Lucknow: Population enumeration under the second phase of census 2027 is scheduled in the district to take place from Nov 16 to 30.

The DM said that for the 2027 Census, a ‘self-enumeration’ facility is being provided to the public for the first time. Tanwar said the questionnaire prescribed for the population census contains a total of 40 questions.
The data will play a crucial role in the formulation of future development plans, the allocation of resources and determination of public welfare policies, he said. For the first time, the census process is being conducted through digital means. The objective is to compile authentic data regarding the social, educational, economic and demographic status of the population. Under this, any family can visit the portal https://se.census.gov.in within a specified period and enter the details of their family members. After submitting the details online, a unique identification number will be issued, which must be provided to the enumerator visiting the home. The enumerator will verify the submitted details based on this number. Information would be collected regarding each family member, including their name, age, gender, date of birth, place of birth, marital status, relationship to the head of the household, religion, mother tongue and other languages known, educational qualifications, literacy status, attendance at a school or educational institution, details concerning employment and livelihood-related activities, and the nature of their work. In addition, the questionnaire covers topics such as place of birth and current place of residence, previous residence, reasons for migration, details regarding disability, specific demographic information concerning women, and access to banking facilities.
