India Census 2027 Explained | India’s First Digital Census & Key Features | UPSC | NEXT IAS

Описание: India has started preparations for the Census 2027, which will be the 16th Census of India and the first fully digital census in the country. The enumeration process began on 1 April 2026 and will be conducted in two phases—House Listing & Housing Census and Population Enumeration. Governed by the Census Act, 1948, the census is a Union subject under the Seventh Schedule and is coordinated by the central government with support from states. This exercise will include digital enumeration, self-enumeration portals, census monitoring systems, and caste-based data collection, making it a major administrative and statistical operation. Census data is crucial for policy making, governance, welfare schemes, and demographic planning, and the 2027 census will provide updated insights into India’s population, socio-economic conditions, migration patterns, and development needs. This topic is highly important for UPSC Prelims and Mains under Polity, Governance, and Social Issues.
