Jaipur, May 1 Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde formally launched the ‘Census 2027’ process in the state on Friday at Lok Bhawan by undertaking self-enumeration. With this, the first phase of census activities has officially commenced across the state.
On this occasion, the Governor appealed to citizens to actively participate in the crucial national exercise and ensure the submission of accurate and complete information through the self-enumeration facility.
He noted that the Census Web Portal, developed by the Government of India, is simple, secure, and user-friendly, allowing individuals to conveniently fill in their details.
Bagde particularly called upon youth and social organisations to extend support to those unfamiliar with digital platforms, ensuring that no one is excluded from the process. He emphasised that public participation in ‘Census 2027’ reflects a direct contribution to the nation’s inclusive and holistic development.

Highlighting a key feature, officials noted that this will be India’s first fully digital census, with data collection being conducted entirely through digital devices. In addition, citizens have been given the option of self-enumeration through a secure, web-based system.
