BBS hoped that this census, the largest source of the country's real socio-economic and demographic data, will play significant role in formulating, evaluating and monitoring any evidence-based development projects such as Delta Plan 2100, Vision 2041, Eighth Five Year Plan, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) etc.
