When did the population of Nepal cross 15 million​

When Nepal conducted its first census in 1911, the country’s population was barely 5.6 million. The 2001 census put the population at 22 million, and the last census in 2011 had shown it to be 26.6 million. Next year’s count will likely total Nepal’s population to have crossed 30 million.

Nearly 110 years ago, when Prime Minister Chandra Shumshere Rana ordered the census, the intention was primarily to find out how many able-bodied men there were who could be conscripted into the military, or offered to the British Army’s Gurkha brigades.
