In the country’s upcoming Census 2027, information related to all castes will also be recorded for the first time since Independence. Under this significant change, several social and economic details, including caste-related information, will be collected from citizens in the second phase of the population enumeration.
The second phase of the Census process will begin first in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa and the snow-free areas of Uttarakhand. Citizens in these states and areas will be able to carry out online self-enumeration from November 16 to November 30, 2026. After this, enumerators will conduct door-to-door population enumeration from December 1, 2026, to January 4, 2027.
Under the self-enumeration option, citizens will be able to enter information related to their family and members themselves on the designated online portal. On successful submission of the information, a unique self-enumeration identification number will be issued, which will have to be provided to the enumerator visiting the home.
This time, the Census will also be conducted through digital means. Along with caste-related data, information on education, employment, migration and other demographic details will also be collected. The process is expected to provide comprehensive data related to the country’s social structure and population status.
