Dr. Jitendra Gouda, Deputy Director of the Directorate of Census Operations, addressed public concerns regarding the Census, clarifying that it is not associated with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and does not require any documentation from participants. He highlighted the challenges faced during the enumeration process, particularly with tenant participation, and noted that the Directorate implemented outreach strategies such as street plays and awareness vans to educate the public on the importance of the Census. Gouda assured that the information collected is secure and maintained under the Census Act of 1948, which protects individual data privacy by only publishing aggregate information. He also explained the 'Normally Resident' concept used in the Census, stating that it counts individuals based on their usual residence rather than their permanent residency status. The first phase of the Census in Delhi has been completed smoothly, with the second phase nearing its final stage, reflecting the efforts of district authorities in ensuring comprehensive data collection.
