Census 2027 Launches Digital Self-Enumeration and Field Surveys Across Indian Regions

The Census 2027 preparations across India include digital self-enumeration phases starting mid-May in regions like Jammu and Karaikal, with residents submitting household data online before door-to-door surveys begin in June. Delhi reported over 1.3 lakh self-enumerations, while Tripura plans its household survey from August, with individual enumeration in early 2027. Authorities emphasize cooperation, verification of enumerators, and legal action against non-compliance to ensure accurate data collection for policy planning.
