Nagaon : The first phase of Census 2027 commenced today in Nagaon district along with the rest of the country. Addressing a press conference at the District Commissioner's office, District Commissioner Debashish Sharma appealed to the people of the district to actively participate in the self-enumeration process to ensure faster and more efficient completion of the census.
The District Commissioner informed that the self-enumeration facility will remain available from August 2 to August 16 through the official Census portal, where citizens can submit their household details online using a smartphone or computer. He stated that this initiative would significantly reduce the workload of enumerators while enabling citizens to provide accurate information conveniently.
Describing Census 2027 as India's first fully digital census and the country's eighth population census, Sharma highlighted the importance of reliable census data in policy formulation, developmental planning and socio-economic decision-making. He urged residents to furnish correct information, assuring that all personal data collected during the census would remain confidential and protected.
He further informed that households unable to complete self-enumeration need not be concerned, as enumerators will conduct door-to-door enumeration across the district from August 17 to September 15. During the press conference, officials also demonstrated the self-enumeration process and explained that citizens who complete the online registration should retain the generated SE ID and present it to the enumerator during the verification process.
The press conference was attended by District Development Commissioner Devyani Choudhury, Additional District Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners, Co-District Commissioners, the Additional Superintendent of Police, the District Information and Public Relations Officer and other senior officials.
