The first phase of self-enumeration for Census 2027 in Uttar Pradesh concluded with around 48.76 lakh individuals participating. This phase, which ended on Thursday, is a precursor to the door-to-door house listing and housing census activities set to commence on May 22 and continue until June 20. Enumerators will visit households to gather detailed information through 33 questions concerning housing conditions, household amenities, assets, digital access, and lifestyle. Among the districts, Shahjahanpur led with 2.96 lakh participants, while Kaushambi had the lowest with 13,666. The census will also document the type and ownership of houses, construction materials, and the number of rooms. Additionally, questions regarding access to basic facilities like drinking water, electricity, and sanitation will be included. Notably, Census 2027 marks a significant shift as it will be the first fully digital census in India, utilizing the HLO App for data collection, thereby replacing traditional paper surveys.
