Assam has begun the 2027 Census self‑enumeration process, with the state’s Chief Minister urging residents to fill out the forms accurately.
Assam has officially started the self‑enumeration phase of the 2027 Census, a departure from the traditional method of field enumerators visiting households. The new approach allows residents to complete census forms themselves, aiming to improve accuracy and reduce logistical challenges.
The state’s Chief Minister has publicly urged citizens to participate actively in the process, emphasizing the importance of accurate data for future planning and development. He highlighted that the census figures will guide allocation of resources, infrastructure projects, and policy decisions across the state.
Government officials have issued guidelines and conducted training sessions to help households understand how to fill out the forms correctly. The self‑enumeration initiative is expected to streamline data collection and enhance the overall efficiency of the census operation in Assam.
