Ferozepur, November 13:
Under India’s first-ever Digital Census-2027, citizens are being provided with the facility of self-enumeration, enabling them to submit the required information about their families online from the comfort of their homes between November 16 and November 30, 2026.
To create awareness among the general public about this initiative, an awareness van was flagged off from the District Administrative Complex by Additional Deputy Commissioner (General), Mr. Krishna Pal Rajput, under the directions of Deputy Commissioner-cum-Principal Census Officer, Ms. Deepshikha Sharma. The van will visit various locations across the district to educate people about the census process.
Sharing details about the census, Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Mr. Krishna Pal Rajput said that digital technology was being used for the first time to make the census process simpler, more transparent and more effective. He stated that through the self-enumeration facility, citizens would be able to enter their family details online at their convenience during the stipulated period.
He further informed that a dedicated online portal, https://se.census.gov.in , has been developed for self-enumeration, through which citizens can submit the required information about their families. After successfully submitting the information, a unique Self-Enumeration ID will be generated. Citizens must preserve this ID and share it with census enumerators who will visit their homes later, so that the information submitted online can be verified.
On this occasion, he said that all departments should make efforts at their respective levels to disseminate information about the self-enumeration process among the public and encourage citizens to take advantage of this digital facility. This would help ensure that the census process is completed smoothly and effectively.
He appealed to the residents of the district to make maximum use of this facility and actively participate in the Census-2027 process.
Those present on the occasion included Chief Minister’s Field Officer Mr. Himanshu, IAS; Deputy ESA Mr. Gurinder Singh; Assistant Research Officers Mr. Tarsem Lal and Mr. Harjinder Singh; Head Teacher Paramjit Singh; along with officials from various departments.
