  "summary": "Mizoram is aiming to become the first state to complete the Census 2027, with the state government stepping up preparations for the population enumeration exercise. Chief Secretary Khilli Ram Meena emphasized the need for accuracy and thoroughness, noting that census data would play a crucial role in policymaking and achieving the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. The second phase of the census, which includes training and field arrangements, is scheduled to be completed in November, with each enumerator expected to cover around 800 people. The Centre has allocated ₹19.19 crore to Mizoram for the exercise, and officials have emphasized that people who do not wish to share their Aadhaar numbers must not be compelled to do so.",
