Bhubaneswar, Nov 10 (UDN): The National Census 2027 is scheduled to commence on January 25 and continue until February 28. A follow-up enumeration exercise will be conducted from March 1 to March 5.
Census operations will reportedly not be carried out in states and regions where elections are scheduled or where heavy snowfall creates difficulties for the enumeration process.
The states and regions excluded from the January–February schedule include:
* Poll-bound states: Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Uttarakhand.
* Snow-bound regions: Ladakh and snow-bound areas of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.
* Manipur: Census operations have also been deferred until further notification.
The exercise will be conducted separately in the excluded states and regions.
Note: Online self-enumeration will be available from January 10 to January 24, 2027, before the door-to-door census begins. Gazette Tracker +2
