Census 2027 Self-Enumeration Begins in Telangana, Aiming for Comprehensive Socioeconomic Data
The self-enumeration phase of Census 2027 has commenced in Telangana, with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla leading the initiative by registering their details online. This phase, which runs from April 26 to May 10, allows citizens to submit their information through an official portal, ensuring confidentiality. The Census is described as a vital national exercise that provides a comprehensive snapshot of the population and its socioeconomic profile. Governor Shukla emphasized the importance of the data collected, noting that it forms the backbone of policy formulation, governance, and equitable distribution of resources. This Census is particularly significant as it is the first since the formation of Telangana, and it aims to shape policies related to education, healthcare, employment, housing, and infrastructure. The digital nature of Census 2027 is highlighted, with both phases leveraging technology for greater accuracy, transparency, and efficiency.
