The 1930 Nepal census was the third national census of Nepal. It was conducted during a time of war rhetoric and preparation between Nepal and Tibet. The population count was therefore thought to be grossly undercounted because of the fear of compulsory recruitment in the army. The census recorded a total population of 5,532,574.https://nepal.unfpa.org/sites/default/files/pub-pdf/PopulationMonograph2014Volume1.pdf POPULATION MONOGRAPH OF NEPAL VOLUME I (Population Dynamics) Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Nepal 2014 978-9937-2-8971-9
Very limited details are known about this census. It was conducted after the death of Prime Minister Chandra Shumsher. His successor, Prime Minister Bhim Shumsher gave limited importance to the census. Thus the census is regarded as mere population listing, conducted primarily to maintain the decennial practice.https://censusnepal.cbs.gov.np/results/files/main-part-janaganana/janaganana.pdf नेपालमा जनगणना National Statistics Office (NSO), Nepal ne Census in Nepal https://web.archive.org/web/20230714165804/https://censusnepal.cbs.gov.np/results/files/main-part-janaganana/janaganana.pdf 2023-07-14 live
