In some cases, the Population Census Organization has published population of muza equal to '0' or '-' or below 100 persons. In fact, the growth rate of these muza is negative as the mortality and migration rates are higher as compared to fertility in these areas, so that after implementation of growth rate formula, the population of these muza fall into '0' or '-' or <100 inhabitants. In real situation the population of muza having the stated signs is counted as population below 100 persons (PCO, 1998).

Comments
|
Due to security concerns faced by the SP during the execution of the project, SP requested Force Majeure event against which an extension till 31st March, 2009 (i.e. extension of 10 weeks) was given to SP for completion of the project after verification and certification of Technical Auditors. However PCOs and Telecentre deployment could not be completed by the SP within the given timelines of the project due to which an LD of Rs 1,084,954 was deducted from the SP's subsidy, as per contract.
