires are being prepared so that the respondents get clear ideas about the information they have to provide to the enumerators,” said Malla.
