Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy recently engaged in self-enumeration for Census 2027 by registering his details on the official web portal. Census officials explained the process and importance of self-enumeration to the Chief Minister, emphasizing its role in ensuring accurate data collection. The Chief Minister encouraged all state citizens to actively participate in the census and utilize the self-enumeration option for effective planning and development.
The self-enumeration phase for Census 2027 in Telangana’s Core Urban Region (CURE) commenced, covering Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), Cyberabad Municipal Corporation, and Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation as a single unit. Residents have the opportunity to submit household information online through the official portal, which includes questions on housing, amenities, and assets. The process, available daily from 6 a.m. to 12 midnight, is document-free and expected to take 15-20 minutes, providing households with a Self-Enumeration ID (SE ID) for verification purposes.
Director of Census Operations for Telangana, Bharathi Hollikeri, highlighted that the online phase will be followed by the House Listing Operation (HLO), involving door-to-door visits and wall marking from May 11 to June 9. Census 2027 marks India’s first fully digital census and includes caste enumeration, making it significant for Telangana as its inaugural separate state census.
