Rajasthan's Census 2027: Self-enumeration from May 1-15, door-to-door survey from May 16 to June 14

Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma announces Census 2027 from May 1. Self-enumeration May 1-15, door-to-door survey May 16-June 14. Digital integration included.

"The correct information you provide today will help realise the vision of a 'Viksit Rajasthan' and a 'Viksit India' tomorrow. - Bhajanlal Sharma"

Jaipur, April 29

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma announced that the state will commence the Census 2027 process from May 1, urging citizens to actively participate and provide accurate information.

According to the CMO, the Chief Minister said that from May 1 to May 15, 2026, citizens will be able to complete self-enumeration, while from May 16 to June 14, 2026, census officials will conduct door-to-door enumeration of households across the state.

"Census 2027 is going to commence in the state from May 1. From May 1 to May 15, 2026, citizens will be able to participate in 'self-enumeration,' and from May 16 to June 14, 2026, census officials will conduct door-to-door household counting," said the Chief Minister

Highlighting the geographical scale of the state, Sharma noted that Rajasthan is the largest state in India by area, and census personnel will travel long distances to reach every household. He appealed to residents to uphold Rajasthan's tradition of hospitality and extend cooperation to census workers by sharing correct details.

"Rajasthan is the largest state in the country in terms of area. Census workers will travel long distances to reach your doorstep. In keeping with Rajasthan's tradition of hospitality, please provide them with accurate information. The correct information you provide today will help realise the vision of a 'Viksit Rajasthan' and a 'Viksit India' tomorrow," the Chief Minister added.

Census 2027 will be the 16th in the series of Indian censuses and the 8th since independence. This will be the largest census exercise in the world and marks a major step forward with digital integration, strengthened data security, and streamlining processes, reinforcing evidence-based policymaking. It introduces several pioneering features, including mobile-based data collection, near real-time monitoring through the Census Management & Monitoring System (CMMS) portal, an optional self-enumeration facility, and extensive use of geo-referenced jurisdictions. Comprehensive caste enumeration will be done during the Population Enumeration phase.

Supported by advanced digital tools, the exercise aims to deliver faster, more accurate, and granular data while ensuring the highest standards of data security and public participation.

Indian Census has since been conducted decennially. However, the Census due in 2021 could not be undertaken on schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Census 2027 will therefore mark the next enumeration in the series, and is the 16th Indian Census overall and the 8th since Independence.

Finally caste enumeration is back! This is crucial for understanding social realities and implementing reservation policies properly. But I just hope the data is handled responsibly and not misused for politics. Accurate figures will help in better planning for education and jobs in Rajasthan.

Interesting how India handles its census differently. I'm in Rajasthan for work and have never experienced this before. The hospitality mentioned is real - people here are genuinely warm. Hope the door-to-door process goes smoothly and everyone cooperates!

While I appreciate the digital push, what about the elderly who aren't tech-savvy? My grandparents in Jodhpur still use basic phones. Door-to-door workers will definitely help them, but I hope the training for census officials is thorough. Last time in 2011, there were many errors. Let's hope 2027 is better! 🤞

"Viksit Rajasthan" sounds inspiring but accurate data is key. I've seen development projects fail because of outdated population stats. The self-enumeration portal needs multilingual support - Hindi and local dialects are a must. Hope the state government has trained enough staff for this massive exercise.

Big thumbs up for the digital census! 👍 As a researcher, I know how outdated our demographic data has become since 2011. The pandemic delayed it by 6 years. Self-enumeration is way more convenient for working professionals like me. Just hope the CMMS portal doesn't crash on day one like government websites usually do 😅
