The 1920 Nepal census was the second national census of Nepal. It was conducted 9 years after the first census. It recorded a total population of 5,573,788.[1]
The census showed the decline in population compared to the previous census. The decrease in population has been attributed to the 1918–1920 influenza pandemic and the deaths of Nepali soldiers who fought from the British side during First World War.[2]
