Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant, engaged in the self-enumeration process for Census 2027 at his residence. The Census of India 2027 confirmed this development and encouraged citizens to also undertake self-enumeration. The Chief Justice successfully completed self-enumeration for Phase-I of #Census2027, focusing on Houselisting and Housing Census at his residence.
Setting a civic duty example, the CJI recorded his household details through the secure Self-Enumeration Portal. This event signifies a significant milestone in India’s first digital census, aiming to provide citizens with a convenient and transparent data collection process. The Census of India 2027 expressed gratitude to the CJI for his active participation and urged everyone to self-enumerate through the designated portal.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah had earlier completed their self-enumeration. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla also participated in the self-enumeration process. Lok Sabha Speaker Birla, in a message, announced the initiation of India’s Census-2027 and his completion of self-enumeration registration at his Delhi residence.
Census 2027 marks India’s transition to a fully digital census, departing from the traditional paper-based system used for over 150 years. The census is conducted in two phases under the Census Act, 1948. The initial phase, House Listing and Housing Census (HLO), focuses on gathering data on housing conditions, household amenities, and assets, with citizens required to respond to 33 specified questions.
