Haryana to Deploy 87,450 Staff for Second Phase of 2027 Census

The state of Haryana has confirmed that a workforce of 87,450 individuals will be assigned to conduct the second phase of the 2027 national census. This deployment follows the completion of the initial enumeration round and aims to capture updated demographic data across the state.

The large contingent will include enumerators, supervisors, data entry operators and support staff, all coordinated under the state's census directorate. Their tasks will involve door‑to‑door surveys, verification of earlier records and digital data capture to ensure accuracy.

Haryana’s census officials are working closely with the central Ministry of Home Affairs, which oversees the nationwide census operation. The second phase is slated to begin in the coming weeks, with field activities expected to continue for several months.

The extensive manpower reflects the government's commitment to achieving a comprehensive count, which will inform future policy planning, resource allocation and development programmes in the state.

Further details on the exact schedule and operational guidelines will be released by the state administration as the rollout progresses.
