Gandhinagar, June 1: Gujarat has officially launched the first phase of the Census 2027 exercise, marking the beginning of a large-scale nationwide data collection initiative aimed at capturing detailed demographic and socio-economic information across the state.
The initial phase focuses on household-level enumeration, including data on housing conditions, availability of basic amenities, and living standards. Trained field workers have begun door-to-door surveys across both urban and rural regions to ensure accurate and comprehensive coverage of the population.
Officials stated that the census process is a critical tool for governance and long-term planning, providing essential insights that guide policymaking in sectors such as infrastructure development, healthcare services, education, housing, and welfare programs. The data collected will play a key role in understanding population distribution and emerging socio-economic trends.
Authorities have urged citizens to actively cooperate with enumerators and provide accurate information to ensure the success of the exercise. They also reassured the public that all collected data will be handled with strict confidentiality in accordance with established guidelines.
The Census 2027 exercise is expected to serve as a vital reference point for government planning at both the state and national levels, enabling more targeted and evidence-based decision-making in the coming years.
With the commencement of the first phase in Gujarat, preparations are underway to ensure a smooth rollout of the census process across all regions in the subsequent stages.
