The government currently operates Phase I of national census activities which include house listing and data verification processes. The system creates basic household identification records which confirm the information that residents shared through online channels. The operation runs according to state time frames which enhance both precision and geographical reach through its multiple execution stages.
April 16 Rollout in Selected States
- House listing operations began on April 16 in Delhi, Goa, Karnataka, Mizoram, Odisha, Sikkim, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and Lakshadweep. Enumerators will visit each home and collect key household details. The team will continue visiting households until May 15.
- These regions have already completed self-enumeration. About 1.2 million households submitted their details through the official portal. The field staff will verify these details through their site visits and make necessary corrections.
Upcoming Phases in Other States
- Self-enumeration will begin on April 16 in additional state territories. The states that will participate in this program include Andhra Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh and Haryana and Chandigarh and Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The online portal will remain open until April 30.
- The house listing process will begin on May 1 and finish on May 30 after completing this step. The enumerators will visit every residence to gather and confirm data. The system allows users to enter information which will undergo verification through physical inspections.
Bihar and Overall Timeline Summary
- Bihar operates a schedule which requires less time than its typical timetable but it uses identical procedures. The process will run from April 17 to May 1, covering both enumeration and listing within this period.
- Overall, the census follows a structured approach. Some regions start with self-enumeration, while others move directly to field visits. Each phase supports the next, which helps create a more complete and reliable national database.
