India’s Census-2027, the world’s largest and first digitally conducted population count, officially began today across the country.
Officials said the exercise marks a historic shift from traditional paper-based enumeration to a fully digital process, aimed at improving accuracy, efficiency, and transparency.
The census will be conducted using mobile applications and secure digital platforms, enabling real-time data collection and reducing the scope for errors and delays.
Authorities noted that the digital census will cover demographic, social, and economic indicators, providing crucial insights for policy-making and development planning.
With over a billion people to be counted, Census-2027 is expected to set a global benchmark in large-scale digital data collection, reinforcing India’s commitment to modernization and technological innovation.
