ITANAGAR, Apr 14: The government has announced that the self-enumeration process under the Houselisting and Housing Census for Census 2027 will begin this year from April 16 across Arunachal Pradesh. This important national exercise will continue until April 30, giving residents the opportunity to provide their household details through self-enumeration.
Self-Enumeration is a simple and convenient process that allows individuals and families to fill in their own information using official platforms. It helps ensure accurate and timely data collection. Authorities have encouraged all residents to actively participate in this phase and provide correct details about their household, housing conditions, and basic amenities.
Following the completion of the Self Enumeration phase, the Houselisting and Housing Census (HLO) Field Operations will begin on May 1, and continue until May 30. During this period, trained Census enumerators will visit households across the State to collect data directly. These visits are an essential part of the Census process to verify and complete information.
Officials have urged the people of Arunachal Pradesh to cooperate fully with the Census enumerators during their house-to-house visits. Residents are requested to provide accurate and honest information, as the collected data plays a vital role in planning and development activities. It helps the government understand population trends, housing conditions, and access to basic services such as water, electricity, and sanitation.
Census, one of the largest administrative exercises conducted in the country, is crucial for policy-making and governance. Data collected during the Census is used to design welfare schemes, allocate resources, and improve infrastructure in both rural and urban areas, stated Chafikhur Rahman, Assistant Director (T), Directorate of Census Operations, Arunachal Pradesh.
Authorities have also assured that all personal information collected during the Census will be kept confidential and used only for statistical purposes. Strict guidelines are in place to ensure data privacy and security.
