Census 2027: Door-to-Door Population Count in Panchkula from January 25; Online Registration Opens January 10

Panchkula, Nov 10 (UNI) The second phase of Census 2027, involving door-to-door population enumeration, will begin in Panchkula and across Haryana on January 25 and continue until February 28, with residents given an opportunity to submit their household details online in advance from January 10 to 24.
Deputy Commissioner-cum-Principal Census Officer Satpal Sharma said a five-day revisional round would be conducted from March 1 to 5 to ensure complete coverage and prevent omissions or duplication.
School teachers and other government employees will be deployed as enumerators for the exercise, which will be conducted digitally. For the first time in the district's Census operations, residents will be able to furnish their details through the online self-enumeration facility at https:e.census.gov.in before enumerators visit their homes. The facility will remain available for 15 days, from January 10 to 24, 2027.
Sharma said enumerators would subsequently visit households to collect and verify the required information. The exercise will cover every household and individual, with particular emphasis on achieving 100 per cent coverage.
During the population enumeration phase, residents will be asked 40 prescribed questions covering demographic and social characteristics, educational qualifications, economic activities, language, migration and other specified particulars. The Deputy Commissioner said the information would help governments assess population trends, plan public infrastructure and determine requirements for schools, healthcare facilities and other essential services.
Unlike conventional paper-based enumeration, Census 2027 will use designated mobile applications for data collection. The Census Management and Monitoring System (CMMS) will enable officials to monitor field operations, supervise enumerators and track progress. Sharma said the digital system was expected to reduce data-entry errors and improve administrative coordination.
Enumerators and supervisory staff would undergo necessary training before the exercise. He urged residents to provide accurate and complete information and cooperate with Census personnel during household visits. He also advised them to keep their Aadhaar, passport, driving licence and voter identity card numbers readily available in case relevant details were required during enumeration. The Deputy Commissioner assured residents that information collected during the Census would remain confidential under the Census Act, 1948.
Sharma warned that obstructing authorised Census personnel or interfering with their official duties could attract legal action under Section 11 of the Census Act, 1948. He said the relevant provisions prescribe imprisonment of up to three years and a fine of up to Rs 1,000 for specified offences.
The Deputy Commissioner appealed to residents to make maximum use of the self-enumeration facility and cooperate with field staff to ensure that no household or individual is left out of Census 2027. UNI KK CDS
