As an initial step, the census frame was prepared in January 2002 by using the payroll of the respective institutions. A coordinating officer was appointed to each of the Ministries under the Central Government as well as under the Provincial Councils to monitor the Census work and to liaise with the Department of Census and Statistics. The responsibility of the Co-ordinating officer was to distribute the schedules among all the employees, recall the duly completed schedules and return them to the Department of Census & Statistics on time.
