Odisha CM Majhi calls for public support to ensure smooth Census 2027

Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi urges citizens to use the self-enumeration portal and cooperate with enumerators for a successful Census 2027.

"I request all of you... please do so through this portal and cooperate in the Census. - Mohan Charan Majhi"

Bhubaneswar, April 3

Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday urged citizens to extend cooperation for the successful conduct of Census 2027 by sharing their details on the self-enumeration portal ahead of the door-to-door survey.

It is worth noting that the Census programme in the state has been launched in coordination with the Directorate of Census Operations, Odisha, under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, and the Revenue and Disaster Management Department of the Government of Odisha.

The first phase of the Census -- House Listing and Housing Census -- is scheduled to begin from April 16. Under this programme, trained enumerators and supervisors will visit households and collect data from April 16 to May 15. Prior to this, the self-enumeration programme is being conducted from April 1 to midnight of April 15.

Under this programme, citizens are providing their information on their own through the self-enumeration portal (https://se.census.gov.in).

"I request all of you that if you have not yet submitted your information, please do so through this portal and cooperate in the Census. I have also completed my self-enumeration. You should do the same," Majhi said.

"From April 16, trained enumerators will visit households to collect information. This data is extremely important for planning and implementation of development programmes for our state as well as the country. Therefore, I urge all of you to extend your cooperation and make this programme a success," he added.

Majhi also emphasised that the state government has made all necessary preparations for the Census 2027 programme. He requested people to provide accurate details when enumerators visit their homes and contribute to the development of the state and the nation.

"On behalf of the Government of Odisha, I request your wholehearted participation for the success of this national programme," Majhi said.

Notably, the Odisha government has directed all its departments, district administrations, and urban local bodies not to transfer officials and employees engaged in census duties to ensure the successful completion of Census 2027. The state government has undertaken extensive preparations to ensure the smooth conduct of the exercise.

Good to see the CM leading by example and completing his own self-enumeration. It builds trust. Hope the door-to-door survey is conducted smoothly and the data is used effectively for Odisha's development.

While cooperation is our duty, I hope the government ensures data privacy and security. We are sharing very personal information. There should be absolute transparency on how this data is stored and protected.

The self-enumeration portal is a great step forward! Saves time for everyone. Just completed it for my family in Bhubaneswar. Request to all: please do it online if you can to reduce the burden on the enumerators.

This is crucial for national planning. The last census was in 2011, so much has changed since then. Accurate data will help in better allocation of resources and policies for the next decade. Full support from my side.

Hope the enumerators are well-trained and sensitive, especially when visiting remote tribal areas in Odisha. The data should capture the true socio-economic picture so that development reaches the last person.
