  8. Issues Optimizing EA size to around 100 households per EA poses challenges. What is the optimum EA size for population census? In rural areas administrative boundaries restrict it while in urban areas, lack of distinct features for demarcation EA size Migration Module Mapping using GIS District wise in and out migration rates were calculated but rural urban migration rates were not published due to missing elements/shortcomings in the questionnaire International migration was discounted due to few cases occurring but might have to be incorporated for 2015 All structures within country mapped using GIS Effective and efficient usage of huge data available doubtful (data sharing and usage for purposes other than mapping did not happen till now) Next round, should all structures be mapped from scratch?
