The 1911 Nepal census was the first official national census in the history of Nepal. It was conducted during the period of Rana Prime Minister Chandra Shumsher. The government issued an official order to the people through Istihar (government notification) to cooperate with the enumerators who were to visit door to door for census enumeration. Patwaris (land revenue collectors) were engaged in data collection all over the country. The census had established a milestone in the tradition of census taking in Nepal.
