Census 2027: Self-Enumeration to Begin on November 16, DM Urges Every Citizen to Participate

Aligarh: The district administration has stepped up preparations for Census 2027, urging residents to actively participate in the nationwide exercise. District Magistrate Avinash Kumar appealed to citizens to ensure their families are included in the census, emphasising that accurate population data will play a crucial role in shaping future development plans and public welfare policies.

He said the census is not merely an exercise to count the population but an important foundation for planning essential public services. Information collected through the process will help authorities formulate better policies and allocate resources for sectors such as education, healthcare, housing and other civic facilities.

When will the self-enumeration facility be available?

According to the District Magistrate, the self-enumeration facility under the second phase of Census 2027 will remain available from November 16 to November 30, 2026.

Residents can visit the official portal, se.census.gov.in, to enter their household details online. After completing the process, they must save the identification number generated during self-enumeration. This number will need to be presented to the enumerator when they visit the household for verification.

Door-to-door census exercise from December 1

The DM informed that enumerators will conduct door-to-door population data collection between December 1, 2026, and January 4, 2027. He urged residents to cooperate with census officials and provide accurate and complete information during their visits.

The administration has also been asked to ensure that information about the census reaches every section of society, including tenants, migrant workers, senior citizens, individuals living alone and families residing in remote settlements.

Administration appeals for complete public participation

Avinash Kumar stressed that no individual or household should be left out of the census exercise. He described public participation as essential for ensuring reliable data and supporting the country's future development.

The District Magistrate also encouraged residents to complete their self-enumeration within the stipulated period and spread awareness among family members, friends and neighbours to ensure maximum participation.
