Digital Census 2027 Kicks Off Today: How to Complete Online Self-Enumeration via Portal
The Digital Census 2027 self-enumeration phase of the process has been officially started by India, which has become a significant development in the process of India’s first ever digital Census. Individuals can provide their household information via the official Self-Enumeration (SE) portal prior to the process of physical verification undertaken by the census enumerators.
What Is Digital Census 2027?
Digital Census 2027 is India’s first-ever digital Census as data collection will take place using digital methods to a large extent. For the first time in history, individuals will be allowed to give information about themselves digitally without having to wait for the census enumerators to write down all their responses physically.
What Is Self-Enumeration?
Self-enumeration allows the head of a household or another authorised family member to enter census information online using the official SE portal. Once the information is submitted successfully, the system generates a unique Self-Enumeration ID (SE ID). During the house visit, the enumerator only needs to verify this SE ID instead of collecting all the details again, making the process quicker for both citizens and officials.
How to Complete the Online Self-Enumeration Process
To begin, visit the official Self-Enumeration portal:
Self-Enumeration Portal (se.census.gov.in)
Create your account by entering your mobile number and verifying through OTP. Post login, select the state or UT of yours, enter the details of your house and fill up the census form. Also, the portal makes users locate the place of their residence on the map before reviewing and submitting the form. Once the entire process is completed, you get an 11-digit SE ID. This ID needs to be stored safely as you will need this for the visit of census enumerator.
What Information Will You Need?
For self-enumeration, households are expected to furnish details concerning the individuals living in the household, the conditions of the house, and the amenities available. Contact information such as mobile numbers to enable OTP verification may also be requested on the portal. It is important to have the information correct as it forms part of the census database after it is verified.
Will the Officials Visit Your House?
Yes. Self-enumeration done through the portal does not mean that the enumerators will not visit your house. Enumerators will conduct house visits to verify the information that has been provided and verify the SE ID that has been generated.
Why Is India Moving to a Digital Census?
According to the Government, digitalisation will enhance the speed of the operations involved in conducting the census, increase accuracy of the data collected, minimise manual work and facilitate data processing. In addition, it will give citizens the option of undertaking the census in their own free time without having to wait for the enumerators to visit them. The Digital Census will assist in better planning of public services, infrastructure, healthcare, education and welfare schemes in the coming years.
What to Know Before Filing
When filling in the online form, it is important to check all household information provided since wrong details might need to be rectified later when verifying them. One should keep the registered mobile number alive in order to get OTPs and to retain the generated SE ID until the verification process is done.
