Census 2027 Implements QR Code Verification to Enhance Door-to-Door Security

To address rising cyber fraud concerns, Census 2027 has introduced QR code verification on appointment letters and identity cards for enumerators conducting door-to-door visits in Delhi. Residents can scan these codes to confirm authenticity amid reports of impersonation scams. The ongoing self-enumeration exercise has recorded over 93,000 entries with an 82.73% completion rate. Enumerators will verify self-enumeration IDs against geo-tagged locations, with supervisors overseeing multiple blocks to ensure accuracy and security.
