Digital Dawn: Census 2027 Housing Phase Launches in NDMC and Cantonment Areas

The Census 2027's houselisting phase commenced in NDMC and cantonment areas, deploying 570 enumerators for digital house-to-house verification. This phase will digitally gather building and household data, ensuring accurate records before subsequent socio-economic enumeration in 2027.

The Census 2027 phase focusing on houselisting and housing enumeration has started in New Delhi's NDMC and cantonment areas. This crucial phase marks a significant step towards digitizing census operations, as highlighted by officials.

On Thursday, 570 enumerators were deployed across 473 houselisting blocks in New Delhi, responsible for door-to-door verification and digital mapping of the areas allocated to them. This exercise will utilize the 'Census 2027-HLO' mobile application, underscoring the digital transition in census methodology.

During their visits, enumerators will engage with residents to verify self-enumeration entries and geo-tag properties. This phase will be followed by a population enumeration stage in 2027, aiming to collect comprehensive demographic and socio-economic data.
