The self-enumeration phase of Census 2027 began in Nagaland on Tuesday, with Governor Nand Kishore Yadav participating in the exercise at Lok Bhavan in Kohima.
Appealing to all citizens of the state to actively participate, the Governor emphasized that Census 2027, under the theme “My Census, My Development,” will provide vital data for planning and ensuring inclusive development.
He urged every household to complete self-enumeration and support the successful conduct of this important national exercise.
He noted that, for the first time, citizens can enumerate their households online during the self-enumeration period from June 16 to 30, marking a shift towards a more citizen-centric and digitally enabled Census process.
According to the governor, Census 2027 is being conducted in a fully digital mode, making the exercise more efficient, inclusive and accessible.
He said the Census would provide vital data for development planning and help ensure that government schemes and services reach all sections of society as the country moves towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
The information collected during the exercise, he said, would support policy decisions in areas such as education, healthcare, infrastructure and social welfare.
The governor also acknowledged the services of more than 6,100 Census officials deployed across Nagaland and urged them to carry out their responsibilities with sincerity, professionalism and integrity.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio also urged people to participate in the self-enumeration exercise.
