Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Monday launched the new website of Census Gujarat in Gandhinagar, in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghvi, a release said.

Finally moving towards digital India! The multilingual feature is much needed in a diverse state like Gujarat. Hope they ensure data security is top priority though.
Self-enumeration is a game-changer! This will save so much time and resources. Looking forward to seeing how the pilot project works out in selected districts.
While digital initiatives are welcome, I hope they don't forget rural areas where internet connectivity is still a challenge. The government should ensure no one is left behind in this digital census.
Good step forward! The census data will help in better planning and development. Hope the website is accessible in all regional languages of Gujarat. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
Appreciate the digital approach, but concerned about data privacy. Hope there are strong safeguards in place. The government should be transparent about how our personal information will be protected.
