Bhubaneswar, April 3 Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday urged citizens to extend cooperation for the successful conduct of Census 2027 by sharing their details on the self-enumeration portal ahead of the door-to-door survey.
It is worth noting that the Census programme in the state has been launched in coordination with the Directorate of Census Operations, Odisha, under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, and the Revenue and Disaster Management Department of the Government of Odisha.
The first phase of the Census -- House Listing and Housing Census -- is scheduled to begin from April 16. Under this programme, trained enumerators and supervisors will visit households and collect data from April 16 to May 15. Prior to this, the self-enumeration programme is being conducted from April 1 to midnight of April 15.
Under this programme, citizens are providing their information on their own through the self-enumeration portal (https://se.census.gov.in).
“I request all of you that if you have not yet submitted your information, please do so through this portal and cooperate in the Census. I have also completed my self-enumeration. You should do the same,” Majhi said.
“From April 16, trained enumerators will visit households to collect information. This data is extremely important for planning and implementation of development programmes for our state as well as the country. Therefore, I urge all of you to extend your cooperation and make this programme a success,” he added.
Majhi also emphasised that the state government has made all necessary preparations for the Census 2027 programme. He requested people to provide accurate details when enumerators visit their homes and contribute to the development of the state and the nation.
“On behalf of the Government of Odisha, I request your wholehearted participation for the success of this national programme,” Majhi said.
Notably, the Odisha government has directed all its departments, district administrations, and urban local bodies not to transfer officials and employees engaged in census duties to ensure the successful completion of Census 2027. The state government has undertaken extensive preparations to ensure the smooth conduct of the exercise.
