Prime Minister

Narendra Modi’s Call
Regarding

The World’s

Largest Census

My dear countrymen,
A very important campaign is currently underway in our country, which every Indian must
be aware of. This is the Census campaign, the world’s largest census. Those who have already
undergone such a process will have a different experience this time.

n Census 2027 has been made digital. All information is being recorded directly in digital form.
The enumerators going door-to-door have a mobile app. They will enter the information in it
after talking to you.

n This time, your participation in the census has also been made easier; you can enter your
information yourself. This facility will open for you 15 days before the enumerator’s arrival.
You can enter the information as per your convenience. When you complete the process, you
receive a special ID. This ID is received on your mobile or email. Later, when the enumerator
visits your home, you can verify the information by showing this ID. This eliminates the need
to give information again. This saves time and simplifies the process.

n In states where self-enumeration has been completed, census staff have also begun enumerating
households. House listing for approximately one crore, twenty lakh families has been
completed so far.

n The national census isn’t just a government task. It’s the responsibility of all of us. Your
participation is crucial. The information you provide is completely secure, kept confidential,
and protected with digital security. Come, let’s all participate in this process. Let’s make
Census 2027 a success.
