That is the population as calculated on the 1st March 1950.
Shri Kamath : What about the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ?
Dr. Ambedkar : I have not got the figures here, and they do not form part of this scheme.
Shri Bharati : Is any Member given to Aandamans in the Schedule ?
Dr. Ambedkar : Yes, but that is a separate thing altogether. I am coming to that.
I have given to the House the total population of the States in Part A, Part B and also in Part C.
Dr. Tek Chand (Punjab) : Are these based on the census of 1941?
Dr. Ambedkar : They have been calculated for the purpose of this Schedule by the Census Commissioner who must be taken to be the final authority in this matter ; he has advised the Election Commissioner that these should be the standard figures that may be taken as the basis.
Dr. Tek Chand : How have they been calculated ?
Dr. Ambedkar : It is a very difficult thing to say now. They have been calculated in the manner prescribed in the Constitution (Determination of Population) Order, 1950, and the President has accepted them.
