With advances in information and communication technology, online transaction over the Internet has become an integral part of day to day life. An online census is the web-based application which allows respondents to complete the census via the internet. This paper aims at upgrading and integrating the efficiency of census data collection management system. Traditionally, census data collection demands an authorized enumerator, who collects the census data manually which is time consuming and waste of resource. A secure online census system based on B/S structure can overcome these problems. MyEclipse was used as an integrated environment for development of webbase system and JSP, were served as the programming language. SQL server (2005) served as a relational data base. By adopting the idea of differential equation and exponential function the system can predict the future population of the country that will encourage cooperation and collaboration among federal agencies.
