India starts Census 2027 houselisting visits in six states and UTs
→Census teams must complete first houselisting visits by May 30
Change
India's Ministry of Home Affairs started Census 2027 houselisting visits in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, with field operations running until May 30, 2026.
Why it matters
Census fieldwork now depends on mobile-app data capture and Self-Enumeration ID matching. Households that used Self-Enumeration must share the generated SE ID during enumerator visits to complete the houselisting process.
Implications
- → Enumerator teams in the six notified states and UTs must complete houselisting visits by May 30, 2026 — missed coverage can disrupt the Census 2027 Phase 1 field schedule.
- → Census field supervisors must ensure mobile-app data capture during visits — the notified process relies on digital collection by trained enumerators.
