"The Census is the world's largest administrative process, and the data collected will determine the direction and policy of Haryana's development. - Governor Prof Asim Kumar Ghosh"

Chandigarh, April 11

The Director, Census and Civil Registration of Haryana, on Saturday, paid a courtesy visit to Governor Prof Asim Kumar Ghosh at Raj Bhavan here. ​

The Director provided detailed information on Census 2027 activities and released an official calendar outlining the census schedule for the state. ​

The self-enumeration facility will be available in Haryana from April 16 to April 30. During this period, all citizens can enter their information on the self-enumeration portal from their homes using mobile phones, tablets, or computers. This initiative is simple, secure, and designed for citizen convenience. ​

Subsequently, from May 1 to May 30, enumerators will visit every household across the state as part of the household listing operations. ​

On this occasion, Governor Ghosh commended Lalit Jain, Director, Census Department, Haryana, and his team for their efforts. ​

He stated that the Census is the world's largest administrative process, and the data collected will determine the direction and policy of Haryana's development. ​

The Governor urged citizens to make the most of self-enumeration, as it is extremely convenient and easy, and will also save time and resources. ​

He further appealed to all Haryana residents to provide full cooperation to the census staff so that this important task can be successfully completed. ​

The Government of India has commenced Phase I of Census 2027 -- Houselisting and Housing Census (HLO) -- from April 1, marking the beginning of the country's largest administrative and statistical exercise. ​

This is India's first-ever digital data capture and self-enumeration. The national enumeration exercise was initiated by the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, through self-enumeration, upholding the proud tradition of commencing the national count with the First Citizen of India. ​

Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed his self-enumeration. ​

The Prime Minister appealed to the people of India to self-enumerate their household details themselves and participate in the Census process.

Finally, a digital census! This is the way forward. My parents always talked about the long wait for the enumerator last time. Filling details online from April 16th itself. Well done, Haryana government!

The data is crucial for development planning. But I hope the process is inclusive and reaches everyone, especially in rural areas. Not everyone has smartphones or internet access. The enumerators' role from May 1st will be very important.

Living in Gurgaon, I appreciate the effort to modernize the process. The schedule is clear. Self-enumeration first, then physical verification. Makes sense. Hope the portal has multi-language support for all residents.

Respectfully, while the digital push is good, I'm concerned about data privacy. Who will have access to this detailed household information? The article mentions it's secure, but more transparency on data safeguards would build greater public trust.
