A training program for the 2027 Census in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, has highlighted issues of absenteeism, with 24 personnel missing a mandatory session at the GL Bajaj Institute of Technology and Management. The training, which began on Tuesday and lasts three days, is essential for preparing around 3,000 enumerators and supervisors for the census, focusing on house listing and housing database preparation. Following the absenteeism, officials, including Additional Chief Executive Officer Sumit Yadav, warned that disciplinary actions, including show-cause notices, would be issued to those who missed the session. The importance of this training is underscored by the need for accurate data collection, which is critical for the national census exercise. Authorities are closely monitoring attendance and training outcomes to ensure all personnel are adequately prepared before field deployment.
