Assam Launches Self Enumeration for Census 2027 Amid Flood Challenges
Assam is initiating the Self Enumeration phase for Census 2027, allowing residents to submit their household information online from August 2 to August 16, 2026. This initiative aims to make the census process more participatory and citizen-centric. However, ongoing floods in Eastern Assam have disrupted preparations, leading to the postponement of training programs in Sivasagar and Charaideo districts. The Directorate of Census Operations, in collaboration with the General Administration Department, is overseeing the process. The online enumeration will be followed by a door-to-door census from August 17 to September 15. Authorities assure citizens of data confidentiality under the Census Act, 1948.
