Installation Procedure
A] SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

The software is developed in Visual Basic which, to work efficiently, is demanding in terms of hardware. Ideally, you should work with the latest of the Pentium processors with a 32 MB RAM. Before installing the Census of India 2001 software, you must ensure that the following hardware and software requirements are met.
