Census 2027: New Delhi Embarks on Innovative Self-Enumeration Drive

New Delhi begins the Census 2027 self-enumeration exercise in NDMC and Delhi Cantonment Board areas, starting with key constitutional figures. This process introduces a secure online portal for data submission in advance of the Houselisting and Housing Census (HLO) phase, ensuring efficient data collection across designated urban sectors.

New Delhi is set to commence its pioneering self-enumeration exercise for Census 2027. The initiative will begin within the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and Delhi Cantonment Board areas, initially involving the President, Prime Minister, and other high-ranking officials.

This innovative approach, part of India's 16th Census, allows citizens to provide information online via a secure Census portal. The process precedes the traditional Houselisting and Housing Census (HLO) phase.

Physical enumeration will follow in designated 30-day periods across various city regions, coordinated by the Delhi Census Commissioner and aided by district magistrates and specialized personnel.
