Detailed Solution

1881 was the first year in which a regular census was held in India.
In India, the first census was taken in 1872, but subsequent ones didn't begin until 1881. In its current form, a systematic and contemporary population census was carried out asynchronously between 1865 and 1872 in several regions of the nation. This project, which culminated in 1872, is often referred to as the first population census of India. However, India's first synchronous census didn't take place until 1881. Since that time, censuses have been conducted every ten years without interruption.
