What the figure measures
No comparable Armenian-origin or ethnic-group population figure was verified in this review. Citizenship or birthplace alone does not identify the whole community.

Data limitation: The Diaspora Office separately gives about 100 or, in other sources, 200; it also mentions Armenian citizens, whose overlap is unresolved. Do not add citizenship, student enrolment or these competing estimates together.

India: Coverage and source notes

Selected Kolkata and Chennai records distinguish the school, church evidence, a directory-listed sports club and an independent heritage website. A current community news outlet and full institutional coverage were not verified.

Directory sources checked:

This is a selected guide, not a complete inventory or a ranking of influence. A direct source documents what an institution publishes about itself; it does not independently verify every claim or establish uninterrupted operation. Directory listings and historical records carry their stated limits. Dates identify the publication, documented activity or report reference period, as described in the entry. Missing source dates are shown explicitly. Inclusion does not imply partnership or endorsement.

India: How to read the figures

A census count, an ancestry response and a community estimate measure different populations. Dates and definitions remain attached to each figure. The covered-country sum uses selected reference values, range midpoints and stated boundaries for “more than” or “up to”; it is not a synchronized population count or a statistical confidence interval. Undated and historical estimates are not current resident counts. The independently published worldwide estimate must not be added to the country sum.
