A ‘self-enumeration’ exercise under India’s upcoming census exercise was opened in Rajasthan on Friday, allowing residents to submit their household details online, officials said.
The process of ‘Census 2027’ was officially launched in the state by Governor Haribhau Bagde at Lok Bhavan through self-census, marking the beginning of the first phase of census activities across Rajasthan.
According to an official spokesman, the governor urged citizens to actively participate in the important national exercise and provide accurate and complete information through the self-counting facility.
He said that public cooperation in the “Census 2027” process will contribute to the country’s comprehensive development.
Director of Census Operations, Vishnu Sharan Malik, said that before the door-to-door survey is conducted, citizens can avail the self-enumeration service on the web portal from May 1 to 15, 2026. During this period, individuals can provide details about themselves and their families digitally using their mobile numbers and required credentials.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma also participated in the self-census exercise on Friday, filling out and submitting his details on the official portal to encourage citizens.
He said that ‘Census 2027’ will play a crucial role in realizing the vision of a digital and advanced India by 2047 and appealed to people to actively join the nationwide exercise and contribute to the nation-building efforts.
