Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged young Indians in his Independence Day address to spend one or two hours helping their families complete Census 2027 details accurately. He said citizens can submit information through their mobile phones, while officials may later verify it. Modi advised families to first fill the form on paper and check names, spellings and other details before uploading it. The Census is being conducted digitally for the first time, while door-to-door enumeration continues. LiveMint reports that houselisting and the Housing Census have been completed in 31 States and Union territories. The population enumeration phase will include demographic, socio-economic, cultural and migration details, as well as first-time caste-related questions. Data collection is targeted to conclude by March 1, 2027.
