Digital Shift: Census 2027 Embraces Self-Enumeration

Jammu Deputy Commissioner Rakesh Minhas announced the launch of the digital self-enumeration process for Census 2027. Beginning May 17, households can use mobile phones or computers to participate, reducing verification time. A door-to-door verification phase will follow. The initiative aims to streamline the census process and enhance efficiency.

Jammu Deputy Commissioner Rakesh Minhas urged citizens to participate in the census's digital self-enumeration process kicking off May 17. The initiative allows households to submit data via mobile or computer, creating a unique ID for verification.

Minhas assured the public that those unable to participate digitally need not worry, as trained enumerators will conduct door-to-door checks from June 1 to June 30. Enumerators will carry official ID cards, ensuring a smooth and secure gathering of household data.

Residents are encouraged to have their unique Self-Enumeration IDs ready during enumerator visits, reducing verification time. Minhas also warned against fraudsters, emphasizing the free nature of this essential public exercise.
