Telangana gears up for first fully digital Census 2027 from May 11

Hyderabad, Telangana Chief Secretary K Ramakrishna Rao chaired a high-level meeting with District Collectors to outline the roadmap for the upcoming Census enumeration process. The first phase of Census operations will commence across the state from May 11, with Census 2027 billed as the country's first fully digital census. The entire exercise will be conducted through a dedicated mobile application for field data collection, ensuring real-time data capture, enhanced accuracy, transparency, and faster processing. Self-Enumeration will commence 15 days prior to the start of House Listing Operations, enabling citizens to voluntarily submit their data online through the designated platform. Rao stressed that no household, habitation, remote settlement, tribal hamlet, or urban slum should be left out, and special attention must be given to inaccessible and vulnerable areas to ensure complete and inclusive coverage. The success of a fully digital Census hinges on the technological proficiency and preparedness of the field staff. He instructed the District Collectors to adhere to timelines, maintain data quality standards, and ensure seamless technological integration at every stage while addressing logistical bottlenecks proactively. Director of Census Operations Bharathi Holikeri attended the meeting.
