CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Government of India has officially issued a notification regarding the upcoming National Population Census scheduled for 2027. This significant administrative move marks the beginning of preparatory steps for the most extensive demographic data collection exercise in the country. The census, which is conducted every ten years, was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making the 2027 census particularly crucial for assessing post-pandemic population trends, migration, urbanization, and socio-economic changes.
As per the notification, all states and union territories have been instructed to begin logistical planning and resource allocation to ensure a smooth and inclusive enumeration process. The Centre aims to deploy advanced digital tools and technologies for the first time on such a large scale, streamlining data collection and minimizing human error.
Officials emphasize that the 2027 census will not only provide an updated population count but also generate detailed insights into housing, education, employment, and access to basic services. These findings will guide future policymaking, welfare schemes, and infrastructure development. Public cooperation is essential, and the government urges citizens to participate actively and honestly.
