Census 2027: PM Modi tells youth why their ‘1-2 hours’ matter, how they can help family, ensure accurate data records
Independence Day 2027: Appealing to the youth of the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi explained why recording accurate data as part of this census is significant.
On the occasion of Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed his country's youth, urging them to assist in the country's ongoing Census 2027. He emphasized that dedicating just an hour or two of their time could significantly bolster the nation's efforts. PM Modi highlighted the importance of accurate data in the census, as it shapes government policies and facilitates the creation of a roadmap for the country's progress.
The youth can contribute by digitally registering their family's census details, ensuring their information is error-free. The census comprises two phases: Phase 1, which involves houselisting and Housing Census, and Phase 2, which focuses on Population Enumeration to gather demographic and socio-economic data. During Population Enumeration, families should first fill out the census form on paper to correct any mistakes before uploading the information digitally.
The PM assured that with the availability of technology, people can submit their census details themselves via mobile phones, with officials visiting later to discuss the information. He called upon the youth to sit with their families, fill out the form accurately, and then upload it digitally. Census 2027 is in its second phase, where the population enumeration phase will take place from September 1 to September 30, 2026, in Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
