The 2027 Indian Census will commence its door‑to‑door enumeration on January 25, covering households nationwide.
The Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner announced that the field phase of the 2027 Census will kick off on January 25. Enumerators will visit every household across the country to collect demographic, socio‑economic and housing data, marking the first comprehensive door‑to‑door operation since the last census.
The enumeration is scheduled to run for several weeks, with teams equipped with digital tablets to record responses in real time. Authorities have urged citizens to cooperate fully, emphasizing that accurate data is essential for planning public services, infrastructure and welfare schemes.
The census, conducted every ten years, informs government policy on education, health, employment and urban development. Officials have also highlighted enhanced privacy safeguards and the use of encrypted data transmission to protect respondents' information.
Preparatory training for enumerators began in December, and local administrative bodies are coordinating logistics to ensure coverage in remote and urban areas alike. The government expects the collected data to be processed and released in phases over the next two years.
