Prime Minister Modi Urges Citizen Participation in Digital Census 2027

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called upon citizens to actively participate in the Census 2027, describing it as a shared responsibility beyond a mere governmental activity. Addressing the nation through his radio program 'Mann Ki Baat', Modi reassured that the gathered data will be secure and confidential.

Modi emphasized the significance of this national campaign and the technological advancements marking it as a digital initiative. He noted that Census 2027 will see a transition to digital data collection, with officials employing mobile apps for direct information entry during home visits.

Additionally, the Prime Minister introduced a self-enumeration feature, enabling citizens to input their information before official visits. This facility aims to streamline the process and reduce redundancy by generating a unique ID for verification when officials eventually visit.
