Lord Mayo, who was the British Governor-General of India, initiated the first modern census in 1872. However, this wasn’t a comprehensive census, but more of a sample-based exercise. It was an important step towards organizing and collecting demographic data in India. The first complete census was conducted in 1881, and since then, it has been held every ten years.
Lord Mayo’s initiative was aimed at gathering data to assist in government administration and policymaking.
