# Census 2027 count in Gurgaon starts 25 Jan, self-enumeration from 10 Jan 2026-11-10T10:32:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Gurgaon’s second phase of Census 2027 will begin on 25 January, with enumerators visiting households until 28 February. Residents can self-enumerate online from 10 to 24 January at se.census.gov.in, but a verification visit by enumerators remains mandatory, Deputy Commissioner Uttam Singh said on Monday, 9 November. The census questionnaire contains 37 questions covering demographic, social, educational, economic, language and migration details. A five-day revisional round runs from 1 to 5 March to fix omissions and discrepancies. The data will guide infrastructure, welfare schemes and essential services planning. The first houselisting phase ran from April through self-enumeration and door-to-door visits. The administration is training enumerators and supervisors on the questionnaire, mobile app and field procedures. Complete coverage is a challenge in Gurgaon due to high-rise complexes, new sectors, rented housing, slums and a large migrant population. Singh urged RWAs and residents to cooperate and said personal data remains confidential under the Census Act, 1948. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 37-question census form signals a broad data-collection effort, but its real-world utility depends on coverage in Gurgaon’s hard-to-reach pockets: high-rises that restrict access, migrant-heavy slums, and rapidly built new sectors. The online self-enumeration window, while convenient, does not replace the enumerator’s verification visit, meaning every household still faces a physical call. Gurgaon’s mobile population and unorganised housing make a complete count difficult, and the five-day revision round from 1 March is the only formal chance to fix omissions before the data is finalised. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Leads with census schedule details, no government criticism or political slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
