Census 2027 houselisting visits begin 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 six states and UTs through May 30, 2026.
Why it matters
Census fieldwork runs on mobile-app data capture and Self-Enumeration ID matching. Households that completed Self-Enumeration must provide their SE ID to enumerators — unmatched IDs permanently sever online submissions from field records.
Implications
- → Enumerator teams in notified states and UTs must complete houselisting visits by May 30 — missed coverage breaks Phase 1 fieldwork completion.
- → Census field supervisors must enforce mobile-app capture on every visit — manual capture gaps breach the notified digital process and corrupt the field record.
