Overview
- State governments have published Phase‑I schedules and self‑enumeration periods as they gear up for the House‑listing and Housing Census phase ahead of nationwide Population Enumeration planned for February 2027.
- Assam announced a Phase‑I window with self‑enumeration via se.census.gov.in and said it will deploy about 83,535 enumerators and supervisors for houselisting work.
- Kerala plans Houselisting from July 1 to July 30 with self‑enumeration in mid‑June and will press a little over 70,000 staff into service, mostly teachers, after three‑day digital training sessions.
- Himachal Pradesh set Phase‑I from June 16 to July 15 with a self‑enumeration window in early June and scheduled Phase‑II dates split for snow‑bound areas and the rest of the state to match weather constraints.
- Officials say Census 2027 will use four digital tools — a block‑creation web app, a mobile HLO app, the self‑enumeration portal and a management/monitoring system — with cascade training and real‑time monitoring intended to boost accuracy and public participation.
