In which year was the first Livestock census conducted in India?

• A. 1919
• B. 1925
• C. 1900
• D. 1930

Answer: (A)

The question tests knowledge of when India began its nationwide livestock counting. The first All-India Livestock Census was carried out in 1919, creating the initial baseline of livestock populations and establishing a system for ongoing data collection to inform veterinary services, breeding, and policy planning. Subsequent censuses followed in the years after, such as the mid-1920s and around 1930, but 1919 marks the start of this nationwide effort.
