- In working out 'decadal variation and 'percentage decadal variation' for 1941-1951 & 1951-1961 of India and Nagaland state, the population of Tuensang District for 1951(7,025) & the population of Tuensang(83,501) & Mon(50,774) districts for 1961 Census have not been taken into account as the area was censued for the first time in 1951 and the same are not comparable.
- The 1981 Census could not be held in Jammu & Kashmir. Hence the populatio figures for 1991 of Jammu & Kashmir have been worked out by 'interpolation'.
